Drupal founder Dries Buytaert expelled Larry "Crell" Garfield from the Drupal community (archive) for his involvement in the BDSM community. Garfield claims this was done at the demand of Drupal Security team member Klaus "klausi" Purer and unknown others secretly pressuring Drupal leadership to have him removed for his private sex life.

takyon: From Larry's response:

I am involved in two such communities, specifically the BDSM community and the Gorean (Gor) community. The former is by far the larger of the two and more varied, although I spend more of my time and activity in the Gorean community. It's a small community, and sadly much of what is found online about it is utter crap, just as most in the BDSM community find the "50 Shades" representation of BDSM to be harmfully misleading. The Gorean subculture is inspired by a science-fiction book series written from the 1960s onward to today, and predicated on a strong sense of personal honor, integrity, and community. It also practices consensual Master/slave relationships, and has a strong gender bias toward male-Dom/female-sub relationships, but that is not the cornerstone of Gorean culture. There are other groups that are biased the other way, or have no gender bias. There are even groups in Chicago (where I live) that have regular "fem-dom" parties. To each their own.

It's the same Gor that was adapted into two films, one of which appeared on an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000.

    Nuhuh. His BDSM is straight, so not protected by any of the above. It probably involves shackling females, and therefore is the embodiment of evil to feminazis.

    Nah, it's worse than that, it involves _consensual_ domination of females which is not just evil it is impossibly evil since no female could possibly consent to be dominated by a male, or *shudder* enjoy it. The victims therefore cannot possibly be both female and consenting, because all females are the same and are also unanimously opposed to being stereotyped.

      Bingo! The correct answer!

      You win an internet!

      I would have awarded you two internets, but you didn't use the trigger word "rape." Obviously, this BDSM group is engaged in human trafficking and sex slavery. Because no womyn-born-womyn would ever voluntarily be a part of it. Because reasons.

      Oh, christ, consensual? I've read that all consensual activity between a man and a woman is rape!

        Oh shit, u went there.

        I think the search term you want is probably "all PIV is rape" (exact phrase), with PIV meaning "penis in vagina". Warning, you may be triggered by the opinions you find.

          must be lesbians, or the guys causing that to be true must be shit in bed.

          I usually have the OPPOSITE problem of women getting angry about TOO MUCH foreplay and 'put that thing inside me already!'

          There are quite a few who center their sexual activity around the penis and only need foreplay to help get things flowing beforehand. (Some don't even need that!)

          On the other hand there are quite a few who need to learn to speak clearly about their sexual preferences so the issues don't come up in the middle, since not all guys keep sufficient blood flow to their brains in the middle.

            Hey. Your friendly (?) neighborhood femme lesbian here. No, the people saying that mostly are straight. Do you know why? Because the vast majority of women are straight. And there's not even that many of the "all heterosexual intercourse is rape!" crowd out there; a comparison I make a lot, because it's true, is that they are to feminism what the Westboro Baptist Church is to American Protestantism. They're loud, opinionated, dogmatic, and wrong in most or all the details.

            Just ignore those idiots. Every large movement is going to have extreme outliers.
