Often times on the meme, really interesting topics come up. They're not wanky or mean-spirited, but the prompt post is not the place for them. Until now, I've been directing them to the guidelines post, but from here on out, I'll direct them here. Discussions currently behind held on the other post may continue there, but new topics and

Re: Contrary Anon, attempting to explain herself better

..No, it’d make Peggy not paid in exchange for sex. Payment in this case being a plane ride in exchange for a blowjob or something. OP doesn’t want Peggy having sex with Howard for a price. The ‘cheap’ thing was unnecessary, I’ll agree, but asking your millionaire friend with a private airplane to give you a 30mi ride and potentially save hundreds of lives shouldn’t have a price attached at all, let alone a high one. So again, reasonable, even if you don’t like the phrasing.

As for other women, if they had sex with Howard by their own free will and for a mutually agreed upon price, then yeah, they’re prostitutes because that’s literally the definition. Its true and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. AT ALL. Party A gets what they want, Party B gets what they want, everyone is happy. I bet someone could even use this sex for pay thing as, like, a business or something.

And I fail to see how it would be any less shaming or demeaning in dirty talk context, or in a “[request] for consensual dirty talk”. A word you believe this strongly to be demeaning to people should be considered, by you, to be improper in ALL contexts where humiliation is not requested. Anything less is hypocritical.
“Gendered insults” is still a connotation you, personally, are applying to the word. I’d like to point out, again, that there are male prostitutes -usually far below the age of consent in any civilized county- living through the same conditions for the same reasons as their female counterparts. Does their gender somehow make their profession something different? This comm has been mostly good about it thus far, but you’d be lying if you said you’ve never seen the colloquial terms ‘Man-whore’ or ‘cock-slut’ applied to a male character. Look no further than our dear Tony Stark. How many people pile on to complain about shaming/ bashing/ whatever of a male character? I’ve seen it literally ONCE in five-ish years of memes, and the prompt had been steeped in so much steaming bile that ‘mean’ words were the least of everyone’s problems.

You want gender equality and a term you consider ‘shaming’ to end, jump on those. I’m serious. What degrades one of us degrades us all. Hell, as long as you play by the rules, treating people with respect and the issue with equality, I will honestly cheer you on.

..That doesn’t change the definition of prostitution or its synonyms though.
