There is no bottom.

There's always more barrel to scrape. And then there's the floor. And then there's the ground beneath the floor. And then there's miles of bedrock.

That's what you're talking about, right?

They're probably both bottoming for Putin

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 5 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

That's a hard sandwich to build, you obviously have Putin as the top piece of bread, but is Trump the meat in this sandwich or is it Musk, whose the bottom bread? And how does Netanyahu fit in to this?

While telling them all what to do.

Musk. I'm pretty sure Trump's ding a ling can't get any firmer than an overripe banana nowadays.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 4 points 11 hours ago

Cheers for making me think about trumps limp dick, I didn't feel like eating this week anyway.

[–] Kitathalla@lemy.lol 8 points 14 hours ago

I mean, I bet trump is pretty lubed on a consistent basis, with his uncontrollable, oh so very wet sounds he makes. I'll put money on him being the bottom.

Like Ernst Röhm and Adolf Hitler. We know how that ended for both losers.

I think the more accurate parallel is Henry Ford and Woodrow Wilson, unfortunately.

Careful kids, the thought police are out in force today. Don't say anything that might be deemed offensive by <some group I'm not part of> at some point in history!

I think it’s reasonable to ask why bottoming is presented as inherently degrading/submissive. (Same with giving oral - the insult “cocksucker.”) The vast majority of gay men I know are mostly verse anyway, the distinction of top and bottom to some extent seems like a carryover from heterosexual culture.

Like yes, it’s just a meme, but it’s revealing of larger problematic attitudes. I’ve made the same kinds of jokes too, but there would be nothing worse about Trump were he to receive anal sex from Musk (as unpleasant as that image is.)

Just a take look at history and how it all worked back in the Antiquity/Rome, which half the Internet likes to celebrate as gay friendly. It's fairly ingrained in European culture/history.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

The “Nazi femboy” phenomenon seems to harken back to that. Patriarchal structures aren’t undermined as long as the receptive partner is submissive/feminine.

Yes, it is. But it's up to the bottom to decide how they wish to be represented. Not for some self-appointed language police on the internet to decide for them. Among people I know there is a wide variety of attitudes about this but it's absolutely universal that top/bottom/switch (or verse as you say) is indeed a power dynamic (that's kinda the point for many) but only in that moment. It's not a reflection of inferiority or weakness and it's funny to me that people would think that. Makes me think they haven't ever been involved in any type of BDSM activities.

Like yes, it’s just a meme, but it’s revealing of larger problematic attitudes.

Who gets to decide what attitudes are "problematic"?

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

I spent almost a decade of my life in TPE. Please do not lecture me about BDSM.

The acts themselves are not inherently submissive, and most kinksters I knew were uncomfortable with that suggestion.

I am deciding to express my discomfort with the terminology - that’s a decision I can make. I am a bottom, and submissive even! But I could also present the activity as dominant - in that I am lying back and expecting someone to provide me with pleasure. I have even “topped” individuals in a submissive way.

The meme is clearly presenting receptive anal sex as inherently degrading, which is a common narrative.

Haha. Sex between men is a power dynamic. Teehee. Real intimacy is unattainable between male lovers. Giggle. Pleasure from anal sex is shameful.

Trump is willing to Bottom because Elon really really wants to Top.
