A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology's problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

Considering how many tech enthusiasts are Femboys using the terms Dom and Sub sounds like a good idea :3

Why do you assume all femboys are into BDSM?

I thought they were general terms to describe top and bottom

They are sort of becoming that nowadays, but that's a different topic. I'm saying it feels like over sexualizing people that identify as femboys.
