Time to talk about spider mating then! Let’s make this educational so they feel bad if it gets flagged.

Look at the massive palps on this boy! Nice long sperm duct, too.

Male reproductive organs are at the rear of the abdomen, which makes delivering sperm into the female’s receptacle a little difficult. They instead deposit sperm onto a small web (sperm web) and transfer it into their palps.

And this scandalous lady spreading all eight of her legs for us… 

If a male has successfully wooed a lady spider, he will use his pedipalps to deposit his sperm into the female’s epigyne.

Let’s not forget that spiders have threesomes too!

Spider sex is always a competition to see which male can mate as many females as he can before anyone else can. Check out this other post of mine about a spider that literally leaves his palps in the female’s epigyne to prevent other males from mating with her!

One more racy image of two spiders getting it on!

(This last image is actually a 3D model made by designer Julia Stoess, and I greatly recommend checking out more of her work. It’s truly amazing.)

its really so wild that like, @staff did nothing to curb the pornbot epidemic after everyone was complaining about them, then did nothing to stop child porn from being posted on its website since they had already done nothing about the pornbots which made it too hard to pinpoint where the sources were. and after literally everyone complaining about specifically pornbots and child porn being present on their website they’re just banning ALL adult content in some half-assed family friendly nonsense that they couldn’t even double check for spelling/grammatical errors in their press release. like y’all are covering for a child rapist/pedophile(s) on your team and everybody knows it lmfao @staff

@staff you’re also doing this because you’re too lazy to moderate your own site lol

I know you’re talking about a videogame but this is actually a really good metaphor for my life
