Doms don't wear gimp masks.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure that doms wear whatever they want.

[–] orrk 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

yes and no, things like gimp masks are "sub" attire because they outwardly signal submissiveness as by wearing it, you give up part of your personality (your face)

This is patently untrue. I participate in fear play, and frequently use masks in my play. My favorite is a full-face mirror that looks a bit like Cobra Commander's faceplate. Whole point is, the only thing my sub sees when they look at my face in a scene with that mask is their own face. I have a number of other masks, each with their own "flavor" that helps to set a headspace for that scene.

Each Top does their own thing. To assume masks are purely Bottom attire is pretty presumptuous.

Edit: I may have to use this as a costume idea for an upcoming play party. "Meatball Dom". I like it.

Oh dear, this sounds horrifying. Have fun.

I wasn't talking about all masks but gimp masks specifically, and yes I agree that things can have multiple uses/meanings based on context, but this is also somewhat of a uniform

So it's like skirts are for women and trousers are for men?

[–] orrk 2 points 1 year ago

well, if you view skirts as a form of gender expression maybe, but everyone wears trousers, think of it more like business attire, your cashier in a normal store is not going to be wearing a suit, but a banker is not going to come in to work wearing surfer boy lounge PJs, these things generally signal something

[–] surewhynotlem 2 points 1 year ago

Agreed. I'm looking at two types of meatball sub.

So...is that mean there's a dommarine?

[–] somethingsnappy 1 points 1 year ago

No, a meatball ship.

[–] SkybreakerEngineer 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, they are called the Emperor's Children

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure they do both. WE are the real doms

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Seeing that 'Dom' means stupid/dumb in Dutch, I think the recently imploded 'Titan' might fit the bill...
