Enjoy implies it could be on the level of simple curiosity... or the thrill of the forbidden fruit... rather than flat-out masturbation.
Better to leave that word unpotholed, though.

Well... yeah. There's really no need of it.
Sexual content about kids? You really need to be told why that's bad?
Unless it's In-Universe, we really shouldn't bring that up.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid."Sexual content about kids? You really need to be told why that's bad?

Yes, I need to be told why a harmless, text-only (hell it relies on the pothole to get the joke across so it's not like people are going to get in trouble at work) joke is bad.
You did ask.
And the point is the boy is clearly a boy. It might seem harmless, but I say better safe than The Situation.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.Whatever it is, the point I'm making is that this is nowhere close to what got TV Tropes in trouble a while ago. That was all the lolicon-related pages and images, which were very obviously unsavory/sketchy. This caption as it is is completely harmless and funny and it's not going to get anyone in trouble.
And yes it does matter that it's just text because there's a pretty big difference between text and image.

How is it not OK? What other "inappropriate" uses do you mean?
I don't like this whole idea of sacrificing humor for 19th century notions of morality.
I mean yeah if the caption involved rape or something then yeah I would definitely be in favor of changing it but I don't see what's wrong with it the way it is.

I don't see how humor is lost by changing masturbation to something slightly less explicit that still gets the idea across.
I'm not crazy, I just don't give a darn!Kaiser, it's the difference between the wiki not only making the reference but also underlining that that's the reference we're making, and the wiki saying something and letting people make the reference if they choose to. There's no way to ignore or miss that the reference is to masturbation is it's potholed to A Date with Rosie Palms. It is possible to interpret "enjoy" in other ways if it isn't potholed that way. Many people won't interpret it any other way, but those who want to can.

It is softened. ADWRP = masturbation; DE = wink wink nudge nudge.
