i ment with "blindly following" as Never Questioning your Dominant.
Almost goes hand and hand with "blind faith" for those that are religious. Never questioning their faith, always knowing there's a good reason, no doubts, ect ect ect.
Hope i cleared up what blindly following ment as you were able to clear up mute/moot for me = )
we may question our Masters, just not their authority. the difference is subtle but important :)
"slave failure" is the safeguard for girls. a slave girl obeys, it comes with the job description. she might ask for clarification, to try to understand the motives behind it or give the dominant a chance to rethink (most intelligent dominants appreciate it if their slave manages to stop them making an ass of themselves :P), but at the end of the day, if she is a slave, she will obey.
if she finds herself, for whatever reason, unwilling to obey, and refuses, then she fails to be a slave in that situation - a slave obeys, ergo disobeying is not the act of a slave. she might succeed to be a human being, a parent, or just in having common sense. but she still fails as a slave.
the term is harsh and has it's own consequences deliberately. slave failure doesn't assign blame, or causes, or anything else, it simply defines the act. it isn't something that should be taken lightly. as the channel bot has within it's definitions file:
quote:
the concept of failed slave is the safeguard, that one way a girl has to get out of a dire situation. but it's deliberately harsh to prevent it being used casually - the situation should be dire enough to warrant it ... where failing to be slave is preferable to the consequences of being a slave.
a slave doesn't blindly follow, because in this society, she can always choose to disobey. the question is, which is more important to her? these are absolutely the sort of questions every girl should ask themselves before they beg that collar, because if they want to live it seriously, they have to understand the consequences, fully.
I remember the discussion in the channel. I also remember all the worst case scenarios that were being thrown out. the simple answer is: if you believe the dominant likely to put you in that position, giving you a worst case scenario order ... look elsewhere for a collar. saying "oh, I can't do that, I didn't know you'd order me to do that, it's all your fault" is no excuse ... it's just making excuses for your own lack of convictions . the old saying "he made me do it" doesn't actually apply, even for a slave .. she always has this option, at least within society as it stands now.
quote:
Like everyone says, you are responsible before you make the decision.
and responsible for accepting the consequences of having made it as well, perhaps? slave failure is the "out" for slave girls. just unfortunate too many prefer to place the blame elsewhere, rather than accept responsibility for refusing to exercise it. begging a collar doesn't absolve a girl from personal responsibility. this isn't the neo-BDSM Exit to Eden Fantasy Island where you end up painting someone's house. you beg a collar, take the title of slave, you'd better be ready to accept the consequences of it. you don't get to pick and choose what bits you don't like, afterwards.
