A conversation with Mistress Sato takes us on their personal journey through the world of kink and BDSM. From doodling erotic art as a child to exploring the early internet, Sato shares how they developed their dominant personality long before understanding what BDSM even was. We dig into Purgatory, the revolutionary collective Sato co-founded with Mistress Kiki, created specifically to uplift BIPOC, queer, and trans people. Rather than following the traditional dungeon model, Purgatory operates as a supportive community where members share skills, resources, and political values. We dig into consensual non-consent to the economics of male dominants in the industry, all while emphasizing how Purgatory’s anti-capitalist approach creates a more just and sustainable environment for peopl from all backgrounds.
