A few weeks ago, a popular rope artist who predominately does rope on white women, posted a picture of a WOC who bottomed for them and in the process tokenized them in a way that made them feel uncomfortable. They didn't consent to being the token in their feed and in the process of trying to show off for doing rope (finally) on a WOC, they managed to get their race wrong. This lead to a huge debate on their page and a larger conversation about POC in BDSM media. What I didn't know at the time was that some WOC pay rope artists to do the rope they do on white women for free. There's a lot of conversations to be had about accessibility, race and kink, but I also think it's worth considering if you're creating BSDM media as representation or if you're simply showing off your art. Being a black bottom can be...interesting.
