Heh yeah I quickly scanned across it and didn't really examine any of it except to see one illustration looked like a newborn pig in pajamas and I was like "hmm. Kind of ugly cute, I guess" before doubling back and examining the post more after seeing people comment on it

Makes me think of how in the Call of Cthulhu tabletop RPG, it's often advantageous to do poorly on perception checks because seeing more than you should is often damaging to your sanity

The bad guys in Harry Potter are wizard analogues for Nazis and their symbol is a fashy skull that apparently tons of people get tattoos of

the thing is that the bad guys in harry potter(most of them) are pretty unambiguously magic neo-nazis, and that's their symbol

They aren�t wrong, in the sense that the swastika has better brand recognition than the symbol of the NAZI stand-ins from a children�s film. Less people will know immediately how to feel about you when they see the Harry Potter one. I wouldn�t recognize the symbol, myself.

That the author of that series came out like "You know what I love? Discrimination." was pretty wild.

LazyMaybe: Aug 18, 2013; oouagh

it's not that wild considering some of the content in her series, like hermionie being presented as some sort of ridiculous culture warrior for protesting chattel slavery

or the way that jk rowling has said that she intended the werewolves like lupin and greyback to be a metaphor for HIV/AIDs. bear in mind that greyback is a werewolf that specifically seeks out children to bite to spread his illness to them

A skull and snake may not be the most generic tattoo imagery ever, but it is well on the way.

Yeah, not everyone getting the tattoo is a fascist, and yea it�s generic as hell. Most would get it because badguys are �cool�. It�s the same reason I might have considered getting the symbol of the terrorist organization Cobra tattooed on my flesh.

I've seen some weird things on reddit, and "I took my kid to a fetish dungeon for an amateur medical procedure, video below" is definitely one of those things.

It is perhaps somewhat less evil than that summary suggests in that the kid is nineteen, his mom owns the dungeon, and this didn�t happen during business hours.

Still really loving weird and I�m not even going to link to the Subredditdrama post. I will instead quote the post below.

quote:

Today on r/popping a mom made a post [NSFW]:

My stepson (M19) has had this behind-the-ear cyst with a sidecar growing for 3-4 years. I did not get the sac(s) out bc visibility and access were challenges.

Users quickly noted she should get him to a doctor due to the location (close to brain) and noted she needed to get the sac out or it would come back.

OP informed them he was not covered by insurance and she had used a sterile environment/tools and were in a fully stocked clinic

She also added that her son is on the autism spectrum

Users continued to prod as to why son was not on parental insurance as he was under 26. They then began to question OPs technique to which she responded her husband was a trained EMT and supervised/filmed.

OP also shares that she, too has medical knowledge [I have quite a lot of experience and have a fuckton of medical equipment for a reason. I can make the determination, make the statement, set up a sterile field, drain a cyst attached to an ear and monitor it for signs of infection perfectly well. Your approval is not required.

There is no requirement on this group that any popping videos be posted by licensed medical professionals.

Things continued to be hostile between OP and other members of the subreddit. There are debates about whether 19 is an �adult�, if proper technique was used, whether or not a doctor should get involved, lighting options, etc. Until a user looks through her post history

quote:
This is crazy but OP claims to own something called �The Rack Room,� which is some sort of sex club, I guess? (No judgement).

And there�s an ad for �medical play� in her posts - holy crap! (lots of judgement, especially after seeing her perform a medical procedure in a �clinic� that might just be in her kink dungeon. OP, did you host a medical play kink session in the same place you�re now doing cyst cut-downs?)

and then posts a link to OP advertising catheter play at the �rack room�, which she appears to own.

The Rack Room in Denver is in fact a medical kink playroom. Users found a tour on Instagram which show a �clinic� that bears some resemblance to where the kid is sitting and, as stated earlier by OP, is fully stacked with medical supplies.

Mods quickly locked the post before it could revolve into (more) chaos.

OP reposts in r/popping_curated and confirms she does have medical training for the kink community, however that training seems extensive and potentially legitimate.
