    As a mostly straight dude, my guess is that it means “please be nice to me but also be mean to me when I ask nicely.”

    Or maybe I’m just projecting. 🤫

    Ok, clearly the joke isn’t aimed at me, and I get the “use your words part” that’s pretty funny. But I don’t get the “I don’t speak bottom”

      There are personality stereotypes associated with topping (giving) and bottoming (receiving) during sex. The stereotype is typically that tops are more dominant, sometimes masc, and bottoms are submissive, flustered messes. Doesn’t always pan out that way in real life of course

      “bottom” as in “person who receives penetration during sex”

        Ok that makes sense, but opens up more questions.

        Is blonde hair using it to insult brown hair? Is blonde hair communicating the desire to penetrate brown hair? Is brown hair actually a bottom? How does blonde hair actually penetrate brown hair, if at first glance blonde is a woman? Is this a BDSM thing?

        I feel so out of the loop

          Here are the answers in order:

          Possibly, but sounds more like a statement of fact to me. Probably not but who knows.Likely, you saw the 🥺. Pegging, or just having a penis. Not necessarily.

    This got me looking at the historule. lol

    I missed the drama, but I don’t care. Mods are janitors. Communities can’t be owned unless only 1 person has posted within them. I am a janitor for 3d printing at LW. I have every right to attempt to start a 3d printing community elsewhere but never to lock, move, or hold the community hostage.

    I also think the internet in general tends to fail at acknowledging mistakes, and how we are all capable of growth, flux, or regression.

    You can’t change the past. So worrying about it does no good. Words and intentions are worthless, actions are what matter. So be the best version of yourself now and in the future.

      For this comment, I’m declaring that you should NEVER moderate a community ever again /s
