Cool. A grudge thread. I guess the other one got too heated for you.
Rather than look at this entirely from a perspective on what happens on message boards, let's mix it in with a generation Z perspective as it relates to BDSM. Generation Z BDSM (not those necessarily born in generation Z) folks could be related to those who have always relied on the internet to have every answer afforded to them with a few keystrokes. Like is supposed to be one of the drawbacks as generation Z folks get older, they are so used to every answer being delivered to them, they don't especially have the drive to seek out other methods. This is a bit different than is theorized about generation Y, who also had the influence of the internet, but are also familiar with researching their queries by other means. Generation Y folks are more the type to use the internet as one source of information, but not the only source, while generation Z would be more the type to be lost without it's one and only source.
One other thing that seems to apply between the theory of real life generation Z folks and what could be termed as generation Z BDSM folks is that the Z types are less likely to have good interpersonal skills in face to face interactions. The phenominon of the anonymity of the internet is believed to contribute to this factor. With the way the two threads have turned out, I tend to think this could be correct, as many folks who have come to BDSM in a generation Z fashion have little use for munches or other social situations.
