Talk:Coming Out
From BDSM Wiki
Re: Discussion of Jack McGeorge
The article currently makes the claim that the Jack McGeorge case shows that BDSM is a threat to one's job. Actually, the facts show the opposite. Please see the linked article. I added citation needed tags because the article cites a lot of statistics out of thin air, which actually seem dubious. That, together with the error about Jack McGeorge, shows a very clear bias in the writing. I recommend removing this reference and trying to rewrite with a more NPOV (eliminate bias). 76.73.41.174 21:44, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
- Good points that need to be addressed, that edit was from someone else, I'll look into some research on it. --Admin (talk) 07:27, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
This is an entire entry about coming out that doesn't even mention queerness/homosexuality. It is appropriative to the point of erasure. Revisionist history for het BDSMers.
- The goal of this wiki is not to bias for any specific gender, status, or orientation, but to discuss BDSM. If you would like to add history about coming out in there and the gay movement you are welcome to reference and write it for perspective, but it isn't essential to explain the key concept of it's potential hazards because those apply regardless if someone is gay, straight or otherwise, so no, it's not revisionism, it's content appropriate as the writing isn't to be skewed in any one direction unless that is specifically implied to relate the function of an article, which in this case it isn't. If you don't like it, fix it, that is the policy, not complaining, please see the wiki help page if you are confused.
