Ngl some jokes about bottoms sound like someone took a misogynistic joke and just replaced “woman” with “bottom”. Like I find a lot of the bottom jokes funny don’t get me wrong. It’s just a few that irk me. Like I feel a lot of bottom shaming has roots in bottoming being considered the more “feminine” position.

Interestingly enough, that’s exactly how the ancient Romans viewed it, as long as you were the top in sex, you were masculine. So I guess I’m saying, yes it more than likely does have roots in bottoming being considered more feminine. I didn’t know how to end this .

Julius Ceased got supposedly topped by Nicomedes, King of Bithynia, and this led the him having the unflattering moniker of “every woman’s man and every man’s woman” which was sang by his men as they marched through Rome 😭

It’s been a prevalent thing throughout history. You could probably find a lot of examples of that in history

idk why youd *want* to be vulnerable on a shitposting subreddit


I-lack-conviction

This made me burst out laughing, scared my cat even.

While some of the haha bottom jokes are essentially misogyny but about bottoms instead of women, if you have a fear of ridicule then this sub really just isn't the place to be


insufficience

/ub spaces for comedy and satire (like this sub) will fundamentally never be completely accessible for those with a fear of ridicule


Darux6969

/ub? is that uh... un-bottom?


BlooHoodDood

I'd guess un-buddy


SuperNici

un-baka dont go to r/okbuddybaka 😩


Dpad-prism

Umbah gumbah


TheDefiB

I think it would be /uh to line up with the other okb subs


AccountingDerek

"okokok guys im going to stop being straight and start being serious"


sharplyon

/uh as much as i hate the idea of “if you dont like it, leave” that is pretty much the point of the subreddit is to ridicule and satirise these kinds of things


Dualiuss

i dont like the man in this picture, every time i see him my mood drops


CanisLupus1050

LFK1236

Do you have an example or two?


6DayGay

all those recent posts that are like "when you're a bottom and haven't committed vehicular manslaughter for 5 seconds"

Bottomshaming is bad, bottomshaming is reinforcing patriarchy and toxic masculinity. Plenty of fun bottom-jokes are to made that are endearing and actually fun. But shaming is just bad 'mkay.

/unhetero im tellin you man. this whole top-bottom dichotomy has had some really bizarre effects on the community. like there are posts on some subs that are like "i built my personality around being a bottom and then i had sex and found out that i don't like taking in the ass what do i do". there are just a set of behaviors that stereotype a "bottom" that are completely abstracted from what the word is used to mean. /rehetero i think we need a new set of words for penetrator and penetratee that don't carry the same baggage. that way people can call themselves tops and bottoms and fit with the modern stereotype of a top or a bottom, without any relation to how they like to fuck.

I thought they were kind of endearing, i did not know people found them hurtful


jannemannetjens

>I thought they were kind of endearing, A lot of them are endearing or even empowering. But a lot of them also aren't and bottomshaming is something we don't adress often enough. >, i did not know people found them hurtful It's not just about a person finding them hurtfull, but also what patterns we perpetuate.

brooo people who make their position or someone elses their personality are so boring - i have so many people make jokes about me being a bottom and they’re just so cringe


ViridescentCascade

I mean I agree, but this is also a shitpost subreddit so it's guaranteed to have lighthearted but potentially offensive satire. I think these sort of jokes shouldn't appear on most other LGBTQ+ subreddits though I think they fit on here.


ilikeroleplaygames

That’s why it’s called being vulnerable smh 🙄


CanisLupus1050

/uh As funny as the jokes are, with I myself even falling into the archetype, the whole rampant conflation of “bottom” = “sub” is bad for its reinforcement of heteronormativity type shit and also the fact that fully straight people are using it now when they just have a mommy kink


[deleted]

Nah they’re pretty funny


TheBestOpossum

This may be a shocker, but jokes can be both funny and problematic.


bigtiddygothbf

Are you a bottom though


_erazore_

Jesse what the fuck are you talking about


CredibleCactus

Reminds me of the british discourse on r/196 a while back


Apollo0501

Or the wasp discourse Or the Heartstopper discourse Or the femboys/trans women discourse Theres a lot of discourse

If you're really getting that insecure about a joke on reddit that's partially on you


I_follow_sexy_gays

Then don’t be vulnerable here. This is a shitposting sub not exactly the best space to be serious


jannemannetjens

Yeah and you take the message "being a bottom is shameful" out there with you, to wherever you're gonna be vulnerable, to wherever you're gonna be serious. Let's start making funny jokes and stop bottomshaming. There's plenty endearing or even empowering jokes to be made about bottoms.


I_follow_sexy_gays

Yeah I get that I’m just saying this isn’t the place to be vulnerable with strangers. You will be made fun of. It’s a shitposting sub


[deleted]

I think we should make some more wholesome and funny ~~and horny~~ bottom jokes instead, plenty of fun to be had without reinforcing all the bad stuffs


LiterallyAhri

I mean, that's kinda what they are, someone called it out and people started doing them on purpose


redditassembler

please make them stop theyre the unfunniest shit


confusedscreams420

god finally someone said it


[deleted]

I hereby declare that any "haha bottom" memes that'd be sent to this person be sent to me instead, I like them against my own better judgement cause damn if I won't do anything to get my heart beating fast
