Sorry about that, guys

I had no idea that my seme/uke musing would create such a big stir, so I deleted the entry and would like to make a formal apology for arousing everyone's ire. :(

I guess we just have different opinions on how discussions should take place. I think that arguing about anything fandom related can quickly get out of hand, and I thought that was the case. But again, I didn't read much, so I'm just guessing.

I don't understand your last paragraph. I had thought seme/uke, and d/s had the same idea to them. Were they discussing how s/u was illogical and sexist? Because then I believe that would be unnecessary to the discussion, since the topic was how s/u could be applied to J/W. 'Don't like what's being talked about, and can't come up with a reasonable comment to state your ideas, then you probably shouldn't enter the conversation.'

But that's my idea, and I know how that there is different ways a discussion can go, as well as how the entry should have been handled.

Well, you're guessing wrong. Anything wasn't even remotely reminding things getting out of hand.

No, no, I meant that D/s is totally different than top = dom & bottom = sub. As far as I know, seme/uke is just the Japanese (fandom?) way of saying D/s.

And no, we weren't discussing how D/s is illogical or sexist (because it isn't) but - as I said - how that being on top (i.e. doing the penetrating) is automatically taken to mean that one is in charge/dominating/manly, and that similarly being on bottom (i.e. being penetrated) is automatically taken to mean that one is submissive/meek/womanly is illogical and sexist.
