    @Pietson @TheJims @Decoy321 that wasn’t what I heard but I didn’t look too too far into it. I read a few of the light articles that discussed the viability of the butt plug cheat device, but aside from that I didn’t really go back to the source or anything.

      Why do your comments tag anyone remotely involved in this?

        @KidsTryThisAtHome direct replies include anyone in the thread chain by default. It’s like Twitter in that way.

        Because that’s how Mastodon works.
