"It’s also an extremely funny film. Some of the laugh-out loud sequences in Can’t Feel Nothing feature a digital dominatrix, “Mistress Harley,” who can get men to willingly humiliate themselves at her command. For instance, one such man, at her instruction, repeatedly smacks himself in a very sensitive area of the male anatomy."

• Review of "Can't Feel Nothing" via Deadline

​

"researcher and educator Mindy Seu they are inseparable. Her vast project, Cyberfeminism Index – a website and now 600-page publication – began its days as an open-source spreadsheet, and is an illuminating example of the potential for archiving to be collaborative, grassroots and radical...Entries throughout the project illustrate just this; how the internet has come to create new truths and histories in terms of feminist theory and practice. Mindy highlights a subsection of BDSM called “data dominationⓇ”, in this instance enacted by the self-professed “techdommeⓇ” Mistress Harley. This specific act of power play involves granting Mistress Harley remote access to your computer, and therefore everything that exists on it – private information, bank details and images. “While it is meant to be a titillating powerplay, it doesn’t necessarily involve nudity, or the body at all,” says Mindy. “It reveals all of these other vulnerable aspects that are carried on our machines, and allows other people to access and divulge them in some way.”'

"An Art and Political Statement: How Mistress Harley’s Techdomme Reaches a Niche Market and Advocates Empowerment

'I often use my method of TechdommeⓇ to assist in gender transitions, advocate for full sexual freedom among consenting adults, encourage role play and experimentation among people exploring their gender and sexuality, and remind those people that sexual freedom and intellectual freedom are important human rights,' she expounds."

"Financial Domination is Feminist Performance Art says Mistress Harley.

As a Financial Dominatrix, Mistress Harley advocates feminism within her Techdomme and beyond. In a world where women are still fighting for equality, Harley is using her platform to open up a conversation about female empowerment."

• CEO Weekly, Nov 11, 2022

​

"According to Mistress Harley, power exchange is the key to her art because it allows women to see a reversal of societal norms and tap into their true potential. By learning from her experiences with men, women can foster an environment where a healthy exchange of power can occur, let go of their inhibitions and take control. This is the key to unlocking their true strength and power. Relationships where a woman also asserts dominance create a balanced and healthy environment and a challenge to the existing paradigm that often defines male and female relationships."

‘It might be hard to imagine, but just like any other kind of fandom there is a large fandom community for adult content on Twitter,” Mistress Harley, a tech dominatrix, said."

"Harley said she sees the issue of adult content moderation on Twitter as one of accountability. "I do not see any reason that any anonymous person should be able to post adult content, the lack of accountability for the people posting is what leads to an environment where people feel that they can get away with posting illegal content," she said. "Pornography is not illegal or prohibited by law in the USA, so there is no reason platforms should be universally banning legal adult content while claiming to purge reprehensible illegal content."

“The ThotAudit is about more than reporting sex workers to the IRS,” Mistress Harley, who works online under the name The Techdomme, told Playboy via email. “It's about getting our platforms shut down, crippling our income, and reporting us to the variety of services that are generally adult-unfriendly. The IRS is just the threat that has gotten the most attention because no one likes an audit. I think the real damage being done is when girls get their payment sources shut down. The incels who are behind the ThotAudit are also advocating to report sex workers to PayPal, Venmo, Circle, Square, and any other payment providers who are not adult services-friendly.”
