Here at LBR, we wanted to start our blog with a bang, and nothing says kaboom like the blog Reckless Kajira. At first glance you think this woman, is living the life of a slave real time, in the same home as her Master. Until you read further only to realize they are not only an online couple but a Gorean role playing, Second Life, online couple. Folks can it get any more pathetic? Why yes it can and read on if you dare.
This is a direct quote taken from her profile, "I have yet to experience slavery first hand, but hope to be a real slave eventually. I am using Second Life to learn as much about submission as possible. In Second Life, my favorite thing to do is spend time with my Master. I think he is absolutely wonderful, and I love him very much. " We find statements like this one funny since she probably never has met the man she calls "Master" ( we are using the term Master very lightly in this case) so, how can she love someone she has yet to meet and how can she learn to submit from online role playing? These are the questions we will try and explore throughout this review.
Lets talk slavery for a moment since she wants to eventually become a real slave. First of all, a slave obeys and hands all the control over to her M type. A submissive, submits to the M type on a day to day basis and regains most of the control over it's life. Now in the case of online relationships like the one we are discussing, she can only be a submissive at best and even that is pushing the envelope. If she doesn't want to submit to her "Master" at any given time, than all she has to do is turn off her computer. In fact this woman writes about running away from her "Master" in a recent blog entry. Hey lady, turn off your computer and presto, you have run away. How hard is that honestly? People that actually live this lifestyle know that a slave does not run away. For most, the thought never enters their mind but we guess when the role playing online couples have had enough, they have the option of turning off the computer and running away. We are sure some of the M types at LBR would just love to shut their s types off every so often.
She talks about how wonderful his skills are at being a 'Master' and how she respects him for his masterful skills. She must mean his typing skills are masterful. We have a problem with this line of thinking because anyone can be great at anything online if they are intelligent enough. When he can show his skills in a real time M/s relationship, then maybe this man should earn some respect. Until then he is just another fake wannabe, playing the role of a "Master" in SL. Skills within an M/s relationship are learned within the confines of a real life relationship. Anyone can read information on the internet but to actually hone and make use of what you have learned, it needs to be done in real time, not in some online fantasy world.
We have established the fact that this woman can not be a slave. So how can she write about losing her 'slave fire'? Good question and we will try and figure that one out as well. We here at LBR have talked about this term 'slave fire' and what it actually means. Well, no real time slave that we know of uses this term. It seems to be an online role playing term used to describe the burning within their online souls for their M type. We kinda think it's more like the burning in their groins before an orgasm from their online antics. Whatever the term, how could she lose it? Maybe from the depression of living a fantasy and not real life? Maybe from being tired of typing the words, "Yes, Master" instead of actually saying it to his face? Whatever the cause, as the reader reads on, you realize she has found her misplaced 'slave fire'. Thank God for that folks. Maybe it was in her underwear drawer.
She claims to be learning how to submit from her online relationship. From what we read, which is pretty hysterical to say the least, she can't even complete the simple task of eating three meals a day. We know, go ahead and laugh, we all did when we read that too. This just proves our point again that with online, a task that is given doesn't have to be done because it's all a game. If she can't do this simple task than how will she ever be able to do a list of tasks in a real time environment? The answer is, she won't because online role play is easy but living in an real time M/s is damn hard work for both the M type and the s type.
And last we are still pondering the 'love' issue. We can't seem to see how one can love an online character whether it be from role play or whom ever is typing on the other end of the IM message but for some reason these online 'Masters and slaves' are in love. We can only guess that these types of people are so lonely within their real time life, that an SL character to love is as good as it's going to get.
On the laugh meter we give this a 5 out of 5. For educational content relating to M/s, we give it a 0 out of 5. And last, the pathetic meter, we give it a 5 out of 5.
