It's not the small penis we hate, it's the loud car.

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Counterpoint: it's the hate that makes them compensate?

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes, but we use the small penis as an insult, which is not fair.

I don't understand nudity options in games. You got average and above average. Few people gonna go with average then.

My most satisfying sexual experience was with a small dude

I begged him for a second date. I think he was self-conscious about it. Dude was marriage material

I hate a lot of things.
Guess i should start body shaming because of that?

No. Only insecure losers bodyshame.

It's like with the "do you punch a Nazi?", even pacifists have limits.

Then again, I think for me it's ok to hit people where it hurts when you want to hurt them--- and penis size is the "alpha males" easy and effective target just like crowd size is a certain assholes weakness.

Not even remotely comparable. When you punch a Nazi you are only hurting a Nazi.
When you body shame you hurt every single person who has that characteristic.

If everyone started shitting on characteristics you possess you probably wouldn't like it either.
Have some fucking empathy.

Drag doesn't know a single person who buys into that penis size stuff and isn't a conservative. In fact, most of drag's friends have a penis and want to get rid of it.

Ok, except what if only the target is within earshot and it's used exclusively to make that person feel like shit? And would this be true of any other insult that could potentially apply to someone else, like being bad at something? Although I guess if harm is the goal, empathy isn't exactly a priority.

I'll concede you're right about collateral damage, though. Friends of mine know I don't actually believe the insult in most cases (especially penis size, what am I, 12?), but I use more tact if I'm worried it would upset present company or being up bad memories, etc (more commonly fat shaming). I also don't insult people like I used to, though.

But, I don't really hold anything sacred and I'm not about to hold back a good insult for a hypothetical person.
