    Okay I gotta push back on this one. This has some really gross misogynistic shit going on. Not even undertones, just tones. I’d delete this one.

        The implication here is: girl says <drug> makes her horny, picture is of suggestively posed woman with cleavage exposed, man runs off to get drugs presumably to get sex in a transactional manner.

        I know you probably don’t mean it that way (I hope) but this attitude is far too common around me and the meme makes me uncomfortable and I have pretty thick skin and high tolerance for “horny” content. This is just really gross and kinda makes my skin crawl.

        edit: thank you for changing the bottom left image now it is actually very very funny because the context is flipped entirely. Now it’s an old guy to a young guy saying he can still get it up and have good sex with weed, guy runs off to get weed.

        And here we have a perfect example of the Maoist concept of Criticism -> Self Criticism -> Criticism.

            It did but when I clicked on my reply notifications it just dropped straight down to the comments and I didn’t notice you changed it. Good on you for speedy and positive self criticism. Honestly better than more than a few comrades I have dealt with even on hexbear where we are generally very vigilant about that sort of thing.

            Also the added layer of comedy is that this poor old guy can only get it up when high anymore (only because the hide your pain harold image was oft used to convey some sort of darker or sadder underlying message behind the smile).

    It actually is bad for me though, because it downregulates CB1 and dopamine receptors when used repeatedly, which results in degraded emotional connectedness, mood, motivation… which directly interfered with my goal of pursuing transfeminine HRT for improved emotional depth.
