    people were always like this.

    the assumption that we are degenerating is literally fascist propaganda.

    look into Pompeii graffiti, usually this type of discourse doesn’t make it into the “proper” literature and is not preserved. but it was always there.

    Shakespeare is full of innuendo, Mozart has a song titled “lick me in the ass”, or monk drawings full of dicks, even in the bible someone fucks a dude with a donkey dick.

    those are examples i came up on top of my head, we were always like this.

          They said they’d prefer to live in a world where this didn’t get posted (no mention of the past). You then bring up the idea that people in the past were less perverted wasn’t a thing. But they didn’t talk about some mythological past, they were talking about the point in history when OP decided to post this. If OP hadn’t posted this, we wouldn’t’ve have to read it.

          So you bringing up the mythologized past is the non sequitur.

            i see now. though there was a non sequitur in my statement. not that my statement itself is a non sequitur.

            just wanted to say that those things are natural, and while not wanting them sounds innocuous, it ends up bundled up with fascism.
