“Dominating” in this context is not inherently cruel or sexual. Rather, it refers to seken o seisu—a Japanese phrase meaning to command social situations, to set the terms of engagement. Domination here is psychological, cultural, and performative.
Japan has long had complex power dynamics encoded in language (keigo honorifics), business hierarchy, and family structure. To “dominate” in traditional Japanese settings often means seniority or status. But in subcultures, especially those involving female performers, domination becomes a reversible cloak. For instance, in the underground “queens” scene (inspired by ballroom culture and Kabuki’s onnagata), women—and sometimes men in drag—perform dominance as an art. They need not be physically aggressive. Instead, they use wit, silence, control of space, and sheer aesthetic force. bunny+glamazon+dominating+japan
