Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.
Rules:
-
Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.
-
Respect one another.
-
All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.
-
Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.
Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

I have to grapple with where I stand with prostitution.
On one hand legalising prostitution probably prevents higher incidence of sexual violence because at least the “horny” component underpinning sexual violence has been dealt with safely
On the other hand, it’s sad to see people get strung along in these arrangements where it clearly looks like they’re being taken advantage of. (Emotionally lead on to believe they have something special)
However it may be “sad” to us the observers; but maybe this illusion is the best some of these people could hope for.
I feel like some of the arguments against prostitution ("it's degrading", "it's unsafe", "it leads to trafficking") also apply to other jobs, but they don't get the same big emotional response. Probably because our society has unhealthy ideas about sex and women.
I would say that violence out of sexual frustration weighs more heavily on me than people spending money on a fantasy of a relationship.
It does for me too but I haven’t concluded it’s the optimal outcome
