NXE is what you make of it. Even ZP, you can’t lie to ZP. If you become hyper dominant, you wanted it deep down.

I think this idea of Emperor as Hyper Dominant is nonsense. Over done. The power trippers were so obsessed with Emperor justifying their “dominant” tendencies that they created a perception of Emperor as extreme. It’s not “extreme.” It’s a good sub. Amazing sub. They just wanted it to be extreme so they could have subs that justified the fact that their goal in life was to hurt, manipulate, strong arm people.
And it can definitely make nice guys strong and strong guys stronger. That’s what it does. But it does so much more than that. When I started emperor it’s because me and my gf were going through a rough time, and emperor helped me be softer, more understanding, more loving. Less reactive. More way of the superior man like. Literally more caring and nurturing. If we’re being honest, it’s because of Emperor I stopped saying “if you don’t like XYZ then just F’ng LEAVE ME AND F OFF!”
THAT is dominance ^ or at least it’s trying to act dominant when hurt and scared. It’s ego lashing out at someone.
Emperor just doesn’t embody the archetype of the hypersocialite. Add true social and you’ve got the best of both worlds, there ya go. I think that Stark is great and especially great for people who like attention, but I think there’s more personal growth, shadow work, emotional processing, self esteem building and confidence building that comes from emperor, and that confidence will make you light, social, happy. If emperor can make me soft and loving in a relationship it can make you happy and social
