LordODiscipline -> RE: Protecting your submissive (1/20/2010 8:51:53 AM)

Let me just speak to and deal with the "Don Quiote Romanticized Bravado factor", rather than whether we "should care" what a stranger says:
I love the "I would expect the dominant to protect me" attitude.
A person with an attitude like this lives in a box and a world where drinking a potion will make them small
Look:
What would you do in ANY venue... name them:
1. NYC Bronx
2. East LA
3. Des Moines IA during the state fair
4. Standing on your stoop (wherever that is)
5. Beijing China
6. Bangkok, Thailand
6. Etc
What would you do if the person were:
1.White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, etc. (before anyone speaks to this negatively consider there are realized studies demonstrating there is a difference in how people behave in such a situation based on race despite any idealistic nonsense about "I would never!"
2. Tall, short, fat, skinny, bald, long hair, tattooed,etc.
3. Disheveled, dressed in a three piece suit, wearing jeans, wearing nothing, etc.
4. Carrying a club, carrying himself well, carrying a fire arm, carrying nothing except his long penis, carrying a dead body, carrying a grudge, carrying a discrete metal object, carrying a long brown paper package, etc.
5. Running toward you, standing there, running away form you, walking toward you with intent, standing in a position of defiance, standing in a puddle of pee, etc.
6. Smiling, frowning, smirking, laughing, with a knoing look, with a sullen look, with a scared look, with a quick glance, etc.
7. Said it at night, said it at 6AM, said it in the dark, said it in a well lit area, said it in front of strangers, said it quietly to you alone, said it to the heavens, whispered it to your submissive, etc.
You get the idea... different , time, situations, and places may demand different levels of response depending on whether there is a real threat being levied... and, then there is the attitude that there is always the 'potential' of a realized threat existing simply because the situation exists and this person has "dared" to comment.
Unless you are a law official it would be foolish to comment back (and, even then it is pretty speculative as to the outcome based in the fact that you (as an officer) can be held responsible for actions out of uniform
The fact is, unless there is an idiot on your leash who would fantasize that an aggressive act toward a stranger is the thing to do, creating the tension often lent to an escalating situation, there should be no impetus for any rational human to speak up and step up.
And, if you own someone who would expect you to step in front of a bullet to simply "protect them" (where there is no real threat existing and/or evident) then you have to ask the question "why do I have them in my life?"
There is reality and due amount of force - and, then there is the freaking internet romanticism of an unrealistic expectation that is as sure to fail the relationship as anything existing - and, unrequited and unrealistic expectations are the absolute death of relationships.
