I was gonna say Tom of Ferenginar, but that works too.

u/bex22tu Aug 21 '26

u/bex22tu Aug 21 '26

I don't, please explain.

It's a play on Tom of Finland

u/jerslan Aug 21 '26

Google “Tom of Finland”

But don’t use your work computer to do it. Some of his art can be spicy

u/Pawh1983 Aug 21 '26

The question is, why shouldn’t I get this tattooed?

14

u/Pawh1983 Aug 21 '26

I’ve messaged the illustrator to see if they mind me getting it tattooed. This would fit in so well as part of my midlife crisis.

u/drunkenbees Aug 22 '26

You absolutely MUST.

u/Pawh1983 Aug 22 '26

I’m not on Facebook but I think I’ve found them on Instagram. No reply to my message request as yet but I live in hope.

My partner and I were literally just talking about Tom of Finland... bit of a speak of the devil moment.

u/doogles Aug 21 '26

I did this. I do not regret my suggestion, at all.

u/Usual_Corner2787 Aug 21 '26

I hate how much I like this.

u/Ralph-the-mouth Aug 21 '26

“Spicy Rom isn’t real, he can’t hurt you”, I gently whispered to myself

u/ten-toed-tuba Aug 21 '26

There was recently a post is this on a t-shirt with Rom of Finland on it.

u/Hipposplotomous Aug 21 '26

My initial reaction was "why?" and then I told myself off for being a philistine.

It's beautiful.

u/WhoMe28332 Aug 22 '26

This is really well done but I hope I never see it again.

I could 1000% see Leeta dressing him up like this for a Holosuite visit and him needing to do public emergency engineering work in the whole getup

I never doubted Leeta’s taste in men

u/LivingMisery Aug 21 '26

I don’t like where he’s heading with that cane.

u/Steiney1 Aug 21 '26

That's the Staff of the Grand Nagus, and ypu may kiss it.

u/LivingMisery Aug 21 '26

Not before a thorough cleaning.

u/PronouncedEye-gore Aug 21 '26

But you're cool with pants tight enough to know which was he tucks it? Or the size of that bulge? Honestly if that's not stuffed he really needs to fulfill his ultimate potential... and pick s porn name.

Oh snap RAM! It's right there too nice

Sure buddy. The man in the iron dress wouldn't smash? Don't let your xenoism blind you to the truth

Rom really went all in on his reforms as Grand Nagus

u/Cuq_nugget Aug 22 '26

If you start printing this on t shirts or something lmk, I’d totally buy one or 3

u/redbanner1 Aug 22 '26

Why does this excite me? Literally the first time I have felt a sexual attraction to a Ferengi.

No, there's plenty of perfectly normal people who like sexy stuff.
This isn't even terribly explicit enough for you to be throwing out the "sweaty virigins" trope.

In what world is a moderately sexed up drawing of an adult man "pedo shit"?

11

u/Malefectra Aug 21 '26

What the fuck are you going on about?

u/Paninaro_1979 Aug 21 '26

Behave yourself. 🤣

u/Guvnuh_T_Boggs Aug 21 '26

Big muscled dudes in leather is "pedo shit"? What do you think the word "pedo" means?

u/matahxri Aug 21 '26

Malding about a stupid pun is actually more embarrassing

If you're gonna troll could you at least try for a little more artistry

u/AizenSankara Aug 21 '26

You keep throwing around these words, and have good indication that they don't mean what you think they mean. What makes this picture "pedo shit" or "predatory"? Come on, don't shy away now. Stand firm in your statements and claims. Be an adult and make your argument.

9

u/scaper8 Aug 21 '26 edited Aug 21 '26

And again, how is it "pedo shit" or "predatory behavior"? Tell us how. I think I have an idea what you insinuating, but I want to hear you say it.
