| WHERE DO THEY GET WITH THIS CRAP???? | ||||||||||||||||
| You know, there are times when I think everyone in Scene is going stark, staring nuts.� It used to be pretty straight-forward.� You sort of knew what role you liked to play, you looked for a partner with similar interests, got out the rope and went to work.� But for some bizarre reason that just doesn't seem to be enough for some folks. | ||||||||||||||||
| Take for example the nonsense about top, dom, master, super master, mixmaster, bottom, sub, slave, switch, heavy switch, light switch etc..� You can be going along, reading your daily 450 pieces of e-mail, enjoying the gossip about what you did at the dungeon last weekend and how jealous everyone is of your great skill and then in the middle of all that happiness some purblind idiot will start a discussion about who is a sub, who is a slave and what, if anything, is the difference.� And of course people will start to get very upset about the whole thing and no one will think to ask the obvious question, "Who gives a damn and do we care about the opinions of anyone who is stupid enough to?" | ||||||||||||||||
| I mean, I'm a dom, sometimes a top, on rare occasions done the master bullshit and more often than not simply bored or tired, certainly too tired to care.� This label business serves to make some folks feel important probably because they have no other way to. | ||||||||||||||||
| Or another good one, you'll love this!� There are some folks out there who really do need their heads examined, who claim that they have been initiated into some Ancient and Mystikal Order of the Sacred BDSM (well, maybe the sacred part is due to the fact that their subs look like cows) and that the Order is based either in Japan or Europe (apparently there is no BDSM in any other parts of the world, I have yet to see one that claims to go back to Ivan the Terrible) and for some even more mysterious reason they have been given a sacred mission to transmit the teachings of the Order to the rest of the world. | ||||||||||||||||
| Yeah, right!!� And I'm the frigging Czar of All the Russias!� | ||||||||||||||||
| What kind of idiots do these clowns think we are?� Are they really so stupid or deluded as to expect anyone with half a brain to buy any of that baloney? | ||||||||||||||||
| For example, there is one well-known BDSM website run by people who at first glance seem to be perfectly rational and then they claim to have been initiated into the very exclusive and secretive Red Dragon Society in Japan which has supposedly been the repository of BDSM traditions going back to the time the Sun Goddess Amaterasu gave the Chrysanthemum to the First Emperor. | ||||||||||||||||
| Now, think about this.� You have a closed, totally ethnic society and this society is going to just pick a couple of westerners, in spite of their big noses and funny smell, off of the streets of TEXAS for god's sake, and bring them in and reveal to them the holy traditions of Japanese BDSM.� Of course they did, and Elvis took them to Mars on the flying saucer. | ||||||||||||||||
| Of course that isn't going to be the end of it.� They also claim that there is a bunch of BDSM councils in Europe that go back to the Roman Empire.� Obviously Caligula had to find a new job for his horse since the Senate was too boring. | ||||||||||||||||
| Of the making of fools there is no end, but why do we seem to get so damned many of them? | ||||||||||||||||
