~"The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead."~
A thought I had that I recently got reminded of was of those mid 2010's emo/scene kids. You know the ones, who'd wear black shirts with "obscure" bands, black or blue lipstick, black hair with colored streaks, ripped pants, and spiked collars.
I'm not sure if anyone else had this experience, but most of the time, those kids were purely vanilla, despite being decked out in bondage gear. It's almost funny in how consistent the stereotype was, most of them were just wearing to complete the look, but had no idea of the origin of those collars and cuffs they were wearing, or what those little D-rings were for.
If anyone could please explain, this has always confused my kink-focused brain!
