I am wildly uncomfortable with the child on the plate next to that context but that's probably 100% the intent.

You do realize that gay people can parent...correct?

My god, no! I had no idea! 🤨

What's that got to do with the word on the license plate though?

Power bottoms like to be in charge while getting fucked up the ass. It's a pretty common gay term for - not quite topping from the bottom, but for a specific sort of demanding sexual partner who knows what they want and will insist on it in bed. It's very explicitly sexual in nature, but niche enough that straights might not get it, which is probably why they used it on their license plate. Good for a giggle. No harm there, more power to them.

But combine reading that with looking at a picture of a kid and dad, and it's kinda gross. Like seeing adds for diapers in your porn feed.

Sounds like you're reaching, associating power bottom with somehow being linked to the parent and child on the plate? What kind of twisted mindset even tries to affiliate those two things together? Get a life. You made a poor choice of words, reap what you sow, you opened yourself up to being bashed for it.

Jesus Christ stop reaching for a prejudice that isn't there you fucking victim fetish. Power bottoming is a pretty explicit term. That's the whole point of getting it on a license plate, to get a giggle about an explicit thing shown off in public.

I think the disconnect is the plate is inherently sexual in nature. If it were about the identity of being gay only, no issue, but this plate is explicitly about sex.

Power bottom on a plate isn't like "fuck me" or something more harsh. It's fine.

Maybe you are homophobic?

So you're cool with a sketch of a kid next to a pretty clearly sexual term? 'cause that skeevs me out. It's the sort of bullshit that pushes a boundary that just dosn't need to be pushed, freedom of speech or not.

It's a drawing on a license plate. You have issues you need to work out.

I think maybe you want to argue, and that's about you, not me. I'm ok with being skeeved out by this. The fact that it doesn't bother you doesn't mean you're a pedo, and it doesn't mean you're somehow enlightened. It just means it doesn't bother you. But the fact that it does bother me doesn't mean I'm homophobic, and it doesn't make me evil or someone who needs to be attacked. And you don't get that because you want to fight a good fight and hurt someone who you think deserves it. And that does say something about you.

Maybe think about why you want this argument.

I know what you are. You're super sensitive to any possible percieved insult, any possible hint of a bias. And willing to lash out at it. And unwilling to accept anything at all which might be considered even slightly critical of what you defend, no matter how justified.

Maybe consider that this is not the hallmark of healthy confidence?
