A discussion erupted online about reusing disposable plates and using coolers to transport food from restaurants. While some argued disposable plates shouldn’t be washed, one comment took a disturbing turn: “That’s why I buy rice in nylon and tear the nylon one side and be pressing the rice into my mouth. Omo that thing sweet pass Soapy.”
Here, “soapy” is used as a crude sexual innuendo, turning a simple hygiene debate into an inappropriate sexual reference. Comments like this are insensitive and derail constructive discussions, making it uncomfortable for other users.
Social media threads should focus on the topic at hand without introducing explicit sexual content, especially in public forums discussing everyday issues. Turning everyday practices into sexualized commentary is disrespectful and diminishes the original discussion’s value.
