ORIGINAL: LuckyAlbatross LOL the symbol is a triskellion and is a lot more ancient than the Story of O. Do some research. Absolutely, though I'm not sure when the Story of O really was first written. Every copy I've seen of it had several endings, and the movie was made with modern adaptations, while there are some written versions that took place in the time of the Victorian era. As for the age of the Triskellion, I'm not sure, I haven't researched that. quote:
ORIGINAL: LuckyAlbatross It was converted by some net person and taken up by a lot of people. That I'm not so sure about. There's evidence (though I'm not sure how empirical, it just seems this way to me, being a kinkster myself) that one of the writers for the original Star Trek (yeah, yeah, sue me) was a kinkster themselves, as there was an episode that had to do with slaves, gladiatorial fighting, leather outfits, and skimpy at that, etc. and this was happening on a planet called... Ironically... "Treskellis" and the symbol of the Triskellion was prominent in this episode. This episode took place sometime in the '60's... Long before the net was lkely ever a concept. I mean, this was when people like the head of IBM was quoted as saying "The market for a home based computer might amount to three people." LOL... Of course, the concept of the net might have popped up before computers really took hold, seeing as they had network communications between colleges in the late '70's and early 80's, and it was a secure form of military communications, using IRC servers, well before the public ever latched onto it. Anyway, the Triskellion has been a symbol of something "alternative for quite a lot longer than some net-geeks adaptation of the symbol, so far as I can tell. quote:
ORIGINAL: LuckyAlbatross Personally, I don't use the symbol at all, I much prefer the leather pride flag. Personally, I don't even have something in my memory for knowing what that looks like. I probably haven't ever seen it. Or, I'm just suffering from CRS, one or the other. But I like the way the Triskellion looks... It reminds me of a Buddhist symbol... It also has a circular flow that's appealing and it tends to evoke a feeling of balance, not unlike a Yin Yang... As an aside, suspension rings patterned after it are a lot stronger than just a ring. Everyone else has pretty much said anything I could or would have said about the OP, so there's no point in that now. Peace. ref to darpa
