        It’s fine if you like licking boots, I don’t kink shame unless they are Nazi boots.

        It’s a joke made on a shitpost. Go take your Nazi apologizing elsewhere.

          Yes sure I may have overreacted a bit and I get how it connects to the topic on some level, but I’m starting to feel that some people just have to use every opportunity to say how XY is actually something a nazi would do (even if 99% of people do said thing) and then get a bajillion upvotes because people live in an echo chamber.

            Okay, wow. Did you know that the Nazis also had pet peeves? You probably even love your dog and dislike indoor smoking, just like hitler.

            /j I’m sorry if this actually distresses you.

          Let’s see which boxes I check

          likes any right wing figure at all - no

          is left wing - yes

          likes twitter - no

          thinks genocide would solve stuff - no

          wants to give tax breaks to billionaires - no

          thinks random offtopic mentions of all twitter users being bootlickers are destructive - yes

          thinks it’s also useless virtue signaling and just a giant circlejerk - yes

          obvious nazi

            thinks random offtopic mentions of all twitter users being bootlickers are destructive - yes

            All I can read is “thinks it’s pointless to remind people that Twitter is a Nazi bar”

            You can think it’s destructive all you want, but Twitter IS destructive, and the bootlickers who still frequent it are contributing to the destruction of our culture by fucking Nazis.

            thinks it’s also useless virtue signaling and just a giant circlejerk - yes

            Yet you’re virtue signalling in the opposite direction, effectively tacitly defending Twitter and it’s Nazi owner.

            Pardon me if I shit on anyone with your opinion, because the last thing we need is a pro-twitter circle jerk. There are already enough Nazis in the Internet, we don’t need to accidentally pill more people because we want to cry about shit in the Internet.

              This is actually a pretty good arguement. As for me virtue signaling I didn’t notice that, but even if that is true on some level, I don’t really think it’s hypocritical to remind people not to tell other people what to do, despite that being telling someone what to do.

              Also some more refined thoughts about what I meant: I get that twitter is a cesspool, but everyone at least here knows that. I just thought that was a really weird topic to bring up on this post out of the blue. Yes everyone knows it’s run by the Nazi Man. It’s not very constructive to fixate on that in a community where everyone is already of that opinion, because it turns the conversation into a circlejerk. Yes obviously people will upvote someone calling twitter a collection of Nazi bootlickers on Lemmy and I’m tired of that. Because it is virtue signaling is what it is and everyone who upvotes it is also taking part in that and feeling good about it for some weird reason. It’s not something people should do, because that’s not the constructive part of criticizing Twitter or Elon, it’s just the echo chamber part of it where nothing of importance happens, instead people who are part of it will spend their time with reinforcing eachother’s already pretty well reinforced ideas.

              Throwing around the term nazi misdirectedly devalues the term/accusation/identifier Nazi and therefore helps actual nazis in need of being called out. Words have power and meaning.

                This is gonna surprise you, but Nazis were a really large group full of lots of different people with different values and ideals. What unified them was their support and defense of the Nazi party.

                You have spent every comment in this thread defending Nazis.

                These are just simple facts.

    I genuinely don’t know much about puppy play other than knowing what pup hoods look like (and even then, for all I know the two things are entirely unrelated), but if you have to ask that question you probably should knot engage with or talk about puppy play

          Based on the pawb.social yeah they are a furry. However the overlap between furs and pups is very much a thing.

            Yeah, I’m being tongue in cheek pretending that pup, furry, and bear aren’t often just the same type of person in different moods.

              Okay so maybe I don’t know what a bear is. I didn’t think a bear was acting like anything, or trying to be an animal (outside of human), but was just a bigger guy who might be hairy

                Back at the beginning of the modern LGBT umbrella, gays were given the stereotype of all being hookup obsessed kinky motorcycle enthusiasts, the ‘leather daddy and boi’ look. It’s good to look tough when protesting for your right to exist.

                Around the 90s the jazzercise fit athletic picky eater gay became a trope on television - your classic twink.

                The problem with both those poster boy stereotypes is they’re both positioned as kinda in-your-face and combative, so gays that just wanted to live life emerged - fat, unthreatening, and likely to invite you to their BBQ - the modern bear.

                Meanwhile, the internet is just becoming a thing and in the early days ‘nobody on the internet knows if you’re a dog’ as the expression goes. Without a corporal body as reference, people are reduced to their chosen name/handle, their profile pic and whatever thoughts they posted. Internet culture filled the gaps with anime girls and cats - creating the perfect culture for mascot suiting to evolve into a new niche.

                Finally, pup play stems from the biker boi kink of gimp play (sensory deprivation), someone stitched leather ears onto a gimp hood to reduce a (consensual adult) person to ‘just an obedient animal’ with the original look meant to dehumanize and anonymize. Ironically this play has gone through radical transformations and softened as most modern pup hoods are colorful expressions of individuality. Today pup play is a great sampler platter of kinks and adult activities in general (including many that are family friendly). It’s a great way for stressed adults to step away from adulting for an evening and just play.

                Also, don’t take my description as fully gospel, all of these movements are complicated with regional variations, and since these are generally voluntary labels and useful stereotypes, you’ll find plenty of people who see these differently or wish to gatekeep, etc. So take this all with grains of salt

    Even worse, she receives a right to pee on the street, while if you were to pee there, you would’ve been fined

    I’ve grown content with the fact there are some aspects of the human experience I will never know first hand or need to know, and that’s ok.

    I always make sure to nod or high-five the person I see in the puppy mask at shows sometimes, then leave them to their mysterious doings. Sometimes, it’s good enough to know a door exists - you don’t always have to open it.

    First read through, I thought ‘puppy play’ meant literally playing with your puppy.

    …you should be able to play with your puppy without feeling the need to fuck them. Your puppy isn’t the problem here.
