      “Lewds” isn’t exclusively about kiddie creeping, but it’s hard for me to shake the association with kiddie creeping because of decades of kiddie creepers on places like 4ch!n talking about “lewds” in the way that that typically meant there. kombucha-disgust

      The word is contaminated for me, and I see it as a warning sign when someone uses it openly like that.

        The word is everywhere in weeb circles. I refuse to use it because if you’re an adult you can just use the actual words when talking about sex.

        “Lewd” is an oddly infantilizing euphemism, it’s a word you’d use when talking about sex to someone who still giggles every time you say “penis”, to whom sex is a naughty word. That’s the vibe that that word gives me and why I don’t like it.
