I have no issue with oral sex between consenting adults. But this meme would not be as well received if the genders were reversed. It's hard to even imagine someone posting "always be there for your man in a time of crisis" with the woman going down on the guy.
I agree that it would look quite different with the genders reversed. However, gender equality is not like mathematical equality, where every situation needs to be reversible.
Women have traditionally been less sex-positive and less dominant, which many consider indicators of a lack of true gender equality, so a progressive community will celebrate a reversal of that.
Bad behavior is still bad behavior, regardless of who's doing it. The oppressed engaging in the same behavior as their former oppressors is not equality, it's just more oppression.
I guess the problem is the assumption that the man is consenting. A meme is not a place to go for realistic depictions of sex, though. I think this one is playing off that to create conflict/engagement.
Everyone here will pretend they would be fine with it now that you called out the hypocrisy. Or they'll argue men deserve it as some kind of "payback", in which case it's really not about equality of course.
I'm sorry, they'll argue that men deserve what as a form of payback? Cause you're phrasing it like there's some kind of discrmination or persecution against men going on here and I fail to see it.
I didn't understand your comment at first because I thought the cartoons were both women. (I guess the one on the right had a bit of facial hair and masculine features.)
Switching it to two guys wouldn't make a difference but I can see how male-left, female-right might look worse. But it really shouldn't.
It's a short cartoon. I read it as a playful, consenting couple having fun with each other. I don't think it's one partner luring the other in on false pretenses of an emergency and forcing them to perform oral sex. The gender arrangement shouldn't affect that.
Unless you have proof, this claim of yours is simply a fantasy.
In fact, you can find plenty of spaces online where memes like this one, but with the genders reversed, are shared and well liked and sometimes they even mean what they depict unironically.
Actually, this very posts proofs you wrong, since yours and the comment "Bonk" (which just means "too horny") are the top liked comments.
It really does seem like you just want to soapbox an opinion.
You can find spaces online for literally any position you like.
I concede your point that my comment got upvoted but 1) I didn't know how many upvotes it would get before I commented and 2) The post itself is still heavily upvoted. I'm just offering a dissenting opinion to the post's popularity; I'm not on a soapbox.
If you look back through my comment history, I had a looong nostalgia trip with another Lemmy user about the good ol’ days.
I still miss playing RO, but I usually go back and play on a pserver once a year around December. I just crave killing Elder Willows for some Dead Branches so I can fight random monsters :)
While we're on the topic. Everybody needs to read a book about pleasuring their partners.
