Is Political Correctness affecting the bdsm community? The world at large?
As I read the threads here on Collarme I notice more and more those politically correct answers that have become the standard everywhere.
You know the ones I am talking about," I’m ok you’re ok; just play nice and everybody wins nobody loses; Johnny is not a pervert who eats his Master’s shit to get his rocks off he is a socially traumatized consumer of an unmentionable human digestive by product from his same gendered partner thereby gaining gratification in a degenerative fashion; you may call yourself a dom and just because your girlfriend whips your ass nightly does not mean you are a sub if you define yourself as a dom and that’s what that means to you then you are a dom and it’s ok.”
So I went looking for commentary from various sources on the subject. I posted no credits to any individual, the sources were too numerous. I will state for the record the following statements are not mine.
“Political correctness is what is killing our personalities and brain cells every second of every day. It's killing our rights to free speech, opinion, and thought. Political correctness causes a dramatic increase in every human being's sensitivity to name calling and in the long run will cause great psychological damage and communications break downs when said human finds out what the world is really like.”
“Political correctness used to be something that most people considered an annoyance, well-adjusted people anyway. Championed by a group of malcontent busybodies who were probably “traumatized” as children and who have developed a passion for sticking their noses into other people’s business, political correctness, in its infancy, was about gender pronouns, hyphenated nationalities and stereotypes that only the thin-skinned could possibly consider offensive. Alarmingly, this is not the case anymore”
“Political correctness equals the threat of censure or worse if one is not "tolerant" and "sensitive" to everything. PC makes reality, fiction, right, wrong, good and evil impossible to define or differentiate without being persecuted as intolerant.”
“Political correctness is literally a form of cultural Marxism. Where Marxism is an economic-political doctrine, political correctness is a cultural-political doctrine. They are both totalitarian. They are both dangerous.”
“PC and its mate "diversity" are attacks on our way of life under the guise of keeping people from being offended. They need to be offended and get over it; no one gets through life without a little offense handed to them”
“In conclusion, political correctness is the devil.”
What I am getting at is this; have we here in the bdsm community become so politically correct you cannot get a straight answer any more? Is PC now affecting our day to day vanilla lives as well? In my book it sure looks that way.
Come on, if your name is Johnny and you are eating shit from your Master’s ass to get off in reality you are a homosexual with a scat fetish.
If your girlfriend whips your ass you are a sub, a slave, a switch or a bottom. What you are not is a Dom. I really do not care how you feel about, how you define it does not mean a damn thing; if some one is whipping your ass you are not a Dom, period!
Winning does count, if you do not think so next time they hold the Superbowl go tell them not to keep score, everybody gets a trophy and we can all have fat free vanilla yogurt in our mini van on the way home.
You can call yourself a slave or subbie until the cows come home; if you only submit in the bedroom when and how you want, you are bottom or you simply enjoy kinky sex. What you are not is a slave or subbie, period.
So my question; Am I the only one who sees this? Does anybody agree with the quotes I found? Is political correctness making it damn near impossible to search for a lifestyle partner because everybody defines things the way they are comfortable with and everybody else is telling them it is ok to do so? Is it even affecting something so mundane as how we write a post it note for fear of offending someone?
Of course, it is. You tell someone that their views are racist and, though a whole bunch of people agree with you in their responses, you (and they) are wrong and just "don't get it".
Someone plays around on their partner without their knowledge and finds offense at a thread wherein other posters note that they would not meet and play with someone who is married but not telling their partner. These people are labeled "judgemental" as if that is always wrong. It isn't. People make judgements as to what is right and wrong every day and the fact that we enjoy WIITWD does not mean that we have to accept every thing that is a variant within it or, if we do accept it, does not mean that we can't still call it what it is...whether it is cheating, being a sissy, or anything else.
As has been said before, one man's poison is another man's pleasure. That doesn't mean that I can't call it poison and be wrong for doing so. If I think that you (generic) are an abusive, domineering asshole because you fit every conceivable definition, not just my own, of being an abusive, domineering asshole and not "just a strict dominant", then I am going to call it that way. I may do so in a tactful manner but not to the point of conceding that just because there is some lost, confused person (not submissive) who for whatever godly reason decides you are just what she needs that your point is proven.
But then, I've reached the point in my life where I'm tired of most bullshit.
