For what reason other than arousal would someone wear one?
This doesn’t count baby leashes btw, which are at the back and not the neck and are used to prevent a kid from getting lost or wandering off into danger (when used properly).
The local Albertan, rediscovering what it means to be me. May play devil’s advocate at times, as I like being nuanced.
Enjoys electronic music, adorable art, rhythm games, and perogies among other things.
I have lemmy.world and piefed.world blocked. Sorry, too much American politics and an unfortunate amount of casual transphobia for my liking. Feels like talking to a brick wall with people and I can’t be bothered anymore.
Also have lemmy.ml blocked for transphobia and gross dismissal of human rights issues in China by the admins.

Thanks for that.
If I’m sitting on a busy bus for example, and two people, a couple, sit in front of me and start making out with some tongue on tongue action, I’m going to be disturbed. I’m not comfortable with that, and I didn’t consent to seeing that.
People have their kinks and sexually intimate acts that they’re into. Consent on both parties is important, but what’s important as well is the consent of people around you in seeing that. A regular kiss, hug, or other purely romantic or platonic show of affection you don’t need other people’s consent for, so a person claiming “consent” when gay people hold hands or kiss in front of them is just a bigot.
For the same reason I wouldn’t send a picture of kink art I know a friend isn’t into without their consent, I also wouldn’t indulge in my kinks in public where I know most people won’t be into it, as they didn’t consent to, for example, seeing me on a leash in this case (not my thing, hypothetical application of the pic).
Wow, using the same words I did as some sort of cheap “gotcha”, aren’t you smart?
I’m not gonna engage with you if you’re not gonna come to the table with anything of value to add.
This is a false equivalence and you are lying if you say that you don’t see this as one.
It’s common decency? I’m not going to judge someone for what they wear in public, but when it comes to sexual stuff, it’s just a matter of being mindful of others.
Not a “think of the children” or “I’m uncomfortable with queer people existing” sorta deal with what I’m saying either, making sure my words don’t get twisted, but a leash to me gives the same vibes as say, a couple having an intense makeout session on the bus. Like do you need to make this public?
This a minor nitpick here, I know, just worried something like that gives fuel to the narrative jackwad with the sign is pushing.
From my understanding leashes are a sexual thing no?
Is that a leash?
Gonna go against the grain and say that’s a bit of a no-go, regardless of how much of an ass that guy is being. Get rid of that and I see nothing wrong here though.
