Oh also something I see a lot in the new sexual media fantasies is gang leaders and royalty used as stand-ins for power, both for plot reasons, like “who would even have the possibility of owning you as a personal pet” or to make you or them special, or to transgress against - “I’m the princess but I’m trapped outside the castle gates on the night of the kingdom’s annual Free Use Festival!”
I guess that’s just same as it ever was, what all the pirate captains and sheikhs were in romance novels, why there are Disney princesses
I suppose it’s worth noting that there’s a significant underground part of the culture explicitly, literally fetishizing non-democratic strongmen rn
