This Tik Tok that just came across my FYP: “Will y’all authors stop using the word ‘cock’?? There’s so many other words!!”
Ma’am, respectfully, that is the least objectionable / most palatable word for that particular reproductive organ
and also respectfully, no, I will not stop 😂
you want me to say “dick”? that’s just caffeine-free diet “cock”
I’m sorry I have to reblog again because @artpigeons‘s tags sent me into orbit
The obsession with finding the perfect unoffensive literary replacement term for cock is how you get actual published books containing the words “throbbing manroot”
I mean, if anything our priority should be finding a sexier term for “balls.” They are all just terrible. Everyone in the history of the English language looked at balls, said, “Those things are stupid as hell,” and named accordingly.
I feel like it’s worth bringing up that in 2005, RTD introduced Captain Jack, a heroic, complex bisexual character in to his high profile revival of a beloved family show and had him kiss the male and female deuteragonists.
This was only 2 years after the repeal of Section 28 in England and Wales banning the “promotion of homosexuality” in 2003.
what is it about me sitting in my little corner of the Internet and saying “I actually don’t hate myself as an adult now and I want to be nice to people and that’s my entire thing” that makes these anons start foaming at the mouth
I’ll be perfectly honest, I’ve spent the better part of a decade wishing I weren’t fucking alive and beating depression off with a caveman’s wooden club. If I get to a point in my adult life after all that shit where I can finally say “I don’t want to see myself dead anymore, I like who I am” and you have the gall to tell me I have too much self confidence now, I’m gonna take the club I killed my depression with and I’m gonna start beating you with it
