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)

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.
