That person insisting on the difference between kink and BDSM is making me really uncomfortable. I don’t understand how a portmanteau accronym can be seen as a monolithic abusive setting (even if I’m 500% onboard with kink criticism). Plus English is not my native language, which doesn’t have a word for “kinky” (closest translation is “coquin” but this word is used as “nicely naughty”). BDSM is the closest thing we have to an umbrella term for the multitude of relationships in B/D, D/S and S/M

Same… it seems like the argument is at heart a terminological one.  Like I don’t really like participating in the mainstream BDSM community anymore, but like… yeaaah
