I believe it's depicting a non-sexual massage

I also believe that the artist was being a cheeky little shit about it to amuse themself on the job lol

Like some of the guys that made those little goblins, that hang on churches, cathedrals and such? They loved to include their own goblins in nefarious poses. They are usually at a height, where you don't recognize it looking as a peasant from the ground.

Twas a healing massage which contained vitamin D

It's totally normal that the masseur is not wearing pants. They always to this.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pants weren't even invented yet

Hard men make sore buttholes

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

NSFW this please

I just opened this at work and my boss doesn’t seem upset but she has recommended me a couple of Japanese comics. Verdict:sfw

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Depending on the comics she may be trying to hint at something

I don’t know much about them so your guess is as good as mine. “Thomas no Shinzo” and “Love Stage!!”

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

He's just getting a massage tho?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Looks more like he's massaging the dude's prostate.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I've noticed mods on here are hair-trigger with the Islamophobia removals. Can't we hate all organized religions equally?

Thank you. Censorship is for the weak.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Is it censorship when you clean up the off-topic, emotionally charged comments that don't belong in a given community? This is a science sub, why bring up religion on a completely unrelated topic? There's a good chance it was a bot anyway, they've ramped up the divisive posts to maximum.

Are you censoring the wood shavings when you sweep the shop?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You could make that argument for the whole thread, though. It's just that LGBT stuff is treated as always on topic across a lot of communities.

There were times where the atheism and LGBT subs on Reddit were practically indistinguishable.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If this were a meme about whatever liberal this or that you were talking about then that would be the case. This is a science meme about archeology and , to not be improper, labeling things as something they probably aren't. For example, smooth well-worn wooden penises (made of non-splintering wood even) and calling then fertility symbols or good luck charms. Yes it does look like its a legitimate back massage in the image, just done in a very nontraditional way that makes it look like 2 dudes connecting on a deeper level, which is what the meme is referencing.
