GET IT??? BIG SPLASH!!! Sigh…
Online femdom Twitter was set on fire the other day when Mistress B claimed to have been tributed over 100K by a guy in 1 day.
Of course, the guy also tributed some other dommes, including hitting up Goddess Haven for around 42K.
Go black people!
The reaction from the community was mixed. Some were really happy for the women…
To some thinking he’s crazy…
To a sizeable amount of women thinking the situation is absolute bullshit…
Sarah Divinetrix, by the way, is… really off. I’m just going to leave it at that. Do your own research.
Having a healthy amount of skepticism in online femdom/findom is fucking necessary. Dommes lie, a lot. Fake tributes, fake gift card purchases, fake subs, fake profiles, fake you name it. I’m not mad at it to a certain extent because dommes are trying to uphold a character, a certain mystique if you will, but the downside is that it becomes really difficult to discern between what’s real and fake.
Mistress B has lied to me personally multiple times so take that as you will. If she was the only one receiving these large tributes I would yell bullshit and move on with my day. However, the truth is that it’s not just Mistress B and the big spender, henceforth referred to as The Whale, has been around for quite some time.
Before I get into what I know about The Whale, here is the part where I say that a lot of this is hearsay and gossip, so take what is written here (and anywhere on this blog, really) with a grain of salt. Do your research and come to your own conclusions:
1.) He mainly tributes through Iwantclips. Some ladies have claimed that this is because his credit cards don’t work on any other site, which makes no sense. Iwantclips, A SEX SITE, has a better relationship with merchants than Amazon or Paypal? Eye roll.
2.) It looks like his tributes come through pay e-mails. It’s unclear whether he actually has contact with any domme that isn’t through email.
3.) Dommes have been eerily quiet to mention any specific details about their sessions with The Whale. This is fairly uncommon in online femdom. Dommes have HUGE mouths when it comes to talking publicly about sessions, I have personally had to tell dommes to delete tweets that detailed our sessions. I guess big money does brings some kind of silence even if dommes flaunting his spending is bringing him a great amount of notoriety.
4.) He’s been around since at least 2012.
5.) There have been multiple claims that there is more than one guy spending this kind of money. Two guys spending millionaire money through pay e-mails on iwantclips seems pretty unlikely to me. Plus the two guys disappear for a few months then pop back up at the same time? Eye roll.
The first three points have led to a conspiracy theory I’ve seen thrown around that The Whale is actually iwantclips redistributing their profits in order to make their site look better. Iwantclips is a pretty slimy site and it makes me laugh to think about Mr. Nikki sitting in front of a computer talking to dommes, but I don’t think that is the case here. The problem with this theory and really, most conspiracy theories in general, is that it would take a lot of people to sit on a very big lie like this, and people rarely ever keep their mouths shut.
No but really, why iwantclips?
Most of this is conjecture, but I think the answer here is two fold: 1.) It’s less of a hassle to deal with just one site when spending large amounts of money and 2. Iwantclips cut him a deal.
Spending large amounts of money on a sex site is a bigger deal than most would assume. This is because chargebacks, while something like 5% of all transactions, are still a huge liability on both the website and the clip store owner. Sex sites can lose relationships with merchants if too many chargebacks are incurred. That’s why sex sites do a lot of diligence on big spenders – usually in the form of learning everything they can about the large spender – their real name, where they work, social media accounts – anything that will give them leverage so that they can contest the chargeback. I heard one story about how famed sex site Mygirlfund made a large spender take multiple pics of himself holding up a sign in different positions: Crouched over, sitting Indian style etc. So in this circumstance I can understand why The Whale would just want to just avoid the hassle and deal with one website.
The second and most plausible answer is that Iwantclips cut him a deal.
No one ever makes a direct purchase from a clip store on Iwantclips. Instead, you first purchase Iwantclips dollars and they can only be spent on the Iwantclips site. What if Iwantclips saw The Whale spending big money (hopefully they saw him spending big money on THEIR site and not other sites because that is tampering), approached him and said “Hey, if you give us $100,000 real dollars, we’ll give you 110,000 in iwantclips dollars.” Sure, iwantclips makes a less of a percentage here but they still stand to make around $10,000 depending on the lady he spends it on.
I previously reported how dommes with larger earnings, such as Jasmine Mendez, receive larger percentages than other clip stores on Iwantclips. This is what one prominent domme referred to as IWC’s “Ownership” program. So if you’re cutting deals with ladies who bring in big money for you, why wouldn’t you do that with big spending customers, too? It’s a very shrewd and smart business move.
Now, if this is true – you have to wonder whether this guy signed some exclusivity agreement with Iwantclips, because IWC’s behavior has been VERY shady when it comes to the Whale.
Let’s rewind…
Back in May of this year, Princess Rene joined Iwantclips. This was a huge deal because Rene and her husband are also the owners of rival site Kinkbomb. Rene was arguably the last big domme that had yet to open a clip store on the site and IWC, for their part, certainly rolled out the red carpet.
They even made a press release that they sent around to major adult publications. They treated her like she was fucking Lebron James signing to the Miami Heat.
BUT, Princess Rene had barely finished uploading her clips to IWC before drama struck. The Whale contacted her through IWantClips to tribute and she directed him to tribute off site. IWC promptly contacted Rene and threatened to her sue her if she persisted.
“They” being IWANTCLIPS and I’m guessing the 80 means that IWC gave her 80% of her earnings.
The same thing happened to new-ish domme Lexidomme*. Lexi’s story is a bit more troubling because, if she is to be believed, was initially contacted through OnlyFans. Lexi has always been a huge proponent of avoiding sites that take a cut out of the dommes pay-maybe her biggest claim to fame prior to this situation was that she was able to keep open her Paypal account during a time when many sex workers accounts were being closed. I think that’s really cool – not everyone wants to be at the whims of a virtual pimp sites.
**Lexidomme is unique in that she’s the only domme in The Whale’s binder of women that hasn’t been around for at least three years. I wouldn’t have thought this was The Whale if it wasn’t for how aggressive Iwantclips was acting towards her.
The exclusivity agreement, while far fetched, is the only way that I can make any sense out IWC’s behavior in these cases. Why else would IWC care if Lexidomme was getting tributed by The Whale on another platform? Ethically this is the only explanation that makes sense.
It does to me too, sir. Note: I’m not a lawyer.
One thing to note is that Iwantclips released a statement about taking members off site:
With that being said, we want to address a recent occurrence that broke our heart. We had discovered that certain models from the iWantClips community were removing iWantClips customers from the site and circumventing the website for the processing of existing customer payments. This behavior is strictly against our Store Operator Agreement’s Terms of Service. iWantClips services are only available to models who both honor the terms of our Store Operator Agreement, and value the intuitive, state-of-the-art platform we provide. This behavior only results in having his or her iWantClips store closed down.
IWANTCLIPS statements are pretty interesting in that they manage to give this illusion that they are being very clear and succinct with their messaging, but are actually very vague and misleading. If The Whale was a customer of the domme on a site previously, that doesn’t make it Iwantclips domain. When does a customer become a IWC customer? Also, I believe that the wording about taking a customer off site wasn’t in their Terms and Conditions until very recently.
The other reason why Iwantclips is being so aggressive in attacking dommes is the most obvious one: Iwantclips is slimy and greedy. I am not apprised with the IWC’s financials but it seems to pretty petty to be acting like this over $10,000-$20,000 windfalls. Furthermore, a WEBSITE is treating this man like he’s their actual property. Is this the first case where we’ve seen a WEBSITE domme a customer? Their behavior is so odd and troubling.
So what do I think of The Whale?
Well, first and foremost, I hope that The Whale is okay, not in any serious debt and taking care of himself. He is spending a serious amount of money and I truly do hope that this is all disposable income and not say, his kids college fund or inheritance (assuming that he has kids). If he is indeed spending responsibly, all the more power to him, I hope the man’s had some nice quality nuts during those sessions.
I am under the impression that The Whale has inadvertently helped out both the domme and sub scene alike. Remember how I said that Rene was banned because she took The Whale off site? OF COURSE Rene would take him off site because she has her OWN site where she probably pays 0%. And then, maybe as a huge fuck you to Iwantclips, this happened:
I believe that in order to get 90%, dommes need to contact Kinkbomb and ask for the deal.
As far as I know, this is now an industry best amongst clip sites, and if you factor in the Stellar Studio program, which rewards studios with higher sales with better commissions, this statistically makes Kinkbomb the better site for keeping your money. Everyone wins in this situation and it’s pretty hilarious that IWC’s pettiness has led to opportunities for dommes to make more money.
I find The Whale fascinating not because of who he is but mostly because of the emotions that he brought out in the scene. There has been a lot of jealousy on both the domme side, the sub side, and even the clip side and I think it is really misplaced.
For the domme side, it seems like a lot of women are getting really hot over a dude, which to me, is exactly the opposite of what femdom is about. Also, if you’re getting jealous of a woman who is RECEIVING money from a richer man, I think you’re doing it all wrong. Don’t you want to aspire to BE the man in these cases?
This woman encourages males to commit suicide for a living, but this is a cool tweet.
For subs, being jealous of other subs is absolutely absurd. If you’re jealous of a man that is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on women he isn’t even meeting in person, you need to take some time and reflect on your life and goals.
Plus, I mean, if you’re going to be jealous of a dude, shoot high!
My only real complaint is that I wish The Whale had tributed dommes that were better humans. This is the list of dommes that we BELIEVE to have been tributed by The Whale:
Meggerz
Ceara Lynch
Princess Fierce
Princess Sienna*
Pay Princess Ashley (Not to be confused with attractive Filipina and Niteflirt all-star Princess Ashley
Mistress B
Goddess Haven
Princess Lyne**
Princess Rene
Princess Mackayla
Lexidomme
The ladies at the top of this list through Ashley are verifiable garbage. The ladies towards the bottom seem like rational humans.
*I’ve never mentioned Sienna on this blog before but she’s a racist, entitled piece of shit.
**Princess Lyne has at least one racist clip out there but as far as I know it was filmed a long time ago and it hasn’t been available for sale for a long time so I’ll give her a pass. Also, if you want to read one of the funnier perspectives on The Whale her Twitter feed is great for that and one of the most entertaining in the scene overall.
It’s easy to tell who is being tributed by The Whale because he singlehandedly fucks up the Iwantclips rankings on any given month. Meggerz, for instance, normally wouldn’t rank towards upper half of the top 50 on Iwantclips most months, but when tributed by The Whale, she skyrockets to #1. If you see a domme at #1 and she doesn’t have any clips ranking in the top 50, it’s probably because he tributed her.
So in the end, I’ll say that my opinion of The Whale is mostly positive and I wish him well. I hope that, if he is truly happy doing so, that he keeps tributing dommes ad infinitum. I would just implore him to think about tributing dommes that put some thought into the responsibility and effects that they have in their chosen profession, especially because these are all ladies that are far from struggling to make ends meet.
**I would be remiss without mentioning that Loser Peter has been a big help in writing this post. And just a good overall scene friend in general (happy tears, sob, hug!).
