!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

If your brother was 17, and your mother did this, and a mandatory reporter found out they would be calling CPS - level of abnormal.
It's certainly abnormal.
But abnormal doesn't mean bad. At all.
I actually think it's a thoughtful honest appropriate gift. That kind of thing should be more common.
If as a joke, the humor is fucked. If legit, it’s double fucked.
It's abnormal but only because sleeves are taboo due to religion and socirtal bullshit.
Depends. Did she get a custom one made? Very VERY weird. Did she get one from her favorite porn actress? Quite weird. Did she just get any old one? Still a bit weird, but eh. Weirder things have happened to me.
Just make sure you don’t break both of your arms at the same time. Or do…? Idk what you’re into.
My mom once left her Amazon account logged in and open on her computer. My sibling and I searched for a bunch of sex toys to mess with the ad suggestions. That was funny, but I'd never buy my mother a dildo and it would be really weird if she bought me a Fleshlight.
I cant say if it's because of the sex stigma in the usa or because it's just weird
Context could make it better I guess - like maybe the sons a sex/porn addict or something along those lines.
But you said this particular context makes it worse (and the only worse context I can think of right now is she had it molded to herself) so I would have to say it's pretty abnormal.
my mom bought me playboys back in the day somewhere around my 14th/15th birthday and I was pretty weirded out by that relatively 'benign' act.
I see your username and know this is a fucking trap!
Even having a funny and weird relationship with my mother, this would be suuuuper cringe. And inappropriate.
It's unusual, depends does he like it and why do you want to buy him that?
Pretty fucking weird.
Abnormal meaning "not normal?" Very abnormal. As others have mentioned there are some edge cases where this isn't terrible, but in general it's a pretty bad look.
