ORIGINAL: MstrssScarlet I don't really think everyone is going to make the jump in their reasoning to the BDSM lifestyle just because he tied her up with rope and hit her with a belt. Could be wrong..... Yep. Sorry, but I think you are. Everyone who reads this story and is not deeply indoctrinated into the lifestyle is going to think of this guy and his brutality every time they hear the word "master" or see/hear of a woman being tied up. It's not about what WE know, it's about what the world knows, and what they can be made to understand. Guys like this make it a lot harder for normal BDSM lovers to be accepted or understood. --M I have to disagree. The BDSM lifestyle is a lot more mainstream than you seem to think that it is. Look at what Madonna has done. Look at the way punk kids dress on the streets. Prime time tv shows, magazines, Dr. Ruth, you name it - BDSM is out there, front and center. And like it or not, a lot of people just yawn whenever it is mentioned anymore. Anyone who doesn't know that most BDSM is consensual must be from outer space, or maybe they've been in a coma for the last 50 years. The bottom line is, people who see that story will know that this criminal doesn't represent anyone or anything other than himself.
