DARK SIDE #032 - The Predators Amongst Us

Summary: THE DARK SIDE BDSM EDUCATIONAL PODCAST This week Dark Angel and KnotNice start off by reading about a fictitious (and sarcastic) new Workshop - to teach Predators how to scoop up all the fresh newbie meat. Dark Angel gives a bit of a rant, based on a discussion he had with a newbie the night before in chat. The newbie tells him how a well respected and experienced couple in the Community are meeting her for the first time; they invited her to their home - for her FIRST meeting ever. Dark Angel illustrates that this sets a poor example for a newbie. Dark Angel and KnotNice discuss common predator behavior, as well as red flags which should warn a newbie or an experienced person, before meeting. The boys talk about how predators use common real-life community positions to manipulate their victims, such as offering to be someone's mentor or protector after having just met online two days previously. Even though such positions are honorable and have good merits in the community, the boys illustrate how predators manipulate the system and us how something should set off red flags. Based on their mutual experience, DA and KN illustrate how a newbie is the number one person responsible for their own safety, and how the community is and should be a support. Newbies are adults who are responsible for their own actions, but experienced members of our community do have an obligation to be supportive and at the very least to be a good example.
