    He was implying that the person who wrote this is a baby.

    Maybe "wearing a bib", or "shaking a rattle" would be a better phrase to use next time

    Regardless, I am sure his intention wasn't to cause offense to people who are incontinent.

      I know, probably, and I'm sure... I mean, I play into that stigma sometimes myself, in fact I was initially going to write that first comment as a parody of "Don't Be a Sucker" -- but I stopped for a moment and figured that I might as well take the initiative to point out the real stigma against adult diapers while I thought about it, because that stigma does affect a lot of people and that could very well include many of us some day.

      The problem is of course that it's one of those stigmas where nobody really wants to challenge it precisely because it is so normalized, so bringing it up at all feels weird, forced, mood-killing, or even "suspicious".

        To be fair, I am very certain that they didn't mean adult diapers but rather very large baby diapers. In the context of these jokes, the people mocked are figurative babies, some weirdo conservatives charlie-kirk emulating babies, or adult fetishists emulating babies (ABDL, etc.). Adult incontinence issues are absolutely not a part of it.

            And yes by the way, I DO have an "ironic" "shitposting" tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the fella's eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 2 Bristol Stool Chart tiers of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
