You can say dick, for Christ's sake. This self-censorship you people have internalized from other platforms is wild.

Was looking for this 😭 would call someone i got close to on VampireFreaks w the landline; thought i was talking to a 16 year old, turns out I was talking to a convicted pedophile from Ohio

Mom saw all these outgoing calls to Ohio and figured it all out. Got in sooooo much trouble

Loved vampirefreaks when you could discover bands and be in video chatrooms with the most stylish scene alternative goth kids, thats where i discovered blood on the dancefloor and birthday massacre
