OK but it's mostly a sex thing, and calling it art doesn't change that. A lot of e.g. BDSM practice has significant artistic value, but doing it around nonconsenting members of the general public is stil something to be avoided.

Isn't that entirely reasonable? People who act normal in public get treated normally in public, people who go out of their way to look weird in public get treated as weird in public. Surely that's fair and correct.
