      Can we try not to unnecessarily sexualize this? Too much of this and we’ll end up a reddit/twitter clone where people are just aiming for quick/easy zingers

        Yeah… sorry that I posted something a bit against Beehaw’s ethos.

        I am a British citizen. I have lived under this circus fiesta of a Conservative government for the past thirteen years and watched them slowly erode my rights. They have taken away so much from me and nothing has made my day more than watching Boris resign.

        If anything he and his cronies should be in prison.

          No worries and thank you for apologizing! You also deserve a right to vent against Boris, and I also happen to agree that he’s worthy of spite 😎

        Eh, I think most people are sexual beings. Sexualizing things is a quick route to making things relateable, that being the case. Also, it’s funny.

          I’m glad you enjoyed the comment, however it doesn’t fit super well within our ethos or what we’re trying to accomplish at beehaw, hence the reply.

            Ah, of course. I was simply attempting to provide an answer to the question. Apologies.

              This was such a nice exchange to see on my first day on Beehaw as a Reddit refugee. I think I picked the right instance. Minor disagreements handled with kindness and empathy without anyone blowing up? Ah so refreshing what is this feeling

                I never realised how guarded I was in Reddit. I’m constantly taken by surprise here

                  I know, right? People… respectfully disagreeing with one another? Having a… healthy and civil discourse?

                  Holy Moses, I almost forgot this was possible online!

          I’ve been exposed to enough unsolicited dicks in my life, personally. Sex is natural and erections are common, but I really don’t need to know about all of them. Some things are better kept private. I also don’t get aroused by every little thing, so all the hard dick comments are more confusing than anything. They’re not relatable to all of us.
