What's wild is how this is very upvoted, but let's say it was a woman who made a tweet and someone commented that they would go down on her for her service. That would get removed and certainly no one would just fucking let it pass. Gross as hell.

CW: Sex topics and gender norms i guess?

My uneducated opinion is that when men do that to women online there is an unstated threat of force. Especially taking into account the mainstream (misogynist) narrative that sex is something men do TO women and not WITH women. So to me it seems like flipping the genders is not strictly an actual parallel between the two situations.

All that said, i honestly also believe that thirst comments should be stricken down by the volcel police. On the other hand, I do feel somewhat obligated to support womens rights and wrongs, including weird internet comments that are not made in good taste

However this fails to address any type of intersectionality. Because white women sexually objectify men of colour as a historical weapon of oppression. Able-bodied people sexually objectify disabled men as a historical weapon of oppression. To say that sexually objectifying strangers is okay as long as they meet x-y-z criteria is absolutely ridiculous. Just poor taste misogyny masquerading as "feminism" because it's being done to men now. The same nonsense as girlboss feminism or whatever.

ALSO completely ignores that men can be (and are) victims of sexual harassment and assault, and you are potentially sexually objectifying someone who has survived such experiences. This also fuels the attitude that men are always perpetrators and thus cannot be victims, which makes a really toxic environment that alienates men who have been survivors who feel they are not taken seriously because they, as men, are inherently unable to be objectified and aggressed upon. Really icky behaviour to excuse with jokes

EDIT: and don't get me started on how inappropriate it would be to say shit like this about an asexual person who is sex averse

STOP OBJECTIFYING PEOPLE, it's chud behaviour no matter the reason or direction

He's also co-host of the-podcast (citation needed), I don't think this is solely about the guy's posting ability.
