    well, i didn’t know that computer hardware could be consenting and engaged with with the BDSM community at large.

    Personally i just like master/slave because it’s really fucking obvious how things are supposed to work. Outside of that there are some more specific terminologies that work better in specific applications. Leader follower is pretty cringe, but mostly gets the point across. Main and sub is already established lingo in the electrical field from what i understand.
