I mean, they seem to like it very much.
Same reason why gays aren’t called bumholesexuals.
New band name!
Anyone else remember the B3ta newsletter? I mean, it’s still going, but still. Anyway, they ran a competition for a long time to get the work “bumsexual” printed in a newspaper. Not sure if anyone succeeded.
Because they don’t fuck the leather.
Because bondage, S&M and the leather community are all different things. Sure they’re all under the kink umbrella but that doesn’t mean somebody into one thing is into All of the other things. Most people I’ve met in the leather community aren’t even into bondage.
Not all kinksters like leather!
I mean… I do like leather…
But it’s not because I’m a kinkster!
(But in all seriousness, many of us, myself included, don’t really like leather very much. The leather thing is a very stereotypical portrayal. That being said, it IS the best collar material imo.)
-1 for having to take it off to shower.
Because it’s not about the leather.
Edit: Yo, a user from a kbin (mbin?) server! I don’t see those around too often.
Yeah I kinda know, it was a generic term to make the joke work. This word just popped up in my mind so I had to share.
P.S. Yes I migrated here after the main kbin instance collapsed, it’s a fork and at the moment works fairly well.

There are dozens of us. DOZENS!
For some it kind of is, the leather subculture is a thing, and needless to say leather is a pretty important part of it.
I am not at all qualified to really go into it too much beyond just pointing out that it exists.
I do have a little anecdote about it though. I know someone who is an all-around very kinky person, into all kinds of fairly extreme bondage stuff. She entered and won some sort of “Ms Leather [city we live in]” competition/pageant thing a few years back but there was a bit of controversy about it because she wasn’t part of the leather subculture, even though there was a pretty decent amount of overlap between her own kinky interests and the leather community, and so she decided to resign her title and apologize over it.
Oh, leather is absolutely a thing.
But it’s a subculture of a subculture.
It’s like saying, “Why don’t we call all car drivers Tesla Enthusiasts? Because they seem to like them very much.”
Probably because it’s lame
It’s Monday, but I already know what the ‘best thing I’ve read all week’ is.
blame the vegans
Vegans who are into bondage are hard core. Without silk and leather, they have to use hemp rope. That stuff is scratchy! (This is assuming said vegan is also concerned about using petroleum derived products)
