We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**



Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

Guys I was playing about the roleplay stuff. And I don't promote incest. I'm just saying if folks are gonna do it, take the precautions to stop the effects of birth.

My bad y'all.

Edit cause I made yall mad. I wasn't ignoring the grooming aspect that can happen. I'm tlaking about 2 consenting adults who night be siblings. If they are consenting and willing to make sure they do not have a pregnancy, I see no problem with it. As long as there is consent and they are adults.

And no, I'm not into insect because I'm an only child like the buttmunch below me said. I merely tried the role play once or twice with my partner. It was alright. But wasn't my favorite.

Anyways my bad guys, I figured y'al could laugh at it, but I seem to have pressed a button and I apologize for that. Excuse any spelling mistake...my phone is cracked and it bright as fuck outside...I can barely see my screen.

I roleplay that shit with my partner.

  1. SureJan.gif
  2. You REALLY REALLY REALLY do not need to share that shit
  3. There can still be similar power dynamic abuses and grooming even between siblings

Speaking of abusive sibling:

Yo I'm so lucky I'm cis male.

If I was female, I'm pretty sure that my older brother would've SA'ed me.

Like dude literally used zip ties to tie me up because I was "being annoying" to him...

like he's 5 years older than me, so much power over me, like during that incident, I was probably like 6, he was 11...

so traumatized being unable to move for several hours until my parents came home

dude has zero boundaries

Yes I'm aware siblings can be abusive. I figured we are all smart enough here to know that. And to know I wasn't talking about theoe dynamics.

[โ€“] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip -4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Got it. So we don't need laws because the people on a pseudo-reddit board are above it. Now tell us more about how you and your "partner" roleplay you fucking your sibling again.

[โ€“] Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

You're being an asshole. I never said there shouldn't be laws. My laws would be if you're gonna do it with your bro or sis, there are rules (laws) that you need to follow.

  1. Consent
  2. Adults
  3. And taking every precaution to prevent pregnancy
  4. (If we didn't live in the mad world we do) would be mandatory abortions for any accidental pregnancy.

Christ, dude. Are you just wanting to fight? Oh wee, I roleplay with my wife. Omg everyone stop. I do roleplays that might be a little out there. I'm not shitting on her or eating her shit. Calm your ass down you grumpy goose.

And what's with the "partner" thing? I'm 33 yr old. Celebrating my 10th anniversary on Feb 2nd with my partner/wife. What would be my reasons for lying about being with someone? That's a lame way to try to make me look small while building yourself up. You seem like a bully.

[โ€“] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And what you're not getting is that you can't meaningfully consent when someone in a position of power and safety has spent years convincing you that the only way to stay safe is to fuck them.

Jesus christ, dude. You know I'm not talking about this groomer rapists shit you are talking about. I'm talking about 2 consenting adults who might be related having willing sex. No groomer shit. No older bro or older sis or younger bro or younger sis. Just 2 adults who are related consenting to sex. Of fucking course a older sibling manipulating a younger sibling into sex is wrong.

Seriously, go lick sidewalk, trying to paint me as some type of monster. Putting words in my mouth. Screw you, dude.

If you had a sibling you wouldnโ€™t be a weirdo into incest

I'm not into it? I roleplayed it maybe twice with my partner.
