Except... they weren't scening. That's been explicitly stated - "http://ravan.dreamwidth.org/539471.html?thread=1246031#cmt1246031">A and B did not have a D/s dynamic and there was no "scene" or other context in which no wouldn't mean no."</a>

Not to single you out, you're just the comment I got to when I finally got to "Argggghhh", but that's been bugging me a lot - someone said it was about kink, and then that got picked up and reposted everywhere. I know people are *defending* kink, but there's still the idea that this happened because of kink.

BDSM had nothing to do with it. It has to do with why Jack can't go to the cops, but nothing to do with the actual rape itself.
