Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Eh, doing a bit of googling there doesn't seem to be a direct line to homophobia and indeed lots of things point to spanking being the origin.

Regardless I will stop using it if some think it means that, since that is what language is.

I am fine not castigating OP as a homophobe without more evidence
