I am laughing thinking in the bottom it is clean and then slowly becoming uncut on top. So basically a little tongue like flap on top of the head
Is this joke about a pubic hairstyle featuring a length gradient?
This is a joke about their Circumcision scar having a length gradient.
Oh no, looks like I'll have to look up a dick pic to understand.
Is the scar length varying along its... length?
If anyone is wondering: the artist goes by the name of thisstupidtwink on IG
All my homies hate circumcision
Growing up I was made to feel weird for not being cut.
Turns out every girl I've dated / been with doesn't care (except one, but she was toxic in every single way possible).
So I guess it wasn't as big of a deal as I was led to believe.
I kind of prefer men uncut, but that's not like something that factors in when picking a partner.
I was the same. My father and brothers cut, not me. Nobody to teach me how to use it, take care of it, etc. In the end, I got cut because I had a problem with continual yeast infections. I far prefer it cut compared to uncut.
I thought this would be the case for me, but when we decided not to for our son, only one person we knew agreed with it. The crazy part is most people would start by saying something along the lines of "ooh it's a boy, how's it going down there?" Like they feel bad about it. But when I tell them we didn't suddenly its all about hygiene and aesthetics.
Also surprised at how many people asked about it...
The hygiene thing is so bizarre, it's not hard to peel the thing while showering for like 3 seconds. Boys peel the thing very regularly anyway...
The hygiene thing is a myth. Yeah it can get dirty if you ignore cleaning it but no more so than any other body part. It's basically entirely a post-hoc rationalization from people who had it done to them when they were babies and weren't told it was because way back when some Puritan dipshits thought it might keep teenage boys from "being sinful" in their youth.
My cousin-in-law died of an infection picked up from a medically unnecessary circumcision procedure.
Before having a boy I was leaning towards preferring not to circumcise purely because it seems wild to take a new born baby that basically can't take any medications and is so vulnerable for the first few weeks, but we will do a cosmetic surgery. Then I started learning more about the surgery and the effects and risks and it became a "hell no!"
I'm not cut, and same with my son. Why do people ask so much I will never know. I think the third (or fourth I can't remember) time I was asked I responded with "My parents were kind enough to not mutilate me, why would I mutilate him?"
Then I responded with "Well, I'm not" after that. Seemed to be an effective way to jolt them into rethinking it.
As EmptySlime says, people ask because they have an irrational belief that must be socially normalized via basically peer pressure, otherwise they'd have to confront their cognitive dissonance and realize that they are mistaken and needlessly cruel.
Its basically the same dynamic as children bullying poor kids that can't afford whatever the 'cool' clothes or shoes are, the same dynamic as many (not all, but many) religious people being literally unable to conceive of a person being able to be a generally morally good person without believing in a God as the source of that morality.
Its an irrational worldview that is logically unstable if interrogated, thus it must be reinforced via pressured social norms.
My oldest had to have one for medical reasons. He had the option of attempting to deal with it without surgery but decided he didn't want to deal with that.
Doing that to a baby for no good reason is despicable and I hate forever the 19th century prudes that decided it would be a good way to keep teenage boys from choking the chicken.
It's very cool that your son had the option. I'm glad he is healthy.
Yeah, I wish he didn't have to suffer through the recovery. The poor boy was miserable from the soreness. Still says the surgery was worth not having to do the other stuff so no complaints from me.
Ok, I think this is actually the funniest webcomic I've seen in a decade.
Thats a fucking good joke, damn.
Oh look it has tassels!
Ya about that.
My fucking doctor must of been drunk (it was the 50’s, need I say more?) Botched completely. Did not notice until 15. Way too late to blame or sue. Oh well.
Aaaggh that reminds me I need a haircut
If it had a fade, would it be faded like this... or like this....

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
