    Understandable! I’m really not justifying whatever is up with the JoJo post and didn’t follow what happened with Twink, I’ve just seen what happens when horny stuff isn’t quashed and it’s very, very bad. I wouldn’t call it puritanical because it’s not that sex or horniness is itself wrong or should have any shame, just that socialist spaces benefit from a detachment from horny posting, sexualizing each other, acting as a dating pool, etc.

    Having a culture against that means you can head off the development of things that push the real boundaries. It’s not that a random bonk necessarily prevented an immediate case of harassment, but that is hard for things to go farther. Folks won’t innocently think, “oh yes this is a good forum for complimenting that person’s ass maybe they’ll send me some pics of I ask” because there is no culture anywhere near that here. Not that I’d be surprised if that still happens, it just wouldn’t happen accidentally.
