Can someone explain what happened here exactly, cant really make sense of it. This symbol was used by french revolutionaries right? Thats the only thing i get but why is the guy getting downvoted?

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

because it's middle school humor, and frankly it's rather misogynistic and rapey to be inserting digits into someone to "shock" them without their consent.

I mean now that you mention it, yeah i remember this move, tho more as a joke from the "haha sex funny" perspective. It kinda says something about how childish the commenter is when i automatically associated it with french revolutionaries lol
