Rickrolling is the gentle, kind, prosocial descendant of what we used to do on the internet, which was putting a redirect to goatse in every possible misspelling of a url (lemmy.today)

I never got the lemon party one. “Oh no, old man sex? How terrible!” Unless I bore witness to dismemberment, irl vore, or extremely violent sexual or psychological perversion, it rarely stuck with me.

This sounds like someone with internet experience.

Imagine seeing it without that much exposure to other things and potentially at a young age.

“This is terrible. Someday my ballsack will be 3 feet long. I can’t bear the weight of that knowledge.”

I dunno, I understood fellatio and homosexuality at a young age, during a fairly homophobic time. I imagine it wouldn’t have bothered me immensely. Maybe I would have asked my parents and been beaten for it, but I’d remember the beating more than the old men.

But the video of someone nailing their penis to a board, or the vagina cactus clips would have fucked me up. God forbid I watched the mantis video or 2 guys 1 hammer.

It was an earlier time and being gay was a lot less okay.

I mean it's the same with shit like meatspin. It's w/e, just some penis, but back then showing someone something gay? waow what a funny prank, ewww I don't wanna see something gay.

Small reminder of how far we've come. Or rather, how far we haven't, since I imagine people would have the same reaction today.

I mean, meat spin was less about the gay and more about full experience. Spinning penis to a loud song about spinning. It’s goofy and visible. Or, at least that was how I perceived it.

It was definitely a lot about the gay.
