    Yeah, I said it was a different subculture… Then the dude was like no it’s not… Then I was like yeah, not bdsm in general, a subculture… Hope you’re caught up now buddy

    Sorry not usually this much of a dick but I lose patience with those with people who won’t read

    Oh BDSM in general isn’t like that, sure, but I’m in a submissive focused discord and there are many people there who have lifestyle dynamics similar to the one in the post. Like yeah the poster doesn’t know what they’re talking about but those kinds of dynamics certainly do exist. They’re not something I’m comfortable with, self discipline has to come from the self and to me having discipline for life things like that come from your partner enforcing that on you feels like a crutch that I’m not ok with personally, but ykinmk and all that.

    It’s honestly kind of interesting to me, I think dynamics fall onto a spectrum of being controlled to being taken care of. I mean that in a general sense, not specific things like aftercare. Like yes caring for and about your partner is an important part of any relationship but that end of the spectrum falls more under parental care in my mind. I’m certainly no expert, lifestyle dynamics aren’t for me, but I like lurking and observing because I think it’s neat.




  • Transfem here, generally unless the topic being discussed is gender specific users genders aren’t relevant. Though, Lemmy has a pretty bad track record with gender relations imo, the whole women choosing the bear thing was such a shit show. The men’s lib community is good though, I’ve interacted with a couple posts there that popped up on my feed while scrolling and it actually consists of users who are empathetic and understanding and not anti-women like the reddit one turned into. It’s interesting, Lemmy has many many more male users than female, and it goes a bit further, with the ratio of transmascs to transfems being reversed. I just think it’s interesting that it’s an amab/afab split rather than a gender split. As someone in the thread trans-hatingly put it, “even the women are men here.”
