@Mollena my last tweet was in response to your “another reason to fuck Geminis”, just so you know.

Yay! Welcome back, Amy

I’m gonna have to remember these responses the next time someone gets in my face about the play I do.

I am so fine with people having opinions. Even expressing them to me. Even strongly. But the condemnation and pain of rejection and being ostracized, those I can live without!

Peace

Hello, Dev!

Thanks for checking this out

I do agree with the position that dong bdsm around race and cultural issues is unlikely to “make you more racist” but I can see where the fear of “permissioning” can grip people.

And yeah…it absolutely IS terrifying.

Peace

~Mo

your shy girl is back!

That interview was amazing, so interesting and thought provoing! I think I’m finally “groking” it as Andrea said. This might be my youth speaking (just turned 26 last week) but what’s the big fucking deal? do people forget that this is called race PLAY, play being the operative word here? Your partners in these scenes aren’t really racists. You aren’t asking Klan members to come whoop on you. I think that being able to choose to play at these ideas and exploring the emotions in these scenes is a huge step forward more than anything. But most importantly i feel like this is YOUR (any anyone else who chooses to participate in race play) kink, and no one else gets to have an opinion on what gets YOU off.

Big ups to you Mo, for being so brave and sacrificing your personal sanity to become the poster child for race play and in my opinion (if grokkers even get to have one) for personal freedom in the BDSM scene.

I’m not sure the perspective of yet another white person is really helpful here, but, while I agree that I (unfortunately, shamefully) have racism inside of me, I don’t think it’s going to grow and sprout from my chest either. I think race play is even less likely to make me more racist than acting on sadistic impulses is to turn me into someone who wants to torture animals or unconsenting people.

That said, I don’t think I could actually do race play, at least not black/white. Way too scary for me. I don’t really do that type of play anyway (I mean saying things that I don’t mean, being unkind, or humiliation, etc.) but it would be hard for me to have that much trust, and feel like I was trusted to that extent. Terrifying.
