Sour Sunday

I don’t want to be dramatic, but I’m done with showerbeer now. I absolutely agree with the rules for this sub. You get some real sleaze on the comments and people don’t realise how offputting they’re being. The Gone Wild sub is for that... stuff. But it has gone too far. I look at the early days and the sleaze would be downvoted but you’d also have people often giving the OP very subtle, non-predatory, cleverly worded compliments on their clearly displayed naked body, alongside a comment about the beer, and they’d get plenty of upvotes, because people could see the non-serious, humorous side to the situation.

I get that people might be getting tired of the sleaze. I get it. I am too. But actually look at my downvoted comment. This is a truly beautiful woman pictured her, picturing herself purposefully in a way that hugely accentuates her beauty. What have I actually said? It’s such a reserved, innocent comment, with a little bit of humour towards the rules of the sub. That’s all.

It’s not that I’m sensitive to getting downvoted, it’s more that this sub has become a stepping-on-eggshells, much-too-serious and somber for the actual content, joyless sub. I don’t want sleaze at all. Just... a little freedom to be subtle and humorous, and to appreciate this genially funny and beautiful thing we’re all participating in. I’m going to unjoin the sub, it’s just more sad now than fun
