More on “The Match Percentage Fallacy, or, the influence of rolequeerness on the Predator Alert Tool project”

thebrightobvious: idlnmclean: maymay: […prior discussion truncated…] It deconstructs reified institutions and intuitions by applied and analytical philosophy. Very quick, very informal comment: let’s connect the “social justice as melodrama” concept to game theory. My explication probably will be flawed, so feel free to critique it. Interacting in mainstream society can be thought of as a […]

Jian Ghomeshi is irrelevant. What matters instead is continually denying that BDSM is abuse.

fieldofyellowdandelions asked: Do you have any thoughts on Jian Ghomeshi? I’ve had two conversations in the past week about him. In the first, a friend and I were talking about abuse and consent violations within the BDSM community, the “it’s not BDSM if it’s abuse” mentality and BDSM being a fertilization of abuse.

It’s sad but not surprising that what began as a space for Submissive solidarity and radical collective healing action quickly came under explicit and implicit attack by the blunted tip of familiar […]

Do you feel safe around people who adamantly deny the possibility that they could ever do abusive things?

emotionalexhib: On Rolequeerness – “sharpening the blade” maymay: I originally wrote the following as a reblog/comment on rolequeer‘s post, “On Rolequeerness – “blunting the tip”, but since apparently beyondthevalleyofthefemdoms is still using the #rolequeer tag despite saying they were not going to anymore, and since reblogs do not show up in Tumblr’s tracked tags, I […]
