This conversation has gotten way too deep for me. lol You make a lot of valid points. I may be a history buff and can tell you stuff that happened many many moons ago but I was never on the debate team. Being a black female, I can honestly admit I've benefited from feminism.While I wouldn't call the word sissy good, I was 100% talking about the word beta. As I stated in that initial comment, the entire concept of alpha and beta is unscientific nonsense. It comes from 1 man's flawed observation of wolf behavior. Said man has recanted the idea publicly. So, when human men apply the terms to humans, they're already making a jump in applying a false dichotomy, but it's a false dichotomy based on a false premise.
This word is a part of the Manosphere's language. The Manoshphere, from incels, to basic red-pilled douchenozzles, to the assholes who believe themselves to be "Alpha", and finally to the worst part of all, the death cult level black-pilled people, are clearly, by the actual definitions provided by the essay Ur Fascism, fascists. Repeating their rhetoric, even if one doesn't realize or intend is harmful. I am not saying that you are a fascist, hell, I'm not even saying that either of the others picked up in the comment are fascists. I fully acknowledge that it is a tactic of the far right to create catchy ideas that filter down into the general populace who use them uncritically. My comment's purpose was to get you to think critically about how the language might affect people.
Coming back to sissy, as a sadist myself, I fully acknowledge the value in humiliation play, and that calling a male masochist a sissy is a part of that. I do not have a problem with that word in that context. I didn't really have a problem with your question. You might actually like the patron reward scene that Spawn is finishing up and should be ready before the official free release of the game, because it does kinda put him in such a position, maybe not the way you're hoping for this time, but in a way.
Like I said before, you ended up in the comment merely for the use of the word the brunt of the comment was not aimed at you. If your intent was not ill then I apologize for making you feel personally attacked, I simply want to have positive conversations about this game and it's content, and feel that is difficult to do in an environment where the very premise feels under attack.
That's a horrible story, and not one I or any real feminist would agree with. If you play my other game, I've already begun to paint a group of radfems, the type of people who think all sex is rape, as villains. So you and I would be in agreement that this type of eugenic behavior is nothing short of fascism. I do not think women should be above men, I don't think I should have to say that, but clearly you had 1 bad experience with feminism and seem to have used that to draw inaccurate conclusions about me based on my language.
To expand on some of the ridiculousness that Robert brought up, I know science is clear that gender is not binary, it is bimodal. This means that there is a spectrum. And anyone who thinks gender is just about the flip of a switch on someone's SRY gene (which all it does is determine penis or no penis) is a silly person who ignores reality. So, aborting all babies that would be assigned male at birth would only eliminate the men that are born with the SRY gene flipped, and wouldn't kill all men. Furthermore, I know that women are just as capable, though admittedly less likely, of committing rape. A dear friend of my family suffered sexual assaults from her female babysitter. So yes, as Robert said, it's illogical on so many levels.
I only quoted this to clear up a slight misunderstanding. Battling toxic masculinity is certainly a part of feminism, and sissy used in a non-sexual context is certainly a part of toxic masculinity. I fully acknowledge though, as I said above, the use was intended as bdsm humiliation language and not as a slur. BDSM can blur lines and make people uncomfortable, however, as long as there is informed enthusiastic consent between both parties I not only take no issue with it, but personally participate. I do still stay away from beta though, because I consider it to be a fascist slur.
Once you "go down the rabbit hole" of seeing how feminism is affecting everything around you, it was a real eye opener. From affirmative action, gender/race quotas, the duluth model, #metoo: guilty until proven innocent, family courts being biased against men, men getting longer sentences than women for the same crime are just to name a few. I won't even mention the rights we have that men don't, I'm sure you get the point.
But back on point. I think the reason I enjoy femdom is because I'm really a submissive irl and my husband is an alpha. So nothing goes in his ass. So I find myself fantasizing about dominating men and doing really really perverted things to them.
I guess creating a game is a nice way to express yourself or is it called venting? If I had the talent I would too. lol
