On the contrary, seme is applied deliberately, carefully, precisely, sometimes boldly, and always on purpose. Seme...

We need to realise that racism and white supremacy "is like the air we breathe" (Alicia Garza). And as we are arriving...
Our BDSM scenes and subcultures are embedded in our society and societal norms, in what we know, in what we want to transform. Kinky people do not exist in a bubble in which power relationships no longer matter just because we negotiate certain dynamics in our play relationships or are "nice" to each other...
