Dear Americans,

[blamebrampton]

On the whole, I love you. I have long loved many of your countrymen, sometimes from afar as with Frank Capra and Katherine Hepburn, and sometimes from up close as with some very lucky young people in the 1980s and '90s.

I think your land is beautiful, your governments uniformly mad, your religious leaders alternately inspiring and depressing and your jazz miraculous.

But.

I would like to impose a rule on you all. If you cannot say the word penis, you may not handle, draw, write about or otherwise involve yourself with them. Babytalk derivatives do not count. Similarly, the F-bomb and C-bomb may no longer be. "That person used an expletive I am not comfortable with" or "Fuck me! She said cunt!" are your two options.

That is all, please go about your business.

With love,
Brammers

Ah! How odd. Yesterday, while perusing some art, I saw a warning for "peen" and had no idea what it meant. Then, upon opening said art, there was a fairly well-drawn picture, though no clue as to the identity of the warned for "peen". Then, at the bottom of the artses, was a note proclaiming the artist's self-squicked condition for having drawn the "peen". Upon closer inspection, I discovered that the art was depicting a blow job, but the genitalia was nearly indistinguishable from the background. Only then was I able to add it all up, finally realizing what "peen" referred to.

I thought perhaps I didn't get it because I'd rather be warned if slash art doesn't contain penises er, penai... cocks, so I know I'll be wasting my time. ;)

But please don't blame Americans on the whole--lay it at the feet of the ridiculous children who are doing this, playing at the dirty stuff while terrified of their own sexuality. And really, let's feel sorry for them and hope they get over it.

See, now learning about this is a good thing. We can add the silly word to the list of Do Not Open; it'll fit nicely between "MPreg" and "Scat".

And the interwebs is safe once again!

Ha ha! Me too! We were looking at the same art. Yay for cocks!

Yay!!

Oh, the irony of me cheering for cocks... Hee!

I was looking at that, too! But the artist is VERY young, and otherwise quite talented (and will hopefully be startled to learn that peenii do not resemble ice lollies). I do like the idea of your labeling system, there should be a fandom library course in it ...
