I should not need to explain this one.

Yeah, it's a prostate massager. Lol

Anything's a prostate massager if you're brave enough.

A joystick could work quite well if has force feedback...

Gamer dildo

Is that a threat?

But agree oldstyle joystick is quite picky choice, even more next to rules 1 and 2.

Definitely supposed to be phallic.

It looks more like a dildo going to the side bar than the little PFP sized icon does. It would help if they just photoshopped/hand drew the icon instead of using this AI generated bullshit. The fuck you have to generate a pic of a joystick for anyway? Get a stock image. Draw two rectangles. It didn't need to be slop.

I think I have to stop you there… in the community sidebar the original artist is credited and the original art is linked: https://openclipart.org/detail/322683/joystick-game-controller-silhouette

It seems to be published in 2020. If I'm correct, this is before AI art really became a big thing.

Then that is some incredibly bad photoshop work. It's smeared all to hell looking like a very early genAI model.

Looks like bog standard old school clipart...

I don't really know what you are talking about… it looks quite good when you look closely at it in full res. In small format the shape just reminded me of a d*ldo and I thought that was funny.

The line running down it even looks like a vein.

[–] AliOski@feddit.nl 1 points 1 day ago

Exactly what I thought 😭
