ORIGINAL: NihilusZero Every time you talk to someone you've never met before you are including them in a dynamic. By virtue of going out in public, people EXPECT to have to "talk" to others... they do NOT, however, expect to be subject someone else's kink... and referring to one and other as "Master" and "slave" to others outside a power dynamic is doing so without their CONSENT to be included. Play as many games as you like, but nobody in this dynamic has the right to shove this off anyone who hasn't consented, as many would find it offensive in the extreme. Dude. You know there are people who think marriage is an awful patriarchal institution that has enslaved women for millenia and blah blah blah, the point is, do you think it's inappropriate to call your wife your wife, just cuz they don't do what you do? There are likely over a hundred childfree groups on the internet, do you think it's inappropriate to call your son your son just cuz they don't do what you do? I think what you're missing is that for someone like Orion, being called Master isn't his kink. It's his relationship role. Just like husband, wife, girlfriend, fiancee, etc, it's his role in the relationship. He's not amira's husband, he's not amira's boyfriend, he's not amira's girlfriend, he's not amira's wife...he is her Master. How would you feel if, say, you had a wife, and every time you went out with her you had to call her your mistress (as in the affair type of mistress) - just so not to offend your bachelor friends. I'm guessing you'd be like "screw you, she's my wife." Why should amira call Orion something he's not? Now I admit, I'm hung up on the "saying it in front of kids" bit, but as far as adults go, what's the problem. You seem to be arguing this in principle, rather than in real life consequence, so I'll ask, how do you think it hurts an adult person to hear the word "Master?" Regardless of whether they *react* negatively, do you think it will actually *affect* them negatively?
