Excellent answer.

I'd argue that the outfit in the meme is generally considered a Dom outfit which is what triggers the start of this thread.

Although inaccurate it makes the point for the joke. A TOP image would be much more vulgar and hard to find a clean image for.

    Exactly.

    You can get away with a ... relatively low nudity depiction of a person in a bondage suit.

    This also just generally conveys 'sexually curious / active.'

    Whereas an actual, more literal depiction of topping someone would essentially by definition be so explicit as to be so blunt that ... it isn't as humorous, because your brain doesn't have to do any work to 'get' the joke.

    Not to mention it would probably be censored, and thus far less people would see it.

    I dunno, maybe someone can, or has come up with a ... 'help me step-bro, I'm stuck in the washing machine!' ... type of image.

    Maybe a cowboy or cowgirl riding a bucking horse ... would be sufficiently understandable visual metaphor?
