Talk:Munch (BDSM)

message: This page is full of inaccuracies. My previous experience editing on here means that I am totally unwilling to try to compete with whomever thinks this is their article. The history of munches is easily found and researched and verified. this entry is another reason why I do not trust wikipedia as a source of information. If there is genuine interest in trying to get this article up to speed I will help n=but I will not enter into another editing war with neophyte "no it alls".Economic Refugee (talk) 13:47, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sources!? 

message: This is a first post, so please forgive me if I inadvertently stomp on toes or transgress any guidelines.
I'll agree that the term 'munch' is often used in the BDSM and fetish community, but it is NOT exclusive to that community, as this entry implies.
I'm also forced to agree that I cannot find any references that will support my opinion, however, this has been my experience for the last 25 years. 
Munches were simply a group of people who chatted online, and organized offline activities, such as meeting for lunch (meeting+lunch=munch). This was also expanded to evenings as well. Other terms were used, too, such as a Get Together or GT. 
With so many statements lacking citations, linked references and such, and frankly, the historical information appears to be only local, I feel this entry is entirely suspect and mostly opinion and conjecture, rather than fact. This entry should also be a subset in munches in general.
I really feel that this should be reorganized, or flagged as suspect in some way.

replies: text: Here in England I've not heard munch used for a meeting or gathering or people.  In my experience it is  actually little used at all.

thread_title:  History section 

message: I don't edit Wikipedia often enough to be able to edit titles, but I believe the title of this should be "Munch (Kink)". I agree with the comment from Dannman that Munch isn't a very broad term, but it is broader than just the BDSM community. FetLife is the best source for munches, and information about it being a a popular site for organising Munches should probably be included in this article. Munches are directed at topics across the kink community - including BDSM, but also other topics like Femdom, Hypnosis, Petplay, and other aspects of kink. Some kink is non-sexual and does not incorporate bondage or BDSM. Imtaylor (talk) 21:57, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  Heckewelder 

message: Not that some random person on Wikipedia is anything to go by, but if the Creation story aspect is a full explanation of what is given in the document, it looks like the only parts that are wrong are the inclusion of Nanabush (aka Nanabuzho), which is an exclusive character to the Anishinaabeg cultural sphere, & probably bringing up some sort of creation war between a good spirit & an evil one. That seems Iroquoian- not that it's impossible for the Lenape to have taken some ideas from Iroquoian peoples into their stories, but it doesn't feel like it matches how Mediwiwin religion tends to work. I don't think it's outside of the question for there to be evil spirits in a Mediwiwin religion, but for them to get so deeply entwined in creation myth is weird for that culture.
With the flood starting because of a frog spirit & a snake spirit- many of the Algonquian flood myths utilize a snake spirit, have the world saved by the tribal cultural hero & there seems to be a uniquely east coast tradition of stories involving either a frog or turtle keeping all the water for itself & something usually having to happen to pry it loose. I'd imagine, in the original version (& because Algonquian cultural heroes are usually tricksters in & of themselves), that the cultural hero may have gotten the two spirits fighting one another in an attempt to get the water, but made a grievous error in judgement, causing the flood which he then had to help rectify himself. 
I imagine almost all of the "history" may be fictionalized. Algonquians didn't have a real writing system. They did have sacred bark scrolls of pictographs, which were used to help pass down stories, but it's more of a visual aid sort of circumstance. I have to suspect that the man got scrolls & had the stories involved explained in part to him, or had a written account of an explanation which he, himself, could follow, & mixed everything all up with a billion other things he heard from all over the place.

Several years later, Annie has Paul's daughter, who she has named Caroline."
Is Paul a ghost who impregnates Annie? Is he a walking dead? Did he leave his sperm in a bank and she gets impregnated artificially? Did she store his sperm in her body like some primitive animals can do for a long time?
