I’m going to come back to my fuckupperies, be sure. But I find that they are hard posts to write, and require much pulling on teeth and heartstrings. So in the meantime, my first (and probably last) thoughts on CollarMe.
Tonight I saw an incredibly weird play about the first feminist queen of Lapland. When I came home, I closed my CollarMe account. Strangely, these things do have something to do with one another. In the play, the queen is called “swashbuckling”. I had forgotten how much I love that word, swashbuckling. I realized there was a part of me that used to ache to inhabit such a word, and that the ache is still there.
And when I came home and signed online, looking at the messages in my inbox and the words coming up on the screen, I also realized that there is no place for swashbuckling women on CollarMe. There is some potential there, but most of it is buried and I don’t care enough to go digging. There is too much shit in the way.
When I clicked the button to close my account, this is the message that appeared, letter for letter:

Perminantly close your account?
Really, that about sums it up. And I would laugh, if it wasn’t just so fucking pathetic.

I should really do one of those rants about BDSM personals web sites in particular, but alas, there is so much I could rant about and not nearly enough time in the universe to get close to covering all the fuckuppery that they practice.
Ahh.. the joys, or rather the not joys, of collarme. The place is just a cesspit of people trying to live inside their own little dream world. What could have been a wonderful social networking site has turned into a shop front for so called money-dommes. I say so called because I have always had long held suspicions that the vast majority are actually men hiding behind a dodgy photo stolen off flickr or photobucket.
I know I shouldn’t laugh, since Everything About Femdom Is Broken, but this was too funny.
CollarMe creeps me out, but swashbuckling is cool. Good decision.
