My old workplace used to encourage people to use all caps on their reports because it hid the fact the people they hired didn’t know how to capitalize grammatically.
Yay for body-shaming?
This took me a long time to figure out so I’m very sympathetic.
One way political people bring attention to bad politics is to body shame. The intent is to bring energy to the shaming. This is to wake up all the non-political people by being funny or hateful. These emotions travel farther than just facts.
The side effect is that some people walk away thinking the body shaming is the point. It isn’t.
It sucks that the facts aren’t enough, but that is the world we live in.
So it’s not that micropenises are bad. It’s that Trump is bad and it is the common thought that micro penises are bad or funny or inadequate. Just because it’s common thought though doesn’t mean it’s true.
Would it be fair game to call out female politicians for being fat or their flabby labbies?
If I read this reply as an honest question I would say, unfortunately yes, as long as they’re doing fascist things.
If I read this reply as a gotcha attempt, I would say I am a fat man and I would say yes. Fascism is a disease of the state. People are going to die, and some people will catch strays.
The sooner we wake up to the fact that there are political problems that need to be solved the sooner we can stop doing this horrible stuff.
except people absolutely do that to women as well
anytime anyone talks about abigail shapiro they mention her “mommy milkers”, and one of the biggest criticisms of terfs you’ll see is “lol they all look like old hags”
like, these women are heinous, yet people still primarily use misogyny to attack them…
If I had to guess, I think the user you replied to would agree that your example is also morally wrong and strategically counterproductive. It seems like that was their point.
absolutely, and if that’s their point, i fully agree
my point is that you can’t really say “but what if people did this to women also?” because there is no if. people do that to women, all the time
Yes if they made fun of for example disabled people themselves.
No, it invalidates the respectful mindset.
If body shaming is used it activates group think and hate. It brings hateful and mindless people to your side but they switch immediately if somebody on your side is insulted in the same way.
It also justifies hate as the final tool to resolve a problem. The offer of the left is a pluralistic society. The moment Trump changes and is respectful to others he should be invited. If he is rejected for his penis then there is no option for him to switch sides.
Shaming people for body parts is the same mindset as racism. It turns the left into poor conservatives.
Yes, I agree it isn’t respectful. It does not turn people into racists or conservatives though.
You know you can just stop making fun of people after making fun of them for having a micro penis. That is a thing you can do.
It doesn’t justify anything. It’s a means to an end.
What’s the difference to conservatives if violence becomes a means to an end?
If it is ok to ridicule micropenisses, how should people with other disabilities or minorities in general feel safe? Making fun of body issues destroys the left idea of inclusion.

I think you should look into basic political theory. Violence is always a means to an end. If cops show up to send you to jail and you say “no I am not going”, they aren’t just going to stand there until you agree to come with them. They will use violence. It’s how all states enforce their laws.
The difference is using violence to create good outcomes vs bad outcomes. Conservatives will use violence to send brown people El Salvador. The outcome of this is creating a white ethnostate. This is bad for not only the brown people (obviously), but also for the white people as diversity is healthy and increases quality of life. Leftists would use violence to shrink the income inequality witch would improve many peoples lives. All this to say, good things and good and bad things are bad.

To be 100% clear it’s only ok to ridicule micropenisses if the person you are ridiculing is a fascist. I am not saying you can drop this on anyone.
I don’t like it that innocent people will catch strays because some people will see this as an excuse. I would rather not do harm. But we don’t start waking people up that the USA is turning fascist these people will have a lot more safety concerns than lacking body positivity.
Would you rather they have low self esteem or be sent to El Salvador or worse, executed for being different?
Also, I will happily feel unsafe as a fat person if it means I safe a couple of lives. Given what a fascist US could do I might saves 100s.
The difference is using violence to create good outcomes vs bad outcomes.
Good entirely depends on your perspective. Conservatives also use violence to create what they perceive as good outcomes.
The difference is that fascists use violence to supress everybody who is different instead of being inclusive and accept differences.
Ridiculing differences is a step into the dark side that shouldn’t be made.
Good entirely depends on your perspective.
Yes, by definition. What is your point? We all agree murder is bad so we put people who disagree with that in jail.
Conservatives also use violence to create what they perceive as good outcomes.
Not just Conservatives, everyone does this. Any society with laws will need to use violence to enforce those laws.
Ridiculing differences is a step into the dark side that shouldn’t be made.
Can you be more specific? If I make fun of a fat fascist today, how does this result in me become a fascist or a fascist state arise?
I’m curious how you would insult him, in a way that he would actually feel the insult. If his primitive dipshit brain can only understand insults from 30 years ago do we take that approach to vex him, or… what?
I wouldn’t insult him, because I don’t see a point.
It’s too easy for it to be turned into “Look at these haters” to entrench his base.
I think there’s also a point to be made that mocking fascists is a legit strategy to expose their hypocrisy to the low information voters and dumb dumbs. King Dipshit is a bit of a wildcard and has said things in the past that has made the crowd boo him where he then pivots to what makes the crowd cheer. Flustering and goading him to make stupid decisions could be an effective resistance method.
Those who can see reason may change, and those that don’t you know are too far gone for any good faith discussion.
The problem here is you think this is about out reach. The people who love Trump are not in this thread in any appreciable quality such that we must consider their reaction.
Keep pushing them because it’ll play out like this:
Famously, during yet another publicity stunt, McInnes once sodomized himself with a dildo, live on The Gavin McInnes Show
I feel like we sunk ourselves by being the faction of humanity that wants a better future, equality for all, which includes respecting the unique lives of every person and ensuring that we don’t needlessly shame or harm people who very well could have been us. We, the side with innate empathy to a fault, the side that champions quiet contemplation and lofty ideals for the descendants we will never meet.
And while we’re in the midst of trying to build this better tomorrow, we have the other side of our species, just fucking rampaging through the countryside like savage orcs, not only do they not give a flaming fuck about body shaming, that’s the only language they know. So much so that they don’t just want every other person to feel shame, they want to be the ones who cause it, they want to take your bodily right away from you, and use your very weaknesses against you.
They learned from you. They peered from the shadows as you nurtured the needy and gave hope to the sick, they learned that if they just cry “Stop! You’re being mean!” that you will lower your sword and you will recite your oath that you will not be like them.
And behind the safety of this banner, THEY HAVE TAKEN THAT WHICH WE HAVE SPENT 10,000 YEARS BUILDING.
Fuck that noise, we have to take gloves off and fight them on their land. Which used to be our land. And sorry to anyone out there who has a small penis, stop using attacks on the deserving to justify what other orc have made you think about yourself in the past. Rise up and fight with us, so that your kids won’t have to endure the same pain. THEY weaponized all of our vulnerabilities, not just your dick.
You may not want to realize but the land was yours all the time.
I personally like negging.
That’s a bold shirt! I admire you have the confidence to wear something like that!
It’s ok lots of men have problems in the bedroom. Not me. I’ve never had any issues. And don’t really know any real man that has, but it’s ok. It’s pretty common.
🙃
Why are you using the quote function? What/who are you quoting?
People do this because they feel somewhat censored to express actual hate I guess.
They are scared shitless and try to make he feel bad as they are feeling using words that matter to him, even if for them doesn’t mean anything.
It is bad to body shame regardless, but it is more an accessory to the objective of making people feel heard and seen since the other options would be complete chaos, riots and actual hate.
Oh no, think about his feelings.
I don’t care about Trump’s feeling, I care about the feelings of others.
I’ve had sex with a few guys with very small penises, and they often seem afraid of being rejected or insulted once we’re both nude.
He deserves it.
I guess people with actual micropenisses will feel great about this
They’ll feel better after typing in all caps.
ARE YOU SERIOUS?
Do you feel better now?
Well do you?
Isn’t it so telling that this is a confirmed fact? I mean, who better to assess this than Stormy Daniels, who this orange moron undeniably paid for her services. And then, in a completely absurd attempt to cover it up, he also committed a crime for which he was convicted and sentenced. Ergo: The incumbent US president not only has a mirco-penis, which of course says nothing about his suitability for office. But he even managed to make it a crime - and that says it all. It’s by no means his most serious offense.
Listen I have zero stake in Trump’s penis size but let’s not get loose with the definition of “confirmed fact” here. You haven’t seen it.
My point: One testimony does not make a fact
I’m not saying it isn’t true. I’m saying you’re misunderstanding the meaning of “confirmed” and “fact”
Men who upvote this will complain about male beauty standards one breath and then body shame men in another.
You wouldn’t download a lifted truck, would you?
No, but not because of piracy.
I might, if I could set it on fire on the hill out back the old high school. There’s something magical about burning an old Chevy on a hillside in the moonlight
I’d download it just to put the poor thing out of its misery.
On a side note, does he actually use his Xhitter account (again) or is he committed to Lie Social now?
Let’s not make fun of Toad like that.
Stormy Daniels said it, not me.
actual size

I want to assure all cis men that essentially no women give a rats ass about your dick size. If you’re gay, then yeah you might get rejected by some size queens, but vaginas don’t care that much about anything past the first two inches. Size is really a neutral feature outside of extremes (too big and it hurts!)
I’m a trans man, and my “penis” is a micro penis. This doesn’t make me less of a person, but if I tried to compensate for it by being expressing a deranged and toxic masculinity (in Trump’s case, to the point of sexually assaulting multiple women), then pointing out that I am insecure about it would probably be a good way to call me out for being a shitty man.
I mean, let’s not pretend there isn’t an aesthetic factor that women do care about
Not as much as you think. (That Rick and Morty episode is probably more accurate to what most millennial women would want…) I understand body dysmorphia, I get feeling insecure about your body - that’s kinda what the point of bringing up my transness in the conversation.
I do think porn might be doing to young men something along the lines of what beauty culture does to young women’s bodies. I am empathetic, but in general the impact your penis size has on your life is almost always irrelevant to its outcomes, barring those bell curves and your own self fulfilling prophecies.
The idea that this insecurity can motivate forms of fascism can be important to point out. There does to be an obsession with “virility” on Elon Musk’s part, from the “spread my genetics everywhere” grossness. The kinds of men who join fascistic movements are often motivated by feelings of sexual inadequacy and an obsession with machismo.
There’s nothing wrong with being a man, but I think a tool in dismantling that kind of compensating masculinity that harms others is pointing out what it does possibly root to for them. Freud was full of shit, but he had some things right.
We should call forms of masculinity that are harmful unmasculine behavior and mock people who exhibit such traits out of our community. Maybe I’m trying a Dances with Wolves or Avatar here but there’s some use in having waltzed around a lot of sides of the line.
Not as much as you think.
I never stated any high importance. I just said it matters.
I think it’s crazy that I just state it matters, which is undeniably true, and it instantly prompts a rant about body dysmorphia, porn, facism, toxic masculinity, and reshaping society. Like, bro…
The Thing has a small thing!
