I looked over at fedinsfw and all I could think of was the titles’ attempts at being provocative or enticing and how it just seems really…lame? I’m ace so this whole subset of the site really does nothing for me.
My shower thought is just about responding to the titles neutrally.
For examples:
“Just stretching, don’t mind me”;
“oh, sorry; as you were, then. Sorry to interrupt.”
“If I sent you this by accident, what would you reply?”
“Hey I don’t think I’m the one you meant to send this to”
Asian girl waiting for your orders…
“Can I get two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip…”
Do people really get turned on by such things, or is it more that the people posting them just have to put something in the title?
Whenever I see one that’s obviously fishing I have an urge to reply in a contrarian way but I don’t bc that’s mean
Like “oh does anyone think my ass looks good?” No
The bigger thing is the thirst posts in replies though. Lemmy doesn’t have the traffic that Reddit has so nsfw doesn’t get nearly the engagement but it does still happen. And the goobers that reply, especially with weird parasocial bullshit, remind me that I do have an inner bully that just wants to say mean stuff to dorks
Yeah the urge to be a jerk is kinda there just to see what they’d say but you’re right, it’d be unkind
