Even among leftists, the AES countries are a sore subject. Most leftcoms, libcoms, trots, hoxhaists, and maoists are critical of places like the DPRK (if they don't just outright reject them in their entirety.)

don't forget the red-scare propaganda, almost exactly as told by the far-right

Why not? Is sucking dick bad or demeaning in some way?

It's generally seen as a submissive act to do it to someone else. There's nothing inherently wrong with it, just like there's nothing inherently wrong with wanting to lick your partner's feet. However performing a submissive act of that nature on someone who doesn't deserve it is questionable and kinda sad.

Inb4 "ur homophobic"

A) I'm not taking an accusation like that from someone who's username is mathemachristian

B) I literally told my girlfriend the other day that when I visit her I'm going to suck her dick so hard she'll think she had bottom surgery. IDK what the fuck that was supposed to mean, but she liked it.

Edit: I've seen people try to set that trap before. It's a cheap way to "gotcha" someone and is usually used to try and accuse them of being homophobic (something about sucking dick being something only gay men do, which isn't even remotely true lol). I see people resort to stuff like that when they don't have anything of more substance. It also ignores that the potential that the user themselves is gay.

Yes.

Please.

Tell me how I, a transbian, am homophobic.

Edit 2: apparently people thought I was saying "you don't have to suck their dick just because they're questionably communist" was supposed to be an insult? No, it's not the act itself lmao. I've sucked cock and I've been told I'm very good at it, and that's not something I shy away from. Nor is there anything wrong with being a sub. I'm a really subby furry ffs. No, it's the idea that someone would suck an authoritarian's dick is what I find issue with. It's not the what, it's the who. Just like I'd be very concerned if you were sucking off Trump; however if you said you wanted to suck off some widely loved political figure or celebrity then I'd be all for it.

Are you trying to tell me you did not mean "suck their dick" in an insulting way like "lick their boot"? That you meant it in an actually very sex-positive way?

[–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social -3 points 21 hours ago

I just meant "quit pleasuring an authoritarian shithead".

Are you trying to tell me that you thought I was saying that sucking dick is inherently a bad thing? I'm a fucking furry. Are you actually serious right now? It's not the act, it's who you're doing it to, ffs.

Yes we already know that societally it's employed as a homophobic and highly sexualized demeaning slur. Everything you wrote after is just apologizing for your use of it.

If it's not homophobic because women can also suck dick, provide a single example of this attack being deployed on a woman.

[+] MossyFeathers@pawb.social -7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm a woman. I've been told to stop sucking someone's dick, and someone told another friend to stop doing it to me. And before you ask, no, I don't have screenshots because I'm not a weirdo who feels the need to record every VC/VRC conversation I have.

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This clarification feels tedious but apparently necessary: a political attack made in public.

I wonder if you'd defend the f-slur as not being homophobic because some gay friends of mine might use it subversively. That is not in the context you were asked for an example.
