Seems the country is not aligned with the views on Lemmy.
What if it’s the horse? Still probably not on the same level. What if it wasn’t consensual? Now it gets trickier…
It’s always sex stuff that gets Americans worked up.
America has, since inception, been absolutely fine with violence, often celebrating it, and completely disgusted with sexuality. It’s perhaps the single most backwards thing about North American culture, imo.
But what do you expect out of a society whose entire history is “we wanted to go somewhere else, so we came to this place and killed the natives that got in our way.”
It’s fascinating that a country where a place like Hooters is normal and strip clubs are a socially acceptable place to hang out in is so worked up over sex things
But only when it’s consensual. It’s okay when that gets violent and exploitative.
I think it’s the fact that Trump acts and surrounds himself with homophobic people so the idea of him giving head to his enemy he’s openly complained about is hilarious to no end. That and the actual implications with Putin holding the photos over his head.
Exactly this
Horses can’t consent
I mean, there’s no way, but hooooooooly fuuuuuuck.
Let’s just take the W on this one, ok?
I dunno what y’all will win, it’s certainly a good laugh;
There is nothing more damaging to the narcissistic dictator’s fragile ego than emasculation. Let us merely hope that the hits keep coming.
It isn’t the consensual sex, it is the context of Putin potentially having pics and Epstein being fully aware of it and the blackmail that goes along with that. Plus Trump is a fragile narcissist so keeping it in the news is funny.
Also how personal Trump’s hate for Hilary definitely has jealous lover overtones now.
I don’t think anyone but his homophobic followers thinks negatively about the BJ itself.
Polls suggest that this is a minority position. Just because it makes sense to you and me doesn’t mean that’s where most people are. 😟
What polls are asking about the blowjob?
i’m pretty sure they don’t do polls that quickly
I wonder how quickly Trump did Bill’s pole
Hey now… Nothing ever said or implied it was consensual. For all we know Bubba didn’t want Donald to suck his dick.
Have you seen Bubba’s smirk? It’s unreasonable to expect The Don control his urges when around such a powerful male.
Fair! Imagine if bubba was out of it, and this is how he finds out it happened! 😲
Consent is important. Like, above all else. But also, if a woman wanted to suck my dick, like any time, for any reason, no matter the surroundings… I’m in. Wait, I just gave consent!
anytime? Like what if you just found out about your loved one’s passing?

Thinking that Lemmy is representative of anything besides Lemmy is at least a little funny to me, I’m sorry. If it was a representation of the country, then Putin might have a good shot running for president.
Woah woah woah, don’t you go lumping me in with the goofballs over in .ml
But those goofballs are the ones who created and maintain Lemmy.
Try piefed 😄
And? Shitty people create and maintain a good portion of the world. They aren’t wholly representative of the users of their product.
There’s a joke about mod of r/jailbait in here somewhere
meanwhile i was aiming for a tasteful poop joke
So? Should we uphold the tradition? Keep it “pure?” Fuck that noise.
Which polls?
Nobody confirmed it was consensual or with a guy tbf. Could have been that horse
The issue is that Americans on the Left would be offended to learn that their political leader was a complete hypocrite, so they assume that Americans on the right would feel the same way. Meanwhile, the truth is that Americans on the Right only pretend to have moral standards, while in actuality, they will simply follow their leaders regardless of what they do.
I don’t think that is an exlusively american thing though.
so they assume that Americans on the right would feel the same way
Hum… They seem to be reacting quite strongly to finding out their leader is a hypocrite.
They just care about him being a hypocrite on different things.
You think they’re freaking out now, imagine if it turned out it was Obama getting the BJ.
now i know why he was so mad at the white house correspondent’s dinner. jilted again (first bill, then barry)
Specifically they care about him being a hypocrite about having gay sex. Emphasis on the “having gay sex” part. Actually they don’t care about him being a hypocrite.
It ain’t zesty with your bestie
American whites, raping children is a o k. but consensual same sex between adults is wrong?
It’s disgusting to contemplate, but between Dershowitz and Megyn Kelly’s recent comments, I’m starting to think that MAGAs don’t really think of anyone over the age of 14 as “children.” 😡
Applies only to girls. Men in their 20s and 30s are still boys though.

Unless they’re being sent into a war. Then at 18 they’re men.
Yep, they pivoted from “He isn’t a pedophile” as a denial of him raping minors to “He isn’t a pedophile” as a denial that raping minors is pedophilia.
Republicans were always the pro pedophilia party though. look at all the laws that allow adult men to marry and rape children. https://www.walkfree.org/news/2025/child-marriage-remains-legal-in-the-united-states-as-global-leaders-backtrack-on-gender-equality/
Black people voted for trump even harder. Glass house much?
This isn’t even close to being true. 83% of black voters backed Harris in 2024, with 15% voting for Trump. That’s notable because it’s a significant decrease from Biden receiving 92% of the black vote, but whites are the only major racial group of which the majority voted for Trump in 2024.
“Even harder” is relative (to Biden, for instance), which your data just confirms.
The oldest girft, insinuate a group will gain privileges by hurting another, and they all end up fucked.
Divide and conquer.
Yeah, libs have been very open about homophobia and ableism since Trump was elected and they had a crisis that warranted a suspension of the performance. Statistically, we know most men in the US are complacent with or perpetrators of sexual violence and a significant amount – even the majority in some places – fetishize youth and teen women. For Americans, it really is more reputation destroying to have done queer shit than to be a rapist pedophile (this includes “ephebophiles,” sorry).
They’re not going to get mad about racism and genocide, it isn’t even going to be on their minds because they don’t actually oppose the underlying values that facilitate those policies currently. They will make a show of anti-racism and constitution protection so long as it remains a rhetorical response exclusively.
