Objectifying Submissive People.

We all know that in the real world objectifying anyone is wrong. Unfortunately too many people come to the internet and decide it is perfectly ok to objectify a person who is just pixels. This is abundant and rampant on Adult Sites as well. Most of the time just telling someone that they are objectifying a person and not pixels is enough to draw them back in line, but when that person is a submissive it seems so much harder to make people understand it is still wrong.

A submissive person will take a lot of crap. Honestly we do, we tend to just not speak up when somethng bothers us unless it is really bad. I do it myself, and I know of several others as well. I will use myself as an example. When people began to go overboard with the unsolicited touching in the shoutbox I just quit using the shoutbox rather then report the behavior to a sirens or deity. I did not want to hurt the other persons feelings, even though it was completely making me uncomfortable.

People sometimes assume that being a submissive type of person, then we want just anyone dominating us or touching us without asking. This could not be further from the truth. Some are ok with that, but many are not. Just because one identifies as submissive does not mean "take me, have your way with me".

Objectification can come in any forms. Most often, online at least, it comes in the form of demanding shows of various nature whenever someone pops their head in. Not even bothering to get to know someone in any other fashion then a general description and assuming, and expecting, to be catered to.

It is, in all honestly, very easy to do to someone who is more submissive then others. Which makes it just that much more ...icky...to take advantage of someone's nature. Now really being submissive does not mean that we will /do/ what is demanded, but I know my line of defense is utterly ignoring the offending remarks. That does not mean it does not make the person being objectified feel any less of a person or less respected.
