RP In Areas Not Designated For That Sort of Thing...

Damn!

And I thought it was my long hair that was confusing them...

.d

I must admit that I have yet to encounter any who have addressed me in such a dismissive and insolent fashion.

Mind you, the terminology used by some jumped-up little twit is not really something I would take terribly seriously.

Yes. I remember my Sister in Law's decision to leave her profession totally and become a fulltime Mom. Some of her colleagues where aghast that she was setting back "the movement" to cook, clean and do laundry while raising hr kids. She asked her friends how they did it and they all said they had maids and nannies. I guess those girls weren't part of "the movement".

They actually have Cee-Ment tracks now. I know. I seen't one.

Oh, I have a happy memory of a Gorean "master" in SL ordering me to do some RL work for him, and when I (very politely given the circumstances and the temptation to smack him in the face) declined, he just deflated totally like a punctured balloon.

Not sure if I mentioned this, but I meant role-playing that non-consensual stuff. It wasn't non-consensual, they were just role-playing it. Heck Trout, just look at your own group memberships to try to figure the difference out You know, the one involving a baby goat?

/me nods but refrains from elaborating.

Yes, I know, but she wasn't even doing it properly. She was clothed, she seemed to be on the verge of giggling, and seemed to keep making asides to the audience (oh poor me). I might have had a different opinion if she had at least been doing it right.

LOL, I know you know, but others reading the thread might not have, er, known.

Hey, they were having fun, so good for them, however bad they were.

I hate to get into this (oh, what the hell, I love it), but I have a couple of comments.

First, there's different types of punishments. Play punishments, which basically RP an excuse to do what people want to do anyway, and "real" punishments, where there is an intended lesson being taught.

Understand that the context of the later is one of lifestylers, where the participants don't view their actions as a "game". The dominant knows the submissive intimately (their mind, I mean), and tailors the punishment to have a psychological effect, to drive the lesson home. Well, the good ones do, anyway.

And for the former, it doesn't need to be that clever or original for the participants to have a ton of fun.

What this guy was doing, dunno.

My last thought is, you might make a lousy slave, and probably an even more lousy Master, but you could probably consult.

Last comment: I should have started this thread on a Friday...

Consultant? Hate - I like you. You just gave me my latest get rich in SL scheme. BDSM and Dom/Sub Consultant. I could even do couples counselling on the side. I could have a couch for the dom and a nice pillow for the Sub to kneel on. We could work through their problems over a nice cup of tea.

And I wouldn't be purposely lousy as a slave or a master. I just don't have the attention span. I honestly try to do a good job of RP'ing when I do it, but I just can't keep on task. I swear I have some kind of adult onset ADD. My mind wanders and the next thing I know, the whole RP has gone totally sideways and everyone is mad at me.

lol -

Victim: Oh Help! I'm being attacked!
Lexxi: Yawn
Victim: Ahh! He's hurting me!
Lexxi:...Sigh...
Victim: Oh My God! He's going to rape me!
Lexxi: SHUT UP! You're doing it all wrong!

Lexxi: Your clothes . . *shakes head* a weird pink top and bottom? wear a skirt, a ripped skirt, and a ripped shirt . . dang it
Victim: NOOO (oh poor me, heh) NOOOO
Lexxi: STOP THE ASIDES!


Heh

I tried following this post, I really did, but my mind started to wander.

I must have adult onset ADD or something. Hmm I wonder if anyone ever came up with that concept before?

For those concerned about consensual non-consensual sex in SL -
How to know when they're doing it right:

Victim: Oh please don't attack me!
Victim: Oh please don't attack!
Victim: Oh please don't!
Victim: Oh, please!
Victim: Oh!

This was a public service announcement for the overly concerned.

You know what Hate? This is a very good point. Thank you. I guess the whole purpose of the feminist movement was to make it possible for a woman to have the freedom to choose whatever she wants for her own life - even if it is submitting to another person.

I was told once by a friend who is a submissive in RL that she is the one who actually has the "power" so to speak, because she is the one who chose the relationship. I didn't get it then either.

I don't know. Maybe it's because I was raised in a family of amazon warrior women types who taught me that the most important thing was for a woman to be independent, strong and self sufficient. I guess that's why the whole slave thing doesn't compute for me. The women in my family would die before being submissive to a man. So I guess I'm a product of my environment. *shrug*

So, I may not 'get it', but I don't have to. There are many ways to live and I respect the choices others make.

You keep a woman as a slave and you want to tell others how to do feminism right?

But anyway, most people in SL will either not mind public slaveplay or not say anything, because we're told there's no harm in it and no one wants to judge as much as Goreans judge others. Even I usually don't say anything, just I have an instant negative appraisal of those involved because "omgwtfbbq?" Course, I could myself be rp'ing at that point, in which case my "character" is duty-bound to say something. (What, I can't RP an abolitionist?)

I was in Gor just the other day for a while. They wanted to kick me out for not wearing enough clothes. LOL, hypocrisy!

Hey, I just pointed out a contradition in the reasoning. I have no SL slave.

Oops, my bad.

Hey, only because I wouldn't be able to dedicate the time I feel she would deserve.

Hmm I guess I mean overly non-consensual realistic as in I suspected the perpetrator was one who was like that in RL, like playing out a wife beating type rape or something similar, yes I guess the victim could just TP out any time, but I wouldn't enjoy observing it at all, and would have to leave or do something. I guess an IM to the victim would satisfy me they were happy with things. Sure rapeplay is fun, when it's dramatised and far fetched from reality. But if the victim is happy, then I should probably just STFU and leave them to it.

"Excuse me mate you seem to be having some quality RP with this Lady can I join in?"
"This is my RP police badge and tazer" <tazers the fellon>
"These are police cuffs, put them on and we will go RP a court scene folowed by sitting in a small cage for a few years with a bot called bubba"

Yet another friggin bdsm/gor thread rehashing the same old, same old. Tho I found amusement in one post. The woman who decided kneeling for a job interview was a good idea. If her 'owner' tells her that she has to kneel for job interviews, than her owner is an idiot. When dealing with the 'outside' world, you dont go flaunting your kinks if you expect to get ahead. McDonalds wouldnt hire this girl. Sometimes the control freaks go too far. Their inflexibility is a demonstration of their own weakness. Those who feel the need to be in control are a real pain in the ass to those of us who simply...ARE

I am big on 'live and let live'.

However, I can not deny that sometimes SL roleplay can be a little annoying - in some circumstances.

The gripe I have is when people contact me about BUSINESS matters. For example, asking me to make something for them, or with enquiries about a product. In those circumstances, when they are speaking in IM to me, and only me, I find it really annoying if they are using third person subbie-speak or (far far worse) baby talk.

I am not being something-ist. I have absolutely nothing against people using SL to explore whatever aspects of themselves they wish to explore - good luck to them. But if they want someone to help them, then what logic is there in something like...

'Hewo Egyyfu. Me wont to buy a biggie wiggie castle from oo peeze. Can oo tell me if oo can make da castle all purty and pink for me? Me pay oo extra. Tank oo and cuggles'

And yes - that was a REAL IM I received. Once my son and I had stopped laughing, I just replied 'sorry, I can only undertake business with adults. I am sorry.' The 'child' replied 'Me is 47in mes real life. Me is 6 here. Would oo like me to ask my mummy to ask oo if oo can help me peez?'

Er, no.

Continuing roleplay in non-roleplay areas is fine. Just don't be surprised if, when coming to one of the (very much non-slave-owning) areas I'm involved in, the slaves are told they are free, encouraged to seek liberation and employment, and the slave owners are chastised and told their money is not welcome there. Gotta tolerate my roleplay, y'know.

Toleration of roleplay only goes so far, I don't care if it makes me the big bad wolf to say it.
