I agree about MDFS (presumably Male Dominant Female Submissive) as ideology is worse than problematic. It's putting a penny in the fusebox so far as abuse is concerned.

Is there a LessWrongian term for a self-sustaining blind spot?

Interesting point about to what extent fandom is a thing, or more generally, any diverse bunch of human social systems which are sort of under one name are a thing.

There ought to be one, given that there have been lots of posts about them like this one which are often mentioned.

(I'm being deliberately vague about whether by ought to I mean ‘is likely’ or ‘had better’. :-))
