Basic Trope: People into bondage are portrayed as philosophical/intellectual.
 * Straight: Mistress Alice, a Dominatrix, is brilliant and philosophical.
 * Exaggerated: Mistress Alice is the smartest person in the world.
 * Justified: She became a dominatrix to put herself through law school.
 * Inverted: Mistress Alice is The Ditz.
 * Subverted: Alice becomes a Dominatrix to put herself through law school, but discovers that she isn't into it, and quits the job.
 * Double Subverted:...Because she wants to Dom for love, not money.
 * Parodied: All the high IQ society talks about is bondage.
 * Deconstructed: Because of her intelligence and bondage fetish, Mistress Alice has trouble finding friends or romantic partners, and feels doubly isolated.
 * Reconstructed: Until she finds Slave John, who is just as intelligent as she is.
 * Zig Zagged: Alice likes BSDM. She is noted as an amazing computer tech. But she then fumbles with a computer. Actually, the personal settings were odd. Not that it helped when they got changed. But that's because the data she needs is in a random place, so it just looked like Alice was stumbling around.
 * Averted:
 * Casual Kink or Bondage Is Bad
 * Alice is not into bondage.
 * Enforced: The Author is into bondage and is frustrated with Bondage Is Bad stories.
 * Lampshaded: "Do you keep the bullwhip behind the PHD?"
 * Invoked: "We need somebody who is smart but also has a sexual notability."
 * Exploited: The villan uses BSDM in order to get the smart one to work for them by displaying an apparent comfort to them.
 * Defied: Alice is smart, but the only reason she has the mask is to scare people, she really dislikes unnecessary pain.
 * Discussed: ???
 * Conversed: ???
