TW: survivor's guilt, severe sexual abuse, sexual self-harm, being a man who is the object of impregnation fantasies (no pregnancy), violence (history of nonconsensual violence followed by a focus on healthy consensual violence during sex)
i made this game about survivor's guilt & sexual self-harm & sexual abuse & violence because i've been thinking a lot about the dimensions of such a world that i call "the world below" that do not exist for most people and that i sincerely pray most people never fucking encounter in their lives.
this game has some of the worst and most horrifying events that. you can imagine are true or not as it suits you. it doesn't change the truth.
this game is also about the concept of "a sub that can't consent / that won't safeword" because while it is great to imagine and represent BDSM as in terms of RACK (risk aware consensual kink) and other such acronyms emphasizing safety above all, where BDSM is just this "fun and kinky play" that people willingly engage in to some sort of therapeutic extent to release stress in a fun and flirtatious and deeply compelling and interesting way...
while all these things Are true, there are also many people into BDSM that These People don't talk about. and those people are people for whom violence is or has been the only truth. VIOLENCE IS NOT THE ONLY TRUTH. but it sure does feel like that sometimes. (OFTEN.) for these people, there is no distinguishing sex from violence, the two are hardwired together, and there is no disentangling them.
the answer i came to for this particular predicament of "a sub that can't safeword" is "a dom that must be attentive, observant, engaged, and responsible to the extreme" in the sense of navigating limits before they are spoken and pushing the line without ever crossing it.
