Dialectical materialist sub reminds me of myself and my self-written smut to be honest. Really, I do think that it would do a lot of people a lot of good to think more critically about and analyze their sexual preferences through that lens!
The problem with reading theory is that so little of it is delivered via monster-fucker literary smut agitprop.
We're going to get so much mileage out of this one.
Alas, it's only an unofficial emoji, but I did formally propose it as a proper emoji after making this comment: https://hexbear.net/post/8791080
You can turn any inline picture into an emoji by putting the word "emoji" in the alt text.
oh, I see, I thought it had become an official emoji and that's why you were using it.
it's fun to make emojis by just doing it

You're right, but liberal framing around issues like these is surprisingly similar to what is here written as the reactionary framing (I would argue that outside of the teleology in the first sentence, it's more accurate to the liberal framing and the reactionary one would be moralizing about the "sin" of choosing to be a sub), and it's just sort of been perpetuated because it's so ubiquitous in advocacy. Many people are thereby inclined (I guess ultimately because of legal precedent) to say that something is fine because it's part of the person's inherent nature and therefore defend things as being inherent, rather than just saying that it's fine whether it is inherent or not as long as it isn't hurting anyone.
