Being quite new to this, I hope I don't come across as being a bit thick but there are a few questions I have that I hope someone out there might answer for me.
1.
To me, "troll" is used in two senses: either a person who inentionally instigates flamewars in a forum/newsgroup, or a person who claims and identity different than their true, physical self.
2.
I agree; it just doesn't make sense, unless you're a fantasy player who only indulges yourself on the interenet. There are people out there who are so bored and unhappy with themselves that they seem to like to try to distance themselves from their physical reality by adopting radically different identities and claiming vastly different ages/genders when in contact with others into ageplay. These people (I call them trolls) are very different from sissies, in so much that most of the sissies I've come into contact with are genuine and are honest about the degree to which they play with gender, oftentimes adressing it in their play (i.e. using terms like "clitty" to refer to the sissy's penis and "boypussy" to refer the sissies anus).
3.
Many of we Daddy types are diaper fetishists ourselves (I myself am one). For one reason or another, we've discovered that its just as good/better to see a partner we're attracted to put back in diapers than it is to be in diapers ourselves. Many Daddies also adore the caring aspect, as well as the opportunity to have an explicitly stated degree of authority over their adult little ones.
4.
For most (I could never say all) Daddies out there, a partner who is fully functional is what is desired. Roleplaying baby's helplessness/dependance is only fun becuase its roleplay. If it were truly, seriously, "baby is paralyzed and can't walk", I think that it would lack the novelty for almost all Daddies and ageplay bottoms.
5.
First, I'm sorry to say, but urnination in that mode is entirely possible. As to why that would be enjoyable, it isn't my thing either, but some people fetishize body fluids, and others get off on making their partner "dirty" or by being made dirty by their partner.
6.
Your friend has a very cynical view, and IMHO, describes an abuse of the intent of "safewords." Personally, I would be mortally offended if my partner used a safeword to escape a scene because she was bored; that's just not what safewords are for. Safewords are for exiting a scene do to the presence or seeming emergance of serious emotional distress on the part of one partner or the other. If such a thing as you described happened between me and my partner, we'd snap immediately out of role, and probably have a pretty nasty argument.
Though even the most explicitly stated power exchange is illusory, I find that I do have a strong preferece for an explicitly stated power dynamic (and find it more appealing in an ageplay context).
Ultimately, baby only has as much control as Daddy gives up, and likewise. Many Daddies I've met are not the sort to go running for the diaperbag as soon as baby starts whining for a change. Your mileage may very, but I can't imagine (as a Daddy) not being the one who determines when baby's diaper gets changed.
"Accidents" (which seem to be a big thing for many of the LG/AB girls on this board) are an obvious instance of topping from the bottom. Personally, I don't find them terribly objectionable as they lead to fun fetish indulgance, but I can see how some might find them an instance of giving baby control of the situation. Ultimately, people who are not in always-on, 24/7, total power-exchanges tend to need some sort of element of misbahvior to enter scene, and an accident can work very well for that. Regardless, I find it a bit more fetishistic (i.e. panty wetting/diaper fetish/ageplay) than strictly part of power-exchange.
I hope that I'm clear enough, and that I've helped to assuage your curiousity.
regards,
Daddy A.
