- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.

Kinda sounds like the boss also learned that phrasing from kink. Why else would he respond well to such an unusual turn of phrase?
I’ve heard people use “for clarity,” to clarify an ask… and, though my experience is limited, I’ve never heard it used in kink (before)
It sounds like a more PC version of "sanity check"
Read the same phrase but without the preceding "clarity". I can see how some assholish people receive it as a challenge or argument.
Because it bluntly states tone and intention. I've been in the kink community for nearly a decade and never heard of people using this. But it works in both places because it takes away the idea that you're questioning the instruction as an idea, but rather just trying to make sure that you have correctly understood so that you're able to properly do what they want
