I personally think that a lot of the negativity going on here, aside from being a very valid response to perceived bad behaviour, is also based on "This is not compatible with my tastes." I don't personally have a problem with "This ain't my thing," as it is valid to have those feelings, and I certainly don't blame anyone for disliking the occasionally awful behaviour of brats in public. Goodness knows that it drove me nuts too. I'm not really cool with saying "This is NOT a submissive," though. Submissive is a pretty broad tent, and can be used to describe anything from bottom with submissive leanings to full TPE slave. Saying that a bratty submissive is not a submissive because of widgey communication is judgemental as all get out.
This.
I reject the notion that the fact that I have a somewhat oppositional nature, and poses qualities that often fall under peoples definition of the label "brat" that I'm automatically not submissive. I am submissive in my relationship, in my way, and if someone wants to think that my "bratty" qualities make me not submissive they can go fuck themselves.
