    Way to not treat someone like a human, news.

    I don't know if this news story has been posted and I don't care, because this is personal.
    Somebody I know in the pro-domme biz, Jade, needs a prayer sent out to her. She does not know me very well, but she was super nice to me before a fashion show I was in (she was in the following fashion show for another line) and she has always been a really cool customer. One of her obsessive clients (also a customer at Passional, where I work) found her and her boyfriend together. He gunned him down and kidnapped Jade, taking her to his parents house. After a several hour standoff he killed himself. This is enough of a mess in itself, but the new york post and several other news agencies decided that it would be cool to not treat her like a human being, drag her name through the mud, USE HER REAL NAME IN NEWS STORIES, and just focus on "yeah this murder happened but SHE'S A DOMINATRIX". I am fucking livid at the media. Nobody deserves this treatment after seeing two people die, one being a loved one. Especially at the hands of a maniac like the dude who did it. I never liked him and I hope he's burning in his next life, that sonofabitch. Instead of letting her grieve, the media just keep tormenting her. Not to mention they twist things like saying "She's a former phd student" noo...she's still going for a phd. She's a smart woman, an awesome woman and if anything makes me want to work harder to fight for equal rights of queer sexuality, it is this.
    Just think, would they do this if it were a government official? A kid down the block from you? S&M is not a goddamn crime. Please tell me it is and I will show you every man who gets turned on when he sees girls fight, when you realize slave leia was way more sexy because she was on a chain, when a guy just wants to "smack that ass"....
    This is how the media treats humans.

    Send a prayer out to her and her family. Jade is a wonderful lady.
    Please for the love of god in any further comments or discussion, do not use her real name.

    Long live strange sex acts. We all know half the readers of the New York Post are most likely into putting yogurt up their ass and a Popsicle stick in their mouth to get off, anyway. Media retardation is sad, old news.

    Hmmm. Sounds to me like she was pretty out front about her Domme stuff.
    I'm really not seeing what the Post did wrong here other than their usual insensitive sensationalist treatment of tragedy.

    Yeah the usual insensitive treatment of tragedy just got particularly striking for me when it was someone I knew. Also, despite her being out front about her lifestyle, they really didn't have to make an article about the worst thing that ever happened to her a goddamn picture book.

    Not good. Trying to make a transition. She is almost certainly going to have to transfer schools after this.

    Well, she's hot... Any excuse to show boobs would sell more papers.

    The New York Post is a rag, anyway. Worthless, sensationalist crap made for lining bird cages.

    Unfortunately, though, when you choose that kind of line of work, you run into those kinds of people. That's awful.

    The Post really is an embarassment.

    That's ridiculous. Is the New York Post a trash mag? They start out the article saying that the boyfriend's "secret" got him killed...? Then they go on to say that they partied together at fetish parties, sometimes with him wearing lipstick, a garter belt, stockings and high heels and that there were photos of him posted on the web. They also got a quote from a neighbor saying they made no secret of the fetish stuff.
