All anti-kink sentiments are ridiculous, but the backlash against kink fashion has gotta be the most ridiculous. It's just clothes and acessories, and not even particularly revealing clothing half the time (leave it to kinksters to find ways to wear a fully enclosed bodysuit that's hornier than most bikinis)
A lot of it seems to come down to the idea of kink as a sort of secret sex, like if someone wears a collar for kinky reasons and you see it, they've fucked you somehow, and that's just not how it works.
Kink fashion is fundamentally fashion, just informed by a kinky notion of what's attractive rather than a vanilla one. Also, it's not like there's a line between kink fashion and 'vanilla' fashion, fashion houses take inspiration from kink all the time when they wanna be edgy and a large chunk of kink fashion is just repurposed PPE, millitary surplus or workwear.
It's really more about the assumptions people make about whoever is wearing it and pretty much 100% of the time it translates to marginalizing people who are visibly queer.
