eruthros: Delenn building the crystal machine in season 1  of B5, captioned "foreshadowing" (B5 - Delenn incredible foreshadowing)
[personal profile] eruthros posting in [community profile] transcripts
Mollena, a kink educator, just posted a video called PSA; what not to say to kinky women of color. Unfortunately, I can't parse most of it because the audio is ... I don't know the word for it. Blown out? That thing where bad mics make a lot of buzz and clip sounds? ... plus it's off-sync from the video, ahhh, my brain can't process it. And youtube's auto-captions are not at all helpful, as per usual.

If anyone could help out, I'd appreciate it!

Here's what I got, hope it helps:

Mollena Williams here, also known as The Perverted Negress, at www.mollena.com [she spells out the web address], and I'm doing a quick PSA today for my fellow perverts in the kink, leather, BDSM, and [alt.sex?] communities. It has been brought to my attention by some other brown-skinned folks that some people, when approaching women of color specifically, and other people of color, I'm also assuming, but the majority of the complaints I've received are from other women, stating that, ah, folks are seeking them out specifically for hot, kinky, racial, sexual action and being less than diplomatic in their approach, let us say. I recently received a note from someone that basically asked me if I was interested in being a sex slave for a white master. And, here's the thing: there's nothing wrong with that type of kink. I myself enjoy a lot of play that other people might view as controversial. But approaching someone on those terms is, um. I'm trying to think of the diplomatic way to put it. It's an act of fairly egregious, uh, uh, uh, douchebaggery, I think is the word I'm looking for. Look. We're people and human beings first and foremost. And then we fit into our kink identity depending on how you are approaching us. And the thing is that when people want to get to know someone on a human level, one of the things that is indicative of someone who has a fucking clue is approaching them like a person, versus approaching them as a prop in a fantasy, or as a one-dimensional caricature of something that you might not even be sure is an appealing act for them. If for example you were into some other type of extreme sex - and don't be mistaken, this is extreme play, okay? It really is, to want to do something involved playing with someone's, um, ah, racial, uh, or cultural identity - would that be the first thing you would say? Would you go up to someone and say, "Hey, nice to meet you, you know, I'd like to tie you up so that your hands and feet turn blue and whip you until you bleed. How's that? Wanna go for coffee?" That might be off-putting. Consider it to be that severe - and more so - when you approach someone and you're dealing with issues of race, or color, or class, or gender identity, or any of those things. Um. Those are a lot of things to think about or digest for you, but lemme just put it to you this way: approach us as people, people first. Um… I didn't think I had to fuckin' point this shit out, but apparently this is a widespread problem. And I'm talking to you people on FetLife and people on CollarMe, and you know who you are, when you see some hottie who fits into some fuckin' fantasy that you've got, don't roll that way. Because it's rude, and it's impolite. And we talk, and it's a small world, right? And I can tell you that there has been more than one time where someone has posted something on an email list and five or six other people have gone behind the scenes and like, "Yeah, that motherfucker wrote to me, too." So we know. And we know who you are. So please, do yourself a favor and - and do us a favor - chill the fuck out, approach us as people, and be polite. And if - IF - someone happens to have that as part of their repertoire, part of their fantasy… You can give them the opportunity to approach you. But [indistinct, possibly "rolling up"] on that first just makes you look like… A douchebag. That's my PSA for today, thank you so much, please enjoy. Or don't. I don't give a fuck, really. Do what you wanna do. I'm gonna go and, uh, probably masturbate right now. But you don't get to see that 'cause I [indistinct].

End transcript.

I'm sorry I couldn't get that last word or words! I replayed that a gajillion times and just couldn't make it out beyond that it ends in a d-sound, or maaaybe an sk. Possibly embarrassed? It doesn't seem likely, but that's the only word I can think of that had the right basic sounds.

Happy to help! That's one of the kinds of audio that I can hear okay, so I figured I should pitch in. :)
