Reposting from the last thread to get more eyes.
Earlier, I got pulled on stage to put manacles on a strongwoman so she could break out of them. On one hand,
, but on the other hand, I kinda dislike that she pulled me up because I look dommy because that's not really how I want to be perceived.
now see, if 'twere a man I would love to put all the shackles on the poor lad. but considering that it's a strongwoman...oof this is a tough one
on the other point, you clearly need to look more
in a subtle way to be perceived differently 
I was wearing a flannel and an extremely goofy graphic T on, I don't think subtle is gonna cut it
hm alright, yeah. you need to look more like
clearly.
That's basically what I was doing, but the look was interpreted as "smoldering" which is what got me pulled up to begin with
try wearing something subtle like this next time:
seriously though, if they perceive a full blown puppy-eye stare as a "smolder" I don't think it's a you problem tbh
Here's the actual shirt I had on
Wow, I'm jelly
Is it at all possible that you were pulled up because you looked
? Or did they say/imply it's because you looked dommy?
The other person who went up also looked dommy, and on stage she had us do evil laughs and villain poses. When I tightened the manacles she said "you've done this before"
Oh :( I'm sorry that it was an invalidating experience
crowd work is supposed to be fun and validating for those involved
I'm not bothered by what happened on stage, just by what I was pulled up for.
