    You would not believe it, I just met the protagonist of sex the other day. Every time a woman mentions being interested in sex in any way, they secretly mean sex with him. I met another one the day before that, too. Actually it’s wild how many random guys on telegram, discord, forum direct messages, and literally any other means of internet communication are all the protagonist of sex.

    Good job <3 I mean that legitimately. The best shitpost I’ve ever made have always been the ones causing straight dudes to get ravenous over me being gay. So much funnier seeing them just drool in rage and seems like you got the same pricks going lmao

              Pretty much in the middle of those two, or “built like a brick shithouse” as I’ve been told. The last two women I’ve dated actually found it attractive, so I’m assuming they had daddy issues lol

              Was nice actually being found attractive by someone for a change though.

              also gotta think about the fact that if we hit on the wrong person we can die lol

              Less likely where I’m from since no guns, but yeah, I can see how it may be scary to flirt with someone that looks like me if you don’t know if I’m homophobic or not lol

          It’s very sad that people still suffer for something that shouldn’t be an issue to anyone. This hate is fed to ignorant people so they don’t focus on real issues that affect their life.

          There are some cultures where bigots are more prevalent, with ignorance and religion being the main catalysts. The US has plenty of both.

          There are bigots in my country too, but they are more oppressed because here, hate is not considered free speech and culturally, most people will ostracize you if you express divisive opinions.

          On the internet they are rampant, because of the amplification effect and perceived anonymity.

        I think society at large has a misogyny-as-default problem unfortunately. I guess most of us have been raised with biases we’re not really aware of until we reach a certain level of self-reflection.

        Sometimes I feel like Lemmy is worse than reddit in this regard. The amount of blatant misogony I see is unreal. Memes, posts, comments, it’s everywhere, often not-so-subtly too.

          Reddit has worse but it’s more contained imo. Most of lemmy browses all so we’re all just here with each other as opposed to having people cordoned off onto the red pill and female dating strategy vs trollx and similar communities.

          Women reddit is the main thing I miss

      I upvote almost everything

      I see upvote as “this is a good Lemmy post/comment” and downvote as “this is a bad Lemmy post/comment”. Most of what I see is good. Bad things are things such as misinformation, bad faith stuff / trolling, bad (in my opinion) takes, people being wrong/stupid about stuff, irrelevant things, etc. When I do not vote it’s for one of 3 reasons: either I don’t understand what it is saying, it makes a reference I don’t get, or I can’t determine whether it’s good or bad (usually because it’s unclear).

      edit: making this comment got me wondering about how other people judge posts/comments and vote, so I made a post on Ask Lemmy: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/65352983

    Some people don’t know how to deal with an overtly sexual woman. It throws them for a loop. To some people, only men are allowed to be horny. If you’re a horny woman you must be a slut who can’t control their emotions and that’s bad.

    I think it’s important for some men to realize women are people, too. I know that sounds silly to say out loud but I really think some guys think women are these completely different creatures from themselves. We’re all human and, gasp, some like to talk and joke about sex. The horror!

        It’s less that I mind or care, it’s more that seriously horny content wasn’t really a thing before. Sure, people would joke around, but actual horny-posting was limited to places you had to actively seek out (like lemmynsfw). If people don’t want to draw attention to what they say, be it good or bad, they shouldn’t say things that stick out 🤷

          i think the presumably male hornyposting takes the form of “here is an image i enjoy with no commentary,” making the subject of attraction the main focus and barely mentions the poster at all, violet’s specific brand centers violet as the main character, her feelings as central, and barely mentions the actual subject of those feelings

          so there’s a real difference

      I do hate the double standard that it’s totally fine for men to joke and talk about sex, but when a woman does it, she must be dirty in some way. I get that biologically, women have had to be more choosy with partners because for a long time, the best protection was zero insertion, or the chances of ending up with a child you didn’t want were nonzero. Things are different now. We have the pill. We have emergency contraceptives. Some of us even have access to abortions.

      Sex isn’t dirty. It’s normal and natural to want it. It’s normal to have a hard time getting it. It’s normal to be frustrated by the dating field and navigating relationships. It’s normal to feel incredibly rewarded when you do get it. And it’s normal to want to blow off steam by talking to people closest to you about your successes and failures in life. And a big part of being human is one’s own sexual exploits.

      One of my closest friends is a woman about 13 years older than me (I’m 33; she’s 46), and she’s going through menopause right now. And she’ll start talking about the difficulty it’s bringing her, and she’ll tell me, “You don’t wanna hear about all this,” or, “I know you don’t care about this.” And the truth is that I do not nor could I ever understand what she’s going through, but as a friend, I can listen to her complain about it and give her the space to vent. Even if I’ll never get it, I can just be a voice in the room to pull out some great hits like:

      • “Jeeeesus, I’m so sorry,”
      • “Yikes, that sucks,” or
      • "Haha, Fuck. That."

      As a man, I don’t always have follow up questions or advice to offer someone going through issues unique to women. But people aren’t always looking for advice. Sometimes, it’s just nice to have the space to blow off steam with a safe person.

      And that’s not dirty. It’s something we all do.

        Curious that this is your perception, while i myself have noticed a sort of inverse trend in that regard.

        Especially around these parts it is heavily frowned upon making any kind of horny or sexual comment as a dude about a woman. A surefire way to get schooled on what a misogynist objectifying dick you are (excluding literal porn community comment section of course).

        Other horny comments are much less controversial, women on men, men on men, women on women. Things you might find in the average (gay) porn comment section get upvoted on lemmy on a regular basis, im sure it’s totally ironic.

        So my personal “analysis” of recent ish lemmy online discourse would be that heterosexual men on lemmy avoid being publicly horny because of the expected blowback. That or they make an alt account.

      Considering it was only about 100 years ago that science decided that women could orgasm and weren’t just faking it to make their husbands happy…yes, the idea that a woman can be horny and is a normal human being is a shocking revelation to some (many?).

      who can’t control their emotions

      Ironic how men accuse horny women of being unable to control their emotions when it’s mostly horny men being unable to control their emotions that’s actually problematic (causing misogyny and rape)

      Many men tend to be actually too horny, they objectify women and tend to have misogynistic and patriarchal expectations.

            that I can agree with.

            nobody should be upset about getting hit on at a bar, because it’s a social gathering place generally used for hookups.

            but it’s perfectly acceptable to get upset if you’re hit on at work.

    I enjoy the posts, I’ve just always assumed this is another user doing a bit though — which is fine

    All the better if there is a real person behind this, it gives me some hope for the younger generation, and I hope nothing you encounter here makes you regret sharing who you are and what you’re going through.

    But you’re in a community that is skewing older and more early-internet, and thus most of us find it prudent to pretty much assume every identity in a community like this is partially or largely fake. I am, for example, a 4 year old Australian Shepherd in real life and my human has no clue.

    Real or fake, I enjoy my game of “Stamets or Violet” every time I see a horny or uncouth post.

          Hi.

          I post a lot.

          I started posting about 3 years ago to another instance before moving to lemmy.world and then shifting over to lemmy.dbzer0.com. I’m gay and a massive die hard Star Trek fan. I also post a fucking lot, way more in the past that I currently do. The things that I do post to shitpost communities are pretty gay or pretty horny and have similar vibes to the stuff that Violet apparently posts.

          I’ve been called a power user (which I hate), a lemmy celeb (which I hate even more) and an asshole (which is accurate). Someone also accused me of being Gallowboob (a very prominent redditor) once which was kinda funny. I’m just a known quantity.

            Neat! A pleasure to make your acquaintance.

            I’m straight and not much of a Trekkie, so that might be how I’ve failed to notice your posting thus far, but I do love a good shitpost! I vibe with your feelings about being a power user or lemmy celeb, and being a reddit refugee I find it amusing that you were accused of being Gallowboob!
