Can't take a joke?

Okay, so the folks at Mitchieville and Dust My Broom are making fun at my expense on a previous attempt at seriousness on this blog (which incidentally turned into a dialogue where I learned a few things), but I can take the joke. They're actually quite a witty group of bloggers. But some of the responses weren't so funny, and I had to comment on that.

An Activist in the Spotlight
Progessive Activists are your front line against the forces of evil. Without them, people would be restrained by heteronormative values, tied up by racism, and whipped by sadistic capitalists. There is much evil out there, and many cover their eyes. Hurtful words can be spoken, so some are silent. But not activists!

Activists care. Even with their access to the certainty of scientific consensus, even activists can struggle with moral issues. One can be tempted to not clean out the jam jar, to not remove the label, and to not sort glass garbage by size and color. This shows that activists are really just Everyday-Canadians. So, comrades, I enjoin you to check out this site (*) and look into the normal, everyday cares and concerns of an activist.

Activist #1, Fenris Badwulf

Y’know, we need concentration camps and death squads that go about at night looking for people like the rubber/latex crowd. Where’s Heinrich Himmler, when we really need him?

Rubber should be used in tires and hockey pucks, latex in condoms. People who wish to wear these items on their body should be vulcanized, (the process, not offered citizenship on Mr. Spock’s planet).

We need normalcy, like Howie Meeker, and George Stroumbouloupous, not strange folk going about looking like a B-movie character.

Too late, dmorris. Your right wing agenda of squeezing everyone into a tight, restrictive mold and forcing them to think alike will never come true. The dark ages are over (except for racism and sexism, which still require funding) so you can go back to whatever inadequately furnished dungeon you inhabit, you big meanie.

Personally, there is nothing like a rubber body suit, accessorized with a gasmask and combat boots, to make a bold statement of rejection of invisible white privilege. This is exactly what our students in our most vulnerable schools should be seeing everyday. They deserve it. And you should pay for it. Get out your wallet.

Hello everyone — I hope the same ‘etiquette’ applies as here with anyone else on the Internet…If you don’t like what you’ve stumbled upon, please move on. Are hostile reactions really necessary?

There are as many opinions and lifestyles out there as there are websites. There are lots of people that appreciate things you may not find acceptable or conventional. If you don’t understand it or it goes against your principles - please - express yourself, but stop with the threats. They’re very unbecoming.

One thing is for certain, with my physique I would not look good in a latex full body suit. Looks like fishnet stockings again tonight. Sigh...

Mark, the textbooks were changed decades ago. Keep your opinions to yourself or you will find yourself in re-education camp, with sensitivity training thrown in.

I already took them courses last Winter Solstice, Lord Badwulf.

Hmmmm. Let me guess: the instructor collected money for the course 'workbook', then never used it. The instructor then spent most of the time talking about themselves and their struggle with addiction and how hard it is to be a homeless sex trade worker in Toronto. Anyone who complained was discovered to be a) racist, b) sexist, c) war criminal.

Mark, you should be advancing your agenda by taking courses at the Fenris Badwulf School of Telemarketing Excellence. As you can see in the post above, we have new instructors, none of whom have struggled with addiction nor inadequate social spending in Toronto.

What's with the hostility of some of the commenters? Why the suggestion that fetishists like me should be exterminated? I don't get it. Is it because we're doing something intolerable, while if they did some checking out of the links from this blog, they would realize just how many people are into it? Is it maybe because they're secretly jealous? Hmmm. I wonder.

Fortunately, it appears that where ever there is a hostile comment referring to me or my fetish, there is another that supports my freedom to do what I want. And those people should be commended for their tolerance and open mind! What we do is completely harmless to everyone....except maybe to those rubber plantation workers in Malaysia that are tapping the latex for my suits at pennies a day. And the wildlife, vegetation and indigenous populations that were uprooted in order to raze the jungle to make room for the rubber tree plantation....okay, so there are a few people affected. Everything has consequences, right?

Regardless, I guess negative attention is better than no attention at all! *wink*
