The three types of kink are

* you have power

* you’re safe

* feet

this is a shitpost but I think it’s not THAT wrong. Most kink is either one of (or a combination of):

  • You get to play at having power over someone else. This is your dominance sorts of things, your sadisms, etc.
  • You get to play safely. You can play with scary things while knowing there’s safewords and a dom/top who loves you.
  • Feet. By which I mean, there’s some normal part of the human experience that your brain has for some reason fixated on. Maybe you’re into red hair, or glasses, or fluffy tails.

“safety” can also present as “useful”. You have some intrinsic value that cannot be taken from you (because of some sex/kink thing). The safety is from abandonment, because you’re useful, despite everything. And “useful” is a bunch of kinks (none of which I’m comfortable mentioning here).

oh no, animal ears are feet

yeah. cat ears are feet!

can someone turn this into the calvin’s dad dialogue

oh god, this is so obviously calvin’s dad dialogue that now I’m worried that I plagiarized it without realizing it

the above conversation transcribed onto the calvin and hobbes strip in question. calvin's dad says "playing a record? i'll show you something interesting. the three types of kinks are power, feeling safe, and feet. all kink falls into those categories. dominance? power. petplay? feeling safe. collars? feeling safe. sadism? power. despite being unrelated on the surface, ears and tails are feet." followed by calvin in bed with fox ears and a tailALT

this post was rattling around in my head

all tumblr posting is either calvin’s dad meme (reducing everything to a few categories) or calvin’s dad realism (pointing out that the truth actually has nothing to do with that)

the original comic that the Calvin's Dad meme is from. It says nothing about reducing everything to a binary, it only discusses the apparent paradox of how two points on a spinning record (at the edge and near the center) are connected to each other and therefore seem unable to go different speeds, and yet they travel different distances in the same time. Calvin at the end is tormented not by a challenge to his binary views, but a challenge to his very understanding of physics and geometryALT
