I think you are misunderstanding what I'm referring to. I was referring to the fact that as an allegory it inappropriately assigns false notions about D/s, whether that was the purpose or point of the author, I don't know.
People have taken this story to mean many things and some of the things they have taken the story to mean is in fact saying inappropriate things about a subculture. If that wasn't the author's intent, I feel better about that, but if it was meant to garner such inappropriate responses about a subculture, that is what I am taking issue with.
I never once said that people should only view it a certain way but plenty of people are saying that I should view it the way they do.
