The cradle of wisdom

Something that I see quite often on this site is people overly relying on poster quotes. While a good quote isn't a bad thing, I can't really stand the "live, laugh and love" mentality of them. Especially when they're just plain wrong.

One of the things I see most often are things such as "you need to earn my submission" or "a good dom brings out the best in you" etc. And while I agree with those notions, I find it absolutely appalling to consider them to be the "one road" to whatever excellence they seem to ship.

What I mean by that, is that dominance isn't just defined by your definition of good or bad. A dom is a dom regardless of what you might think of him, if he illustrates dominant traits. For example, a dom does absolutely not need to "bring out the best in you" to be a good dom. He can just as well tear you down and break you. And you absolutely have situations where respect or "earned" submission means squat, where a dom takes hold of you whether you like it or not. Those things happen, and it's not some pretty little thing that you can twist around in your hand and look at whenever you seem to be feeling down.

I completely detest whenever someone makes something I stand for be portrayed in such a black or white image. Some of the best moments of my domineering has been when I have literally acted like a spoiled child, mentally just playing around with a sub and treating them as a toy. It is kind of like when you see kids catch a bug and then tearing off it's wings and watch it struggle in vain. They will giggle or snicker at this poor creatures worthless struggle to get away, even though they are fully aware that they've taken the one thing that allowed it to do so.

What does your frail "good or bad" imagery have to say to such a scene? Have you considered the fact, that a lot of doms are sadists who want nothing more than to see you in pain for their own childish amusement? "It'll be fun to watch you struggle", "I just wanted to see you in pain", "I want to break you" and so on. Don't tell me you've never heard or seen these things before.

Just because you're into the "caretaker" type of dom doesn't mean you suddenly get a monopoly on what is good taste. I certainly don't go portraying my ideal type of sub as the ideal type of sub for everyone, and I certainly don't pretend that I know everything there is to know about being submissive. There's a reason why I'm a dominant. I've experienced dominant traits and I found that it's a part of me. The only way you'll be able to get to know the other side well, is if you sit down and find someone to talk to about it. And even then, that's just one person's perspective.

This is a bit of an angry way to say something like "fuck your opinion and get a broader perspective" or "fuck your stupid quote pictures".
