Talk:Master/slave (BDSM)

message: A recent AfD for  Consensual nonconsent ended with the consensus to merge it with this article. I was actually the first to suggest this. However, once I set forth to do the merge, I discovered that another article, Consent (BDSM), is a far more suitable candidate as the merge target, and in fact already has the contents of the source article as a section.
So as not to make a mockery of the AfD process, I'd appreciate others' opinion before I go ahead and turn Consensual nonconsent to a redirect to Consent (BDSM). Perhaps both should be merged here?  Owen× ☎ 19:10, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: As there seems to be no opposition, I went ahead and did the redirect as described above. Feel free to undo this if you find a better merge target. Owen× ☎ 18:43, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

message: why is this and other articles on wikipedia so female and hetro centric (i.e. fem mistriss, male slave, or vice versa, or fem mistriss and slave - where are the conversations/articles/entries/pictures regarding male-male bdsm?  there is a huge gay community out there into bdsm (in fact I would dare say they are larger then the female-male, male-females, female-female communities).  clear POV problem here? I am but a lowly slave myself so I humbly submitt this comment for discussion.  68.49.150.115 (talk) 02:41, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: As far as I could tell, the language used in this article is gender neutral. If you find examples where this is not the case, or can provide relevant pictures that are not hetero-centric, by all means, edit the article to improve it and add better pictures. Wikipedia is not edited by "Masters" only, you know. Owen× ☎ 14:04, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

text: The term "Master" applies to either male or female (as can the term "slave".)  As far as whether there are more gay/lesbian M/s relationships or hetero M/s relationships -- who cares?  It isn't a competition Atom (talk) 23:01, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

text: I must weigh in with the original comment. While technically the language of this and similar articles is neutral, the scope is not. In this article the only image is of a woman. In the article I linked from to get here the only image was of a woman. In the preceding article of three images all were of women. While the words may be technically correct, the visuals and the exclusion of references to the wider range of these activities and their participants skews the presentation in the direction of female submission and hetero-normative behavior.

message: Please read WP:PROD, or just look at the PROD notice on the page which clearly states "If this template is removed, do not replace it." The template was removed by  with the edit summary "rv bias". This is a clear objection to the PROD. I agree with that, your assertations of Abusive behaviour is clearly POV pushing. Now please stop your your disruptive behaviour. --John B123 (talk) 21:38, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
