The first really isn't relevant. It may be true but the modern-ness of the Civil War has what to do with the trope?

The second really should be worked into the sentence itself; it's hiding the relevant part behind a note which changes the meaning of the sentence 180 degrees. That's pure conversation in the main page. At the very least the non-note part of the sentence needs to address the inaccuracy and the note can clarify it.

^ So something like this would be more acceptable?

It is also often inaccurately conflated to BDSM, but since the cardinal rule of BDSM play is Safe, Sane, and Consensual, having no power over what someone tells you to do fails the first and third tenet, and any form of Mind Manipulation would also fail the second.

Yeah, that makes a lot more sense.

I'll wait for others to weigh in before I make any changes.

I already P Med them with a link to this query.

I think that paragraph could use a rewrite to incorporate the notes directly into it without having to be clicked to view them. Not defending Discar here (what they did is still wrong and against policy), but I do understand how anyone would view these notes as Natter since they look disjointed from the rest of the paragraph.

I agree with the removal of the first note, and I'd tweak that inclusion of the second thusly:

It is also often inaccurately conflated to BDSM; the cardinal rule of BDSM play is Safe, Sane, and Consensual, so having no power over what someone tells you to do fails the first and third tenet, and any form of Mind Manipulation would also fail the second.

Edited as per Wilbyr's suggestion.
