    Going off the Twitter profile picture and nothing else, I’m guessing this is a self post. Because what a wild ass thing to suggest. Normal humans assume keys or coins.

    “Make fun of me and my chastity cage please!”

      I found the poster on the birdsite, and from what I’ve seen of their pictures. No way is the subject them. The poster has way too long of hair for none of it to be visible in the photo.

      Though having looked at their twitter, I am not surprised they said that about a stranger.

        Bro, wait until you hear about the cool new hair prosthetic they just invented. I think they’re calling it a weg or wig, I dunno something like that. And then there’s all the hats and headbands that can be used to put hair up into fancy hairstyles that don’t just dangle all the way down like Rapunzel. Really good for vigorous physical activities like running or jumping or even dancing.

        It says on the arcade machine not to hold onto that rail. Page 9, sticker 7. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1756526/Konami-Dance-Dance-Revolution.html?page=9#manual. Most people who did this received injuries, not high scores.

        Edit: This is the manual, the company made. The engineers wrote the specifications. It says right there not to grab it. It doesn’t matter what people use it for. It was factually not designed to grab during play. This is a first hand example of facts not meaning shit to the human species.

          Boy you couldn’t be wronger here, pretty much every perfect attack champion plays like this because it’s an unfair advantage. We shamed these people at our arcade but it doesn’t stop them from setting the highest scores no matter how stupid it looks. Dancing stage fixes this problem well enough.

          It literally says verbatim: “please do not lean or hang on the handrail”

          LEAN or HANG. Not saying the guy isn’t doing that, but it says nothing about just grabbing it? You can grab it just fine.

            Dude, what do you do when you grab it? You usually follow the grab with your weight. Nobody is just holding it shyly like their first date at the movies. They’re putting their weight on it so they don’t slide off-axis to the dance pad arrows. The intended use doesn’t matter anyway, because this was a sign of a disrespectful player. If you did this while up against someone else you were a dirty player. Thats the truth. Thats why this comment on the chastity belt is funny.

              And why exactly is it considered “dirty” to begin with? Because its EFFECTIVE. This is what you do to get an advantage, like someone already said.

                  It has absolutely nothing to do with coordination in the slightest, wtf are you on about?

                  By offloading some of your weight even if only a little, you can move your feet faster. This is a fact for everyone even IF you’re already good at DDR as is.

            It’s for holding onto while playing, there’s literally stickers on the machine saying to do it. The current machines even advise it during the health/safety prompts. Current songs are charted specifically with the bar in mind. This isn’t 2001 anymore. This guy has absolutely zero fuckin idea what he’s talking about.

                First time hearing about liability?

                Sometimes companies will say things that they don’t even believe themselves, just to protect themselves from the law.

                It’s called LI - A - BIL - I -TY

                  That hardly proves the intended purpose. Either way, early 2000’s, if you held onto that during play you were weak.

            I have no idea, but its not for holding onto while playing. You’re more likely to twist your joints that way. Maybe it stops you from backing off the machine on accident?

              There must be a legal point where something is so obviously meant for a use that no amount of “not meant to be used for this super obvious purpose” can no longer protect a company, right?

                My toaster oven’s manual says I have to power it down, clean out the crumb tray, and unplug it after every use or risk starting a fire. After every use. That’s literally what it says. This is what you get when you give the lawyers free rein over the technical writing. It’s insanity.

                If you like to dance around, while grasping something that is immovable. Go for it. You’re gonna hurt yourself like I watched tweens do all throughout the 00’s at Gameworks. The bar was not made to grab.

          It says “not to hang or lean on during play,” not hold on to. You can hold onto it. Just don’t lean or apply significant pressure onto it.

      If it’s plastic or metal, as opposed to silicon, the lock can bang into it and make extra noise.

      All three have their perks but either minimal lock and metal or silicon are generally the more “discreet” varieties.

      Also true for women’s chastity devices, in terms of where the securing place is and what kind of locking mechanism you use.

      1. There’s no valid reason other than hate to call lgbt people as a group “depraved”
      2. Chastity cages are not exclusive to the lgbt community
      3. Sex addiction is not exclusive to the lgbt community
