threatening to withhold aftercare as a "punishment" for bratting is insane btw
Threatening to withhold aftercare at all is pretty fucked up.
I'd dead ass argue threatening or actually withholding aftercare is abuse. You are actively harming your partners mental health for your own sense of control. It is fucked up and not okay. If you can not handle your partners behavior, safeword.
Safewords are not just useful in an actual scene, they're also useful in taking a step out of a dynamic and saying "hey. I know you're my sub/brat/dom/whatever. But XYZ is making me feel ABC and I need you to stop or I will be (doing a reasonable action, like leaving the house to cool down, or not engaging in the behavior they're presenting you.)" You're allowed to use a safeword in any condition, and when you are in any position in that dynamic. Safewords are not just for subs. Doms use the fucking safeword if you need to please! Yall need to learn how to communicate and lay down reasonable consequences for actions you genuinely don't like.
