    I will defend the volcel vanguard with my dying breath. It's nice to have a space online where things don't have to instantly be terminally horny.

    There is a puritanical strain of leftism though which can be pretty cringe.

      I don't get this volcel business. Is there like a level of irony to it I'm somehow not online enough to get

        It's to keep the space normal and non-horny so people (especially women, trans comrades, etc) don't feel weirded out and have sex pests in their DMs constantly. It evolved into a running gag, because that's the most effective way to make sure people actually stick to it in terminally online spaces.

          It also neatly avoids the many problems that crop up when you want to have horny comms (cumms)

          But the idea that non-horny is normal is, itself, a relic of puritanism. Keeping out sex pests is one thing, but it also keeps out good posts like @autismdragon@hexbear.net 's posts of cute anime girls and boys which keep getting removed.

              Uhm mods, Kars is the ultimate lifeform meaning he can't die and therefore has no biological need to reproduce and thus has no sex or gender, therefore any image of Kars cannot violate any rules regarding pornography nerd

          “sex is bad and weird” emits a lot weirder vibes than “don’t be a creep to unconsenting people on a forum where minors could be present”

              Me too, I think I have a slightly different perspective from seeing people unironically identify as Volcel on Reddit though
