submissive
Any character who is part of the BDSM subculture, taking part in a power exchange (partial or total) within a relationship. This doesn't have to be sexual; dominant/submissive relationships can entirely exclude sex.
The dom takes control over the sub; this can be in the form of dictating their diet, what they wear, or even more intimate things. The sub is likely to wear a collar as a form of display that they are owned by a dom, although it is not a requirement.
Tag also applies if the theme of submission is present in the image.
For this tag to apply, the submissive character must be visible rather than just implied. A leashed pov is an example of the latter.
