      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.

      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?

      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.

        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.

          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 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.
