Fuck yeah!

And for the record, I honestly don't care how much someone swears or what they misspell or where the commas go. I'm not fussy about my own grammar and I'm not fussy about others. For me it's all about content.

----------------------

As a general reply to this thread, one of the things I have learned from my forays into BDSM-land is that any time you try to say "All XXX are YYY" you come up short. Sure has heck someone like me is going to pop up and say "Not so much for me." It's a very diverse group of people. Heck, I'd be willing to bet that if I said, "All BSDM people are human" someone, somewhere would pop up with a rebuttal to that (furry, pet play, something).

The whole thing about fetishists though is interesting to me. Here in my new home in British Columbia that term is much more accepted than what I was used to in the states. It's not "lesser than" to be a fetishist so people openly state what they are into and they don't get ragged on for it. The interesting side effect is that clearly demonstrates the non-fetishists... of which Carol and I are hardly unique. I think we may be the least kinky couple we know involved in the local scene but there's at least one close contender and several that are similar.

If someone walked into a room here and said, "You're all fetishists" I'm pretty sure someone would pop up and say, "Oh no. Bob and Mary over there are fetishists and there's a few folks in the corner who are. You should check out their fetlife profiles! Would you like me to introduce you to them? But I'm a XXX and Tim and Bob here are YYY and..."

This old chestnut besides being fuckin rancid, is wholly untrue, since I swear any goddamn time I want to and don't give a fuck, and it is not some matter of velleity with me, but this buncombe is repeated, and I will mordantly deride this codswallow, whenever it is espoused.

"Codswallow" has always been one of My favorite insults.

Of course it would, since I have explained that I have read it and can find nothing that rings any bells so for my edification it would be really useful to see how others are interpreting words. Since that is also a theme within the thread that has been highlighted.


You wrote, "Using swear words to express oneself shows a very low level of self control and a distinct lack of linguistic knowledge."

That was written in response to someone who used WTF (which, of course, means what the Fet?)

Then you wrote this, "it is a charter to do whatever the fuck you like either with yourself or others, because Goody Goddy has already mapped out your life down to the minutest detail."

So, you are either lacking in self-control and have a distinct lack of linguistic knowledge or you're a hypocrite.

That's my take away from reading your posts.

I, myself, am a lover of the word fuck and use it often. (You will see it in my profile and, as an example, this post which is just chock full of swear words but also pretty damn funny and there may even be a grain or three of truth in it but I would let others determine whether or not such is the case.

Oh, and the 4 x's.. for my fellow forum posters - in the South that equals moonshine.

Drinks all around!

Wonderfully disingenuous, my compliments.

Early on in THIS thread I said:

quote:

Context defines the use of concepts


You take a comment aimed at an one poster by another poster who had prefixed it with critical personal comments in THIS thread and link it with a comment expressing strong distaste at the thought of a CHARTER which is encouraging rapists to plead that some god was responsible, in ANOTHER forum

Firstly fuck was appropriate use, note the rape connection and secondly you come up with a better linguistic combination which expresses the disgust I feel.

So context, which in this case it the difference between a person and an object, and sweet fanny adams to do with hypocrisy.

Just you trying to score points, which kind of reeks of hypocrisy.

So total control over the linguistics, and I also have a love of the word fuck, however not when it is said in a negative way at me, which I imagine is how you feel also.

So which dish did you choose for your take away from my posts? Did you miss out all the other posts as well?

So on this site, xxxx was a sign they used at railroad to mean there was a crossed signal and to warn the trains.

It now means crossed signals when people don't communicate well.

For some reason this sounds very apropos.

And here are more meanings.

Wonderful. They were obviously inspired a little bit by the amber liquid, not that I ever drank it.

Crossed signals, while very relevant didn't quite do it for me, nice association though.

I post a positive, reasonable reply and you come back with a negative, or were you being friendly when you said it doesn't have to do anything for me?

The crossed signals link only showed xxxx to disguise the name of a place hence my comment and an appreciation of your association. I take it back (the appreciation), it was obviously a contrived attempt to criticise me. Welcome to the herd.

Guess that makes you the pin up girl.

Spot on. You certainly wouldn't say:

I don't like your taste in partner.
Speak proper English.
You must be a bigot for wearing a "Rock on Atheists" badge.


That would be oh so shallow. LOL

I'm going to try this one last time. Yes, I'm already aware that you will be insulting and condescending.

"I don't like your taste in partner." So because of the new fangled way, your partner should be chosen for you.

"Speak proper English." Because if you do not accept the "new way" thinking, you shall be criticized because of not accepting the new "hip" definitions.

"You must be a bigot for wearing a "Rock on Atheists" badge." And while we're at it, let's force you to wear this badge. Since a certain person is sitting at the desk, they get to label you when you come in.

For what it's worth, (and to you, I'm sure it means nothing) I do draw the line in the proverbial sand. There really are things that I don't cross. I have My beliefs, to be sure, but I don't shove them down the throats of others. I've got very rigid opinions on that "Master" label. I know what it's like to be amongst folks who earn leather and who don't take that title without it. See, it means something to us. Granted, it was a hard lesson to learn, but I do My best not to infringe on others now.

Considering all of the talks that I've had with folks from across the pond, I still wonder if certain people are just callous or does the attitude come up because you have no connection with history? There are so few over there that consider leather a culture. That's why it's an insult. Not that you care. Some are the type of folk who would go into the Synagogue to boast of the New Testament.

I typed up a few things at this junction about the spirit of leather. It's wasted here. All I can say is that, as a leather PERSON, I know that if we do not know where we come from, we can not entirely know who we are, or where we are going as a community.

I sincerely do wish you well.

OP: If you don't like negativity, why do you toss it around so freely? Something to consider.

To address your original topic, what fetishism is: the term has evolved since its inception. This gives rise to multiple meanings, and while it is possible to latch onto one and call it "the" definition, the history of the word is also worth bearing in mind.

This link addresses the word's etymology, and also draws a distinction between fetish and fetishism (thereafter described here). While neither of these definitions are complete, they both demonstrate the different ways in which the term may be correctly applied. If you use the term in one manner, that's perfectly fine; and if someone else uses a different context they may also be correct.

The English language is beautifully ugly.

I have never said I don't like "negativity". In fact one it can be a very positive power at times. Pointing out a fact, and using other people's concepts and words to reply and stating further facts is a very positive process as far as I am concerned. I hope that clears up that particular point.

Thanks for the link which adds further weight to the many definitions I have already quoted, and I agree entirely that the Etymology of words is relevant to any discussion of their meaning and English is such an evolving language in terms of concepts , due to all the many cultures, cultural behaviour and locations, that words have multiple concepts and interpretations for people. The emotional aspects of individuaL words also play a major role as we have seen clearly in this thread, "fellow" and "fets" having a very positive feeling for me but massive negative for others.

I found it interesting that in your link there was a distinction between 'fetish' and 'fetishism', with 'fetishim' being connected to the sexual aspect since this is now included in the modern definitions of "fetish".

Personally I find the English language beautifully beautiful!!

According to most learners it is a remarkably easy language to learn.

It's even funnier that you didn't mention it in your first reply.

I got it and chose to ignore it, so you must have jumped to a fabulously irrational conclusion.

What's it like to be a snark?

Yes, welcome and good luck.

Some profile advice? Don't mind if I do.

I ponder these questions, and I think you should too:
- Why is "slim" the very first descriptor used? Why is it mentioned twice? Are these people that shallow? What do they mean by slim? Is this the only body or health issue important to them? For people so interested in a "slim" submissive, why has neither one of them stated their own weight?
- Why is the grammar so poor in this profile?
- WTF is with liking Buddhism and Christianity; tolerating Agnosticism, Catholicism, Hinduism, and Taoism; disliking Judaism and Mormonism; and hard limiting Islam, Kabbalah, Scientology, and Wicca?


Good luck indeed.

Short answer is they are likely southern, possibly baptist hypocrits that want a 3rd in their household young enough to pass off as a niece, pretty enough to give the insecure dom the power trip of "I f*k the hottie you're drooling over" & only someone as narrow minded as they are can fit through the door!!
Take it as a compliment that they showed everyone they are narcissistic & narrow minded wankers without wasting our time making us guess!!
