Mustardseed -> RE: What do you find most irritating in the "Online BDSM Community" (3/1/2007 7:09:34 AM)
|
- People who assign me a role without getting my consent first. If I haven't consented to play either the domme or the sub with someone, either online or in real life, and I get pushed into that role I feel rather put off.
- People who look at a picture and maybe a tagline, but not the entire profile. Cripes, would it kill some folks to at least run a brief search on page to figure out where their targets put "cybering" on their checklists, or to find out if the person is already partnered and no longer looking?
- Poor spelling and grammar. All I ask is that people who contact me at least try to match my quality of writing. I'm not attempting for a final draft of a masterpiece here -- I misspell words and make typos all the time. But at least considering one's audience before sending a message would be nice.
- People who write stuff like *cries* during a post or email message. That one just runs straight up my spine, especially if it's an otherwise serious, emotional statement they're writing. I stop taking them seriously and from then on in become convinced that they're main focus is manipulation rather than catharsis.
- People who contact me on CM's email site and then suddenly want to take conversation to some other venue.
- People who decide that just because a man enjoys prostate stimulation, that he can't be dominant. If he wants it from his sub, then he's trying to turn his sub into a switch or a dominant. If he wants it from another dom, then he's obviously a submissive who won't admit it. I'd say that a dominant who goes about getting what they want as they can is proving that they're dominant because they're not letting other people's snide remarks shape their sexuality.
