Yeah, it's very frustrating. I see very little recognition of this as being a step backwards. It's about as bad (IMO) as kinksters embracing 50 Shades on the rationalization that it will draw more people into the kink community, without holding it accountable for its romanticizing of abuse. Everyone's jumping on this OKC thing with "but baby steps!"
No, it's a step *back*. It is *not* helpful, it only reinforces bad things that some of us have been working for years to break down in our communities. It's actually making our jobs harder.
