ONCE AGAIN REMINDING YALL THAT DOM AND SUB ARE NOT SYNONYMS FOR TOP AND BOTTOM

TOP/BOTTOM ARE POSITIONS AND JUST DESCRIBE WHO GETS PENETRATED/DOES THE PENETRATING

DOM/SUB ARE TERMS INHERENTLY ASSOCIATED WITH KINK. IF YOU ARE A SUB OR DOM YOU ARE PARTICIPATING IN KINK AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY BE A SUBMISSIVE TOP OR A DOMINANT BOTTOM

STOP CALLING CHARACTERS DOMS AND SUBS WHEN YOU REALLY MEAN TOP AND BOTTOM

#ITS IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE I'M YELLING #like listen sometimes its funny and ok to use the words interchangebly #but like you gotta understand those are not actually interchangeable words #and using them interchangebly outside of jokes or contexts where they are interchangeable just continues to confuse people #like there are younger people online who call themselves subs when they really mean bottom #and you gotta understand why its important to make that distinction #when they could be unknowingly telling potential partners they're into kink when they might not be #and best case scenario that's misleading to their potential partners even if unintentionally so
