ORIGINAL: SimplyMichael
I was thinking about Gor today and why it gets so deeply under my skin and yet I am in other ways very tolerant of others kinks such as cuckholding, forced bisexuality, diaper play, and god knows what else.
Something we have in common, I should think.
quote:
I don't know if it is the combination of the holier than thou view Gorians hold of BDSM,
Many Goreans. And I'd say the converse has been amply demonstrated in the BDSM community, wouldn't you agree?
quote:
the assumption that anything manly, noble, brave, etc. is a trait reserved for Gorians,
It is clearly not. And several respected Goreans have said as much.
Some want to feel special, just like many in the BDSM community will pretend that kink is anything more special than "variant normal."
quote:
that they are obsessed with who is more real and argue about it online,
Okay, so there's a bunch of "twuism" there, too. Kind of like silly arguments between Catholics and Protestants.
The more sensible ones are interested in discussing philosophy, and couldn't care less whether others follow their version or not.
quote:
or the fact that every Gorian I have ever met is a fat overweight slob with more in common with Jabba the Hut than Conan the Barbarian.
Well, yeah, that'd make a crap impression. It doesn't seem to hold for e.g. Bull, Orion, Leonidas, etc.
Unbelievably, some who identify as Gorean will not take it seriously... what's with people these days... soon, British Protestants will go "Yeah, well, I'm a Christian, but I don't believe in God, Jesus, the Bible, or any of that other shit" ... oh wait... guess it's already so.
And even more unbelievably, even the ones who are hard-core quote-thumpers can't seem to invent a real counterpart to those damn stabilizer serums, so despite training and all that, some of the non-slobs can even end up with medical issues. No excuses, but until I win the fight to approve experimental treatment, lifting a barbell takes away my muscle, rather than restoring it. I imagine some have similar issues, although I quite realize there's a bunch of players in online chatrooms who fit the description for no other reason than being an even bigger slob than me. 
quote:
Granted, my exposure to Gorians is limited, one ran a local group and is responsible for much of the bad blood in my community, another now runs a munch for "newbies" so they can prey on the ignorant and vulnerable.
That would seem to explain it, wouldn't it?
quote:
Take CM for instance, you can read in the Gorian section about how fake, weak, or insert your favorite pejorative us perverts are but as brave and manly as they are, they only insult us from their protected playground. I don't know, perhaps that is what most pisses me off.
That pisses me off when it happens too. And I'm not the only one. Sometimes I ignore trolls, though. Don't you?
quote:
Henceforth, I am going to do my best to consider Gor just another kink I don't get and am not interested in. However, my offer to sword fight any Gorian still stands unanswered.
Why would I want to sword fight you? I've got no quarrel with you, and you'd prolly kill me. 
Health,
al-Aswad.
Edited 'cuz this Gorean slob can only spell "quote" correctly a certain number of times in a post.
