This has been weighing on my mind heavily, and I really have to post about it. I can't sit on this any longer. Near the end of March I was fired as a director and also banned from Akaicon. I was given the following reasons:
"Those complaints range from alleged threats of sexual violence, expressions of a desire to rape, requesting sexual favors, attempts to damage interpersonal relationships of others for personal gain, boasts of illegal sexual deviancy, and I promise you, this list doesn't stop there."

I was told "If you make someone, or several someone's uncomfortable, or feel threatened, I have to act.
A perceived danger is as good as a real one in the public eye." by another director.

This really upsets me. Why? I am someone who has preached consent in the kink community for the last five years. I would NEVER knowingly violate someone's consent. Secondly, I have only even asked two people in the last two years point blank to have sex with me. Neither ended well, as they seemed offended by the directness. I never forced myself on anyone and I never threatened to force myself on anyone.
Attempting to damage interpersonal relationships...I'm pretty sure this is because someone asked me for some advice on their failing marriage.
Kinks are things people are into that might be a little different. You might be into whips and chains or roleplay or something. I happen to be into something called abduction roleplay. It's between CONSENSUAL adults. I would never kidnap someone, that is ILLEGAL. In fact, I rarely talk about this even on fetlife. Maybe I mentioned it someone, I don't remember. I thought it was 2016, and we were adults and we were allowed have various consensual interests.

"Boasts of illegal sexual deviancy" .... I'm pretty much chalking this up to the fact I'm on fetlife, and I openly admit that I'm kinky. This is the danger you run into openly talking about kink. I can't wrap my head around it any other way.

Finally, I identify as demisexual. I am largely uninterested in sex with ANYONE. Like, ever. I don't care about it. I'm uninterested in most things, honestly. I've been going through severe anhedonia for about a full year now.

Where did I go wrong? I thought we were adults. I thought it was OK to talk about things. I thought we could not judge each other based on our opinions or personal preferences. I was wrong. People on fetlife are good to want to keep their kink lives private, because shit like this DOES HAPPEN. People have lost custody battles and jobs over stuff like this. I thought I was invincible. I've been outed at my job, I've been outed everywhere. I never cared. But I cared about Akaicon. I felt like I had family for once, but I was wrong.
If you identify as kinkster, I highly recommend watching you back around akaicon staff and attendees. They will think you are a "liability" for being who you are.

For the record, I was told to keep the banning on the DL. I was told that if I didn't get any complaints that I could come back next year. I don't care. I care more about freedom and acceptance. If you are kinky, you are apparently a liability to this con.

That thread

I have to take issue with this. There is another director that openly admits to consent violations and such but he's cute and adorable and the 'token old dude alcoholic in a hello kitty kigurumi" and I'm just the creepy transgender girl who doesn't pass and comes off the wrong way.

http://m.neogaf.com/showpost.php?p=207576121

That "Akaicon" thing sounds lovely.

Edit:

I am largely uninterested in sex. However, there are two times in the last year that I can recall where I asked. And I only asked because I was suicidal, depressed, lonely, and wanting to feel something. I'm admitting that I asked twice, but largely I am not going around hitting on people or trying to hook up.

Saint-Simon always gets no respect in these histories of Socialism I find. Without him and Comte, where's Marx going to swipe democratically redistribute half his thesis from? I assume you disagree, Kara? No? Yes?

Saint-Simon is talked about in... The German Ideology I want to say?, so it would seem willfully ignorant of available evidence to say he had no influence on them (as well as being inconsistent with the position that humans are a product of their environment).

I can't recall seeing something with Comte mentioned by name, but it stretches my capacity for credulity to think that they never encountered his writing given that they were familiar with Saint-Simon.
