All these people complaining about the strictness of labels clearly didn't read the bar at the bottom.
Labels are not boxes, they're communication tools that can evolve over time.
In other words - they're not rules, they're guidelines!

Well, the poster is mostly linguistic prescriptivism (defining what words mean). That small caveat at the bottom that words can mean whatever you want them to can't really defeat the entire rest of the poster.
These do not contradict whatsoever. The words can have precise meanings without people precisely defining themselves by them. Sheer pedantry. Also, the ending statement does not say the words "mean whatever you want". That's just you lying.
Is a verse switch a thing? Do people like them? Asking for a friend
People in the real world like to rub their parts together and don't concern themselves with these labels.
Yes these labels are meaningful and can help you define who you are and what you want but don't let them get in the way of finding someone who wants to consensually rub parts. It's really just an Internet thing and niche sex culture.
I wouldn't say bdsm is very niche lol
Someone’s clearly never been on grindr.
"it's really just an internet thing" is just completely wrong.
If I'm a top and am not comfortable bottoming, then no matter how attractive the guy I'm not going to want to get with another top (yes, I'm aware of frotting and giving head, but sometimes you want penetrative sex yk). So I put that on my profile, to help ensure I match with someone I'm going to be sexually compatible with.
Beyond preventing wasting time, it also helps give clear boundaries and ensure that hookups are safer for both involved.
I mean, I am, and it seems to work for me 😜
Tag yourself, I'm a top switch :3
I'm tired
Hi tired, I'm too!
Hi too! I'm dad
Hi daddy :3
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Sub bottom 😏
I’m a vers switch! :3
I'm a double pole double throw switch
Just a phase?
Title should have been "Sub rule"
Someone should put this on the Cool Guides community.
When I'm told to lead, follow, or get out of the way, I just get out of the way.
If the leaders are doms, and the followers are subs, what the fuck am I?
