I literally do not understand the meme. Is the first meaning of CNC something sexual?
Consensual non consent.
Also known, or formerly known as rape play.
I feel like calling it rape play is just more honest.
It's more blunt, but people who have been raped would point out that there's a big difference between the sexual nature of consensual non consent, and the objectively violent nature of rape.
It's less that it's less honest than that it's more clear about what it is, and what it isn't. It's about what people think rape is about, and not what it actually is: angry, hateful and violent.
Well I needed someone to explain consentual non consent to me because its not really logical, and I didnt need rape play explained to me, so there's that. Seems sort of silly we needed a politically correct term for it in the first place.
Seems to me, it is more an accurate term. „Politically correct“ is still signage of „I am a right-wing asshole“ btw. Even when those assholes switch terms regulary.
How is it more accurate?
You do know that no one made them switch terms right? The people doing it and using the term decided to change it because it made it more clear when they were talking to each other.
Since you hadn't encountered the idea before, I don't think they're super concerned about their sex lives being easy to explain to you. Your opinion isn't super relevant to other people's sexual preferences or the words they use to talk about it to each other.
Well, its as relevant as anyone else's opinion here, which is like you said not much. Good talk though.
Well, less than the people who said "oh, okay" when they learned what the term meant. Getting hung up on how you feel about the words they use for their sex lives is really weird.
The amount I care about this is very low, its not that big a deal.
It got ruined by anti-edgelord zoomers who put shit like "seggs" in their TikTok captions to prevent demonetization.
Eh, I'll make the mill please...
I prefer "struggle fucking"...
consensual of course
And the use of computerized numerically controlled fabrication can't be part of consentual non co!sent because...???
If you say so I'll believe you. Not my cup o tea
I'm just imaging a 'no Mr. Bond. I expect you to die' situation, but, I dunno, sexy?
What about that situation isn’t hot to begin with?
All men, the worst common gender. And the thing is just moving in a line. Nothing's really happening outside that. Nobody's leg is being flash frozen with liquid nitrogen and lathed into a dildo here.
And let me guess, it's not called that anymore because 1. it's not really rape 2. it got mixed up too often and then people got soft on it?
Computerized non-consent.
Heheheheheheheheheheheheehehehheehhehehe I can't stop grinning
I'm sorry, I'll turn the computer off. I didn't realize it was still running.
That's actually horrific. Pleasure to death by rounding error was not on my bingo card.
Yeah, sorry. I thought the cnc machine had better failsafes, but I had to code some of it in c# so...
I hate c# for some reason, but I can't remember why. Kind regards, Java dev.
I think its the proprietary ms one that only runs 100% right¹ on windows.
¹or is supposed to-windows is windows and wine exists.
Yeah, feels about right. I actually did develop in c# once and I hated that I was bound to the shitty microsoft tools. They were open source and baack then I didn't really know linux, but I hated them. Just clunky.
consensual non consent
IT'S DYNAMITE
