sex positions besides missionary

Lol good one. Next you'll try and tell me women can have orgasms.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

All I took away from this is that anal sex might be the thing that brings us all together.

[–] Bonehead@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And that orgies REALLY bring the left together.

[–] ikapoz@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

It is the “sharing is caring” ideology after all. Can’t fault em for inconsistency.

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I call bullshit, according to this I'm economic left and right, while also being authoritarian and libertarian at the same time.

[–] Dieterlan@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Congratulations, you're a cherrypicking centrist my dude

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 8 points 2 years ago

Well, that's actually very close.

I don't think the results are intended to be used in the way that you are thinking -- it's not meant to infer one's political beliefs by their fetish, but to, instead, correlate, on average, fetishes with political beliefs.

Regardless of the accuracy of this (i am not very convinced of it's universality) I am mostly pleased by the source of the graph, AellaGirl is quite an interesting person

Edit: Reading the source link acknowledges the weakness of it and that it's mostly memetic

[–] Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

i am not very convinced of it’s universality

Oh, yeah, it certainly is not universal; It's just an average.

Hard left but kink right.

[–] Frog-Brawler@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Am I the only person that doesn’t know what vore and futa are?

Consensual eating (usually whole, with both participants getting sexual pleasure out of it) and women with penises (usually with vaginas as well, so it can't be gay) respectively.

[–] Nerd02@lemmy.basedcount.com 2 points 2 years ago

Ah always good to see this one, it's a classic. For once I'm horrified by my own quadrant (AuthCenter) as well as my former one (AuthRight).

Also

the graph has been stretched for greater memability

Based and skewing scientific data for better memes pilled.

[–] XYZinferno@lemmy.basedcount.com 2 points 2 years ago

How could you forget the best LibRight fetish of them all: a balanced spending budget

[–] r3df0x@7.62x54r.ru 2 points 2 years ago

This is exactly what I expect it to be.

[–] CookieJarObserver@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Wrong, BDSM is Peak auth center.

[–] Nerd02@lemmy.basedcount.com 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

There seems to be a rough pattern of people's kink being the opposite of their ideologies (most notably in AuthRight's case). I'd argue it's equally surprising to not find stuff like bestiality in the bottom lib quadrants.

[–] Shiggles@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You’d be surprised how little impact being a furry has on someone’s political orientations. People seem to think just because one side accepts a group and another doesn’t, that that group will naturally drift towards supporting that side.

People are far too shortsighted and just plain dumb for that. Just because you’d be first up against the wall doesn’t mean you can’t be a fascist, right?

Keep in mind that it is the results of a study (linked in the description), and is not based on opinion.

[–] PupBiru@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

study is a stretch… a guy asked a bunch of people

i can tell you right now as someone deep in the pet
play community that its position is entirely incorrect
