    CW: sexual content

    I honestly don't know what kink I was venting when I came up with the idea of vending machines selling disposable fleshlights disguised as knock-off soda cans, complete with public health messages in place of the list of ingredients; where the idea is that after you nut in the can you can close it back up and then put it in a reverse vending machine to get sorted and sent to some sperm bank for use in IVF, epidemiology, medical research, demographics, and forensics

    Like, that definitely feels like the sort of thing that would come from a kink, yet at the same time I do not think there is a single soul on Earth who finds the idea of nutting in a Mr. Peter and putting it in a TOMRA machine to be at all arousing

        OK, TrashGoblin finds the idea of nutting in a Mr. Peter and putting it in a TOMRA machine to be arousing, more power to him

        I mean, I could start with the bit over ten thousand years ago where some lakeside village by chance discovered that they could use the shit of the larvae of a moth fed on a certain type of normally poisonous weed to induce abortions and suppress their menstrual cycles, but long story short: I needed to figure out how to get a large quantity of cum to the sperm banks, without the sperm banks knowing whose cum it is, with the added restriction that people would not under normal circumstances simply give away their own cum for free.

            Do you really need it explained to you how being part of a group does not preclude one from being prejudiced or biased against that group, or from perpetuating harmful attitudes about it? It's not like discussions of things like self-fetishization or self-hatred are new to "oriental" communities, "self-orientalism" is literally already a widely used term with nearly four million results on Google.

            Hell, you literally struck through the words "probably in Japan" in the removed comment, that's basically the Internet equivalent of "I'm just saying what we're all thinking" — so I'm sure you already know on some level that "weird Japan" articles showing off things like used schoolgirl panty vending machines are basically just written for westerners to gawk at how "bizarre, hypersexual and loose in morals" their platonic ideal of the "far east" is.

              Go ahead and please explain to the Korean how they're orientalist from a white person's perspective

                Well, I'm not going to talk if you don't want to listen, so maybe you want to schedule a tribunal with a jury of your peers first...

                  You're in for a bad time because my Korean peers are going to make my remarks seem as good natured as the Scots making fun of Welsh in comparison to the wild shit they'll say about the Japanese

                    [from the distance] It would seem so!


                    So I take it you're actually from Korea rather than in the Korean diaspora? I was honestly kinda figuring that from the start before you even said you were Korean at all, but I'd just like to confirm.

                    I would genuinely like to discuss topics like nationality and so forth with you some time, I hope this hasn't caused any sort of lasting animosity despite disagreements and differing perspectives.

                      Korean diaspora, lived in korea multiple times - just under the legal time limits before the paperwork bureaucratic bullshit that the u.s shovels on you for extended stays outside the u.s every time - my entire life so I've seen the transformation of Seoul from an industrialized city with colonial occupation era remnants into an international metropolis, would've been a dual citizen but wasn't for reasons I won't disclose, etc.

                        Very interesting. So what's that bureaucratic BS you mention? Just stuff like taxes, absentee ballots, passports, that sort of thing? That's all I've ever really heard my own mom complain about.

                          Taxes, federal and state social services eligibility, and some financial audit shit when I got old enough to do my own paperwork

      I do not think there is a single soul on Earth who finds [literally anything] to be at all arousing

      This is just an objectively incorrect statement
