cause. looking at the reviews. the only reviews published are all these ~glowing~ reviews talking about how ~funny and witty~ it is

not a single bad review posted

and mine, which called the show out for being a bad representation of BDSM and for being an unsafe representation of BDSM..... was declined for 'doesn't meet contribution guidelines'

I'm judging the fuck out of you rn, IMDB

oh no, I found the bad reviews. just had to load more. but none of them actually call out the bad BDSM aspect that was the entire reason why I just. Could Not with this show

I have written a new, more detailed review for them. it's pending. we'll see how it goes

I specifically called out the bad humor and the way it relies a lot on the dominatrix character completely ignoring any kind of consent this time

and the disjointed and smushed storytelling

oh noooo i’m glad you commented here at least bc i was intrigued

but if she ignores consent then bye

Whyyyyyyy do people keep misrepresenting BDSM

50 Shades is not a good model to base off of!

yeah, the consent aspect of BONDiNG is absolutely ridiculous

because bdsm is actually abuse and bad and they don't deal with consent and you just do whatever the dominate says to /sage nod/

-brb need another shower-

....it's two -, self

like. early on, she's 'teaching' her friend about rope, and she ties his wrists together (BADLY I might add, I was yelling at the TV about how the way she was tying would cut off his circulation)..... and then leaves him all tied up and leaves her apartment to go do whatever, telling him to figure out a way out and 'consider it a lesson'

NO

NO NO NO

NO

holy fuck, that's how people FUCKING DIE

and what if something had happened to HER?

still how people die

and omfg

let's say they had a fucking panic attack in the middle of it?

You come home to someone who is p much broken

<_< not that I'd know about this

at all

>_>

ugh

ugh

she fairly well bullies him into everything too, like. bullies him into being her bodyguard. bullies him into helping her dom the clients

nooooo that is not how you Dom

it's really not, no

fuck, this show is about a dominate.

like in the tumblr aspect of "i am a dominate with 20 years experience. you WILL do as I say, you dirty slut" spammed at people

ffffffffft

Ugh ugh ugh...i'm not even in the scene and i know the sub commands a lot of power with both how they should have to give consent before stuff starts and how they have the safeword they can say at any time

Doms should never leave a sub alone in the middle of them doing a thing that is a terrible idea

jfc

There's a joke about DomWay as the alternative to SubWay

like... this is a lovely analogy for the... ah... real world? power exchange in a D/s type scene

Yesssss

damn why do I expect there to be an episode of BONDiNG where her sub gives a safeword and she instantly "WHY?" and then "No, that's not a good enough reason."

actually I know why but

fffft

Fuck that the safeword means stop. Period. That's it

None of this 'why?' bullshit

y e p

Once they safeword, continuing is sexual assault.

Unless it's a "wait wait wait" one and followed by a "good to go" one

uggggh

oh my god domway

I was pissed when I watched it. Got half an episode in and started yelling at the tv.

I'm so frustrated by the domineering bullshit being passed off as any kind of RACK power exchange. D: D: D:

same

yes!

saaaaaaame

>.<

it's fucking dangerous

especially since this one actually knows what a safe word is, like. the domminate (I'm not calling her a domme, she doesn't deserve that title) mentions them, and tells her friend that she negotiates shit with her clients.... but then is forceful and pushy and doesn't actually get consent

I was half curious about it but I was like...bets on this being done so wrong it's going to be like nooooo

glad I passed
