        was one of the things I thought of too but fet (and also dating/meeting apps) has a longstanding problem of people catfishing. on balance, suspect this form is the more likely case

          As someone too cowardly to explore their kinks. I lack context. Now you have provided data to reinforce my reticence.

            it’s … not endemic, in the sense of “you’ll hit it every 3 profiles” (because fet community + platform seems to do a reasonably good job of handling it from reports etc), but you can see why it’s the type of thing that creeps and predators go for

            igwym re exploration. comfort, safety, trust, consent - all key. never do anything you don’t want to :)

      valuable datapoint (in the scope of llms being used for scams and shit) but perhaps not quite the right post to reply to about that, tbh

      You get that moderating this with the reason of simply, “no,” comes off as homophobic, right?
