Welcome to NoSafetySmokingFirst!

For images where the text reads correctly left to right, but visual cues (like colouration, vertical proximity, or horizontal separation) lead you to try to read it top to bottom.

This is similar to, but distinct from, the more widely known “DontDeadOpenInside” format. In that case, the text reads correctly top to bottom, but visual cues (like colouration, horizontal proximity, or vertical separation) lead you to try to read it left to right.

A reasonable request, either way you read it

Mkay... How does one fulfill the request to "gay dogs?"

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

first step in "be pet gay dogs" is getting yourself a nice collar

Ah, that explains it - leather, I'm guessing?

Too old & out of the loop, I guess. Sorry.

I know some folks into pup play from my circles who range from 40 to 65+ hahaha. Mostly gay dudes, so if you’re not gay dude, I can see how that might not have crossed your path.

Nope. Straight as can be (but without all the insecurities about my manliness that make so many become assholes). Thanks for clearing that up - makes me feel slightly less clueless.

For more context pup play is more of a bdsm thing than a gay thing it's a roleplay sex thing

Gay is still an adjective in that one. It is requesting gay dogs to be pet.
