[ff7r] On a lighter note, this is something I've complained about before but there's a trope I just can't stand and it's the villain who's just inexplicably a professional dominatrix who's doing that at all times in all contexts
Quinn Angstrom
Scarlet at work, doing materia experiments, while wearing a dress with cleavage down to her belly button and using a guy who walks after her on all fours as a footrest
Quinn Angstrom
Scarlet if you wanna do that do it on your own time
Quinn Angstrom
I'm not saying it's unrealistic for Shinra to have a comically fucked workplace environment it's just
Quinn Angstrom
it's dumb and tired
moontouched
you can wear a labcoat for experiments, scarlet! i know shinra spits in the face of the concept of OSHA but it's just not practical
Quinn Angstrom
the girl in fire force. you work for the fire department
Quinn Angstrom
stop talking about how all men are gravel while using them as furniture
Quinn Angstrom
these anime teens did not consent to being part of your scene
Quinn Angstrom
I won't deny that part of this attitude is that it's an aesthetic that does absolutely nothing for me, sexually

I want a character who’s a professional dominatrix but we only see her in her off hours and she’s just a normal chill person
Echo
Seriously, what part of "safe sane and consensual" were these people missing?
Rama
I was just thinking the same
Echo
You just know Scarlet's been permabanned from at least one local BDSM club for being That Guy.
Quinn Angstrom
like it would make more sense if these people are literal dominatrixes
Quinn Angstrom
dominatrices?
Rama
Bringing your kinks to work as a villain indicator okay fine but acknowledge there are also people with those kinks who respect professional boundaries.
Quinn Angstrom
you're the head of materia research
Quinn Angstrom
that means this is just a hobby
pastel ranma
dominatrices probably going off the plural of gladiatrix
Quinn Angstrom
maybe I'm just not enough of a sub
Quinn Angstrom
being someone's footrest just seems physically uncomfortable and kind of dull
Quinn Angstrom
does shinra know that they're paying a guy to do that
Niamh Vibes
It seems like a hassle
Rama
I'm also thinking here of Shera from Trails in the Sky, a heroic character who dresses like a domme and uses a whip in combat, but is mostly normal toward her allies
pastel ranma
Honestly that's probably small potatoes to the rest of Shinra's corporate waste.
Rama
But then busts out the dominatrix tropes as psychological warfare in combat
Quinn Angstrom
I don't think I would have liked that character either
Rama
Which is...better? Sorta? It makes more sense anywaym
Quinn Angstrom
I would not want to be in the same party as her
Quinn Angstrom
I'm just trying to kill these fascists Shera you're making it weird
Rama
Fair
Rama
It's weirder when she does it to monsters tbh
Quinn Angstrom
that's just one extra kink
Quinn Angstrom
anyway "Bring your kink to work day" is definitely up there in Shinra's worst business ideas
Quinn Angstrom
being a sub is all following directions and being criticized, it just sounds like work
Quinn Angstrom
(this is not actually how bdsm works I'm like 60% shitposting)

There was a slice of life comic I used to read called where one character was a professional dom but she really just wanted to be a librarian
A Grinning DM
called Girls With Slingshots
A Grinning DM
Sorry my brain isn’t at 100% yet
A Grinning DM
But there is another character in the same comic who is also a dom (her coworker) who acts exactly like the trope you describe but by the end of the comic she has no friends because everyone is tired of her shit
Quinn Angstrom
that owns
Villain
"Don't treat me like that unless I am paying you to do it for fuck's sake"
penis bacon
I'd like to present a more cursed counterpoint:
penis bacon
wait, back that up
penis bacon
I keep using "counterpoint" when I mean "elaboration"
penis bacon
still, cursed take:
penis bacon
Hojo: Well shit, this intern I just experimented on lost all of his ability to execute tasks more complex than getting on all fours. HEY GUYS ANYONE WANT THIS BROKEN BITCH
Scarlet: hello did someone call me
Quinn Angstrom
oof
Rama
Something something business synergy
