If there’s one Femdom related word that sets my teeth on edge it’s paypig. Not sure exactly why. Just one of those things – like wacky capitalization – that grates against my eyeball anytime I see it.
I mention it because the word is scattered all across this Vice article on communist findommes. I guess it makes more sense in that context than most, given that capitalist pig is a well worn epithet. I’m very much not an expert on communism, but I was under the impression that neither Marx nor Engels were fans of sex work.
While most pro-dommes I’ve met are unsurprisingly socially liberal, a good percentage were also pretty capitalist. I guess it comes with running a small business and the constant hustle that requires. You need a fairly wide entrepreneurial streak to make a success of any small business, let alone one that faces constant legal and social hurdles.

Totally with you. Can’t stand the term “paypig”. It’s like “worm” or “maggot”. I have nothing against humiliation, it’s just that these words seem lazy, trite, and overused. But I’m not the target market since I’m not into FinDom. I suppose the guys that into it like the term. Otherwise I assume it wouldn’t be used.
Worm and maggot are definitely in that same ballpark. Not a fan. But like you say, they must have an audience. Definitely don’t want to shame anyone else’s kink. It’s just not mine.
