Less funny but it’s like my feelings on ‘roast battles’ being like BDSM.
It’s fine if it’s consensual (and watching it can be fun, even if you wouldn’t enjoy participating) but the second it stops being fully consensual it becomes utterly unpleasant and unacceptable.
The term "wanker" isn't the insult it once was. Go somewhere people are and throw a stone - you'll hit a wanker. We need a new set of insults for today's less prudish society.
'Wanker' is like 'cunt'. The power of the insult is not related to the original meaning of the word. It's how it feels and sounds to say. The shape the mouth makes when saying 'what a WANKER' is enormously satisfying.
And for anyone who isn't sure, here's the glorious late English comedienne Victoria Wood singing 'Political Correctness Gone Mad'. It's relevant and very much NSFW.
Shared this at work when you first poster it on Twitter a few years back. Got several nods of dawning realisation. Still the best explanation I've seen.

Still outstanding 🤣
Nevertheless, it isn't without pleasure.
Why? My vision seems fine and I've tested the concept for decades.
Someone should explain that …. Very…. Slowly…. To Gregg Wallis.
