100% but keep in mind what MC does is wayyyyy beyond brating. This is nothing like bratting. Yeah brats are not for everyone. You gotta be witty, deal with their playfulness and banter, and earn/“force” their submission. But brats are still very respectful beyond playful banter and some smartassery.
Personally, I don’t think it’s any more emotional labor than being a responsible dom tbh. This stuff is highly mental/ psychological as it is physical.
There’s a dom on tiktok who talked about why he doesn’t do play with bratty subs and he said it’s because the emotional labor involved in taming a brat takes a heavy toll on him. Reading this story has helped me understand what he means now. In addition to that, I think ML would be better off with a different sub than MC. MC (unfortunately) doesn’t really seem to have any boundaries and wants to engage is really extreme play. ML clearly does not want to harm him to such an extent and is really hurting himself in the end by trying to, for lack of a better term, beat MC into submission. ML should just cut his losses and find a more suitable sub for his tastes.
