I have noticed that there are vegans into bdsm, but no special forum
for those people. Now there is:


http://groups.yahoo.com/group/veganbdsm/

Everyone is welcome but meatards, phobes, spammers, children or people
who act like children.

Not surprising given that both are signs of mental illness or severe
character defect. Veganism is an eating disorder. Bondage and
sadomasochism are paraphilias.

Show me with the ISDM calls veganism a mental illness, or even a sign of it.

DSM, twit.

It's included in DSM-IV as an eating disorder "not otherwise specified"
(or NOS). The NOS category includes other disorders which don't fit the
definitions of the more commonly associated disorders like bulimia and
anorexia. Dr Bratman's work on orthorexia, which veganism does fit, has
set the ball rolling for eventual inclusion into DSM.
