To a lot of us it never was a "BDSM scene", though, neither did we see the romance path as a representation of it. It could also be argued that equating a relationship that includes Tav being intimidated out of a breakup attempt and in the end unable to leave the relationship to healthy BDSM would be far more dangerous and disrespectful to the community than a realistic depiction of a relationship that has nothing to do with BDSM.

It is one thing, asking to understand. When you get your answer you make up your understanding of a viewpoint and stop asking. Asking posters the same thing again and again feels a bit agressive. Answers are seldom gonna change.

To be honest it feels like it's the other way around now to me. In the first thread that was opened about this topic, the OP was bombarded with incredibly insensitive questioning and assumptions about their motives for wanting to keep the old expressions, so much so that it had to be locked. You can see the same things happening in this one too.
