The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

That's really not any better.
It's legal and it doesn't hurt anybody (who doesn't enjoy being hurt). I thus see no reason for you to object.
As for Vossyrus proclaiming his fascination with it in his banner, it seems like nothing compared to a poster here named free_varg, who's name implies an endorsement of a racist ideology as well as an endorsement and support of a convicted murderer.
 
I do allow it to done freely but I can be against the ultra-extreme sections of it. I find the ultra-extreme parts of it sexist and degrading. I would not stop it at all as long as they want to be a part of it and no ones is forced into it. I am just saying its strange, but I will still respond to his posts and accept it to a certain level because I doubt he takes it to that level. Sound good? I did not mean to judge the whole group. I do not have a problem with 97% of the group, though it is not my thing.
 
The sexism part of your post (as well as the extreme) makes me doubt you really understand this stuff. For one thing, a chick in a corset with a chain is hardly the extreme end of the spectrum. And secondly you should probably understand the concept of dominant/submissive partner before you throw accusations of sexism around.

As for Vossyrus, I suspect this is just a goth fixation and not an actually proclamation of masochistic tendencies.
 
His sig is just weird, the leash mostly, but nowhere near the extreme sections of it. Thus, it is fine with me

I think he should just change the avatar because of it just being bad...

I don't want to dissect bondage any longer but I do see what you are saying about sexism.
 
Ok.
I agree about the av, and frankly I'm not a fan of the sig either, mostly because I think it's extremely silly, but then the whole vampire fixation thing is too, and this is coming from someone who's favorite show is Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
 
Vampires are lame, expect the book/movie Interview With A Vampire. I don't see how people get interested in that to a certain level. Vossyrus, care to explain?
 
I certainly understand it to some degree - they're fucking cool - but they've become way too goth. The book Blood Brothers is actually a good fantasy novel dealing with them. Fucking metal as shit.
 
I think both of you over analyze things far too much. The sig is just artwork (done by a woman) which was used for the cover of an album that I own. As for my avatar, I'll change it back to what it was just so you both stop whining! :)

And I enjoy vampires, but I think only a couple of pics I've taken have reflected a 'vampire' portrayal - none of my recent ones do. As for 'Interview' I thought it was somewhat enjoyable but I think Anne Rice is an average writer with some good ideas, and I think most vampire films range from garbage to average, and occasionally good.
 
What the fuck is in your sig?

I will check it out for sure. I will take it you read Interview...?
'fraid not. It's on my list. Long list.
It's by Brian Lumley, it might be tricky to find, and it's kinda weird.

Also the title of "vampyricist" etc. It's more of an overall Goth thing than a vampire thing.

Yes, vampires are great but I'm not proclaiming to be a vampire or a goth, whatever interests me will interest me but I'm just pointing out that I'm not fixated on trying to be something. I mean people have accused me of being vain, and if you can believe it, of trying to look "tough" and "macho" in my pics before :lol:

And for the record, I'm not a misogynist...
