Can any human domestication guide fans confirm whether this is accurate?

    Hey, I’ll have you know fetish fanfics and community writing projects can be amazing. Look at SCP’s Antimemetics Division, or… um… well I want to give an example of the former but I don’t want to make my kink list known to lemmy…

    But anyway, if HDG writers can spend 10 hours worldbuilding a feminine plant penis but draw the line at portraying the character doing her job… well I’m afraid the transbians have re-invented misogyny. Fetishising a character whose internal world you refuse to explore is what men have been doing to women for the past 3000 years. We’re just reducing dominant women to sex objects instead of all women this time.

      Don’t forget they recreated benevolent colonial slave owners too, and made themselves the slaves. The white transfems. It’s almost hilarious how pathetically clueless it is

        I would think if I were a sub, I would want dommes in my community writing hot stories for me. Subs need doms. They should try to welcome dommes into the community.

        Subs who hate politics writing domme characters who are only ever portrayed interacting with their subs is… well I can’t possibly believe how that would actually be a gratifying story. In my experience, sex is way more fun when your partner enjoys it too.

          As a sub, the thing you need to understand is that a lot of subs are bad at it. It’s easy to give power up to some theoretical person who will do whatever you fantasize about without any of the guilt of asking for it or reciprocating what they want.

          Including dommes introduces room for conflict, it introduces room for failure on both parts, it introduces room for you to feel bad that some of what you want is effort for your partner and that your partner may want some stuff that you may not necessarily want. It’s vulnerability.

          The “do-me sub” is a perennial complaint in actual kink communities. They drive off dommes, especially dominant women who aren’t as comfortable saying no (and some don’t bother listening to nos). They often come from online fantasy spaces filled with kink from exclusively submissive perspectives and they often make femdom spaces uncomfortable.

          If anything though, the existence of a rule means there was a perceived need for one. Often online kinks like this have no such rule because nobody has burst their bubbles by telling stories about dommes dealing with illness or workplace discrimination or being harassed by the cops and how that would impact a d/s dynamic. No they’re little worlds of minor kings and queens, escapist fantasies in which every dominant is perfectly in control and perfectly in tune with their sub. This rule means that the target audience saw this and wanted to tell stories of politics, of the struggles of aliens attempting to keep an extremely high maintenance pet happy, but unwilling to consider freeing it.
