CNC
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
I'm down.
Is there any other meaning..?
I had to noodle on this one for a while and ask around. I think, and this is only a guess, that this might be "consensual non-consent", which is a role play of sexual assault.
It's not necessarily role play of assault, though it can be that. It can also mean that blanket consent has been given ahead of time, and so the subject is unaware of what may happen to them or when, and by the nature of it can't give specific consent for any particular action. It can have to do with pushing/exploring boundaries, a power dynamic kink, or just enjoying the element of surprise, among others.
If you're doing it right, consent can be withdrawn at any time via a pre-established non-verbal signal and/or safeword, and any bondage equipment will have safety releases.
e: In case it's unclear, I just mean that the definition is more broad than that. I don't think there's anything wrong with role-playing assault.

Anyone asking me for CNC, will be pleasantly surprised when a truck arrives with an 5-axis Fanuc.
You just have a spare $100,000 laying around?
If you weren't eating so many goddamn avocado toasts, you would, too.

I had to come to the comments to find out what she meant. CNC fabrication was the only thing I could think of.

I literally do not understand the meme. Is the first meaning of CNC something sexual?
Consensual non consent.
Also known, or formerly known as rape play.
And let me guess, it's not called that anymore because 1. it's not really rape 2. it got mixed up too often and then people got soft on it?
I'm not sure if the details around it. Not my cup o tea
Pretty niche topic
Meh, as kinks go thats pretty common
Yeah, but I don't know if the interest is then as common to be interested in it's history to such an extend that you know stuff like that.
Sorry I'm not understanding what you mean... (I'm pretty sick right now so it could just be me being dumb)
Yeah, it's been going around here as well.
I meant that while I'm sure a lot of people have the kink, not many may be interested in it's history, such that they are capable of talking about the reasons why it is not called rapeplay anymore.
I can see how that might be the case. Thanks for helping me out
Crazy you feel obliged to say thank you for such a small act. Makes me think about our anonymous individual-based society.
...I didn't feel obligated.
I felt thankful and thought it would be nice to let you know that.
Edit: also you seemed to show some empathy and took the time to comment that illness is also plaguing your area, so it seemed like you were an emphatic person to some degree. Thought you might be receptive and appreciate knowing.
Was a little thing, just a few words, and ,selfishly, if a few words hello you have a better day, even for just a literal moment, that makes me feel good so it really isn't a bother to state my honest feelings.
Not a big deal but im happy to have an honest interaction even if it is to someone I'll likely never see or come across again.
Cheers
Hey man, no hard feelings to you. It was a nice gesture. Though I did indeed not think about the illness part. Much love sent your way. I see nothing you did wrong in particular.
Oh no hard feelings here! Sorry if it came off that way.
Are you canadian perhaps?
Indeed
Then your humbleness and niceness was what had confused me. You wonder where this kindness comes from, next to a state of moron and bullies.
