ok this is patreon I feel like I'm safe to say it. As a player of both teams it's funny because receiving a random dickpic I be like "ew wtf man why do you think that I want to see your peepee?", but if it were a girl sending a nude randomly (never happened) I would be like "👀 nice". WHY THO? Maybe because women take better nude photos? idk
