Y'know, I think what annoys about the "slave" thing is that it type-casts submissives in inaccurate ways.

Ok, that didn't quite make sense, let me try again.

People use slave to mean "like a submissive, but more so", more or less. But I think there are different kinds of submissives, and the kind that people call a slave when the submission is intense enough is only one of those. I don't quite like that the other kinds are lumped into the "less serious" category like that.
