Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Honestly it just reminds me of the moral panic over "cock ring Ken."

(also amusing in this context to note that his earring is in his left ear, so I'm not sure even the homophobes were consistent about this)
I actually always figured it was based in the same logic as flagging. Beware; extremely NSFW link about sex and BDSM.
