Oh sweet more body shaming

[–] Default_Defect@anarchist.nexus 13 points 2 months ago

No, you don't understand. Body shaming is good when its men. /s

[–] CatsPajamas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I just figured this might actually work on a certain kind of guy. No slight meant towards the small peened

[–] Feyd@programming.dev 40 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

I understand it's not necessarily meant as an offense to any applicable person by the person saying/wearing it, but it is nevertheless perpetuating the social problem of shaming people for characteristics they have no control over.

[+] CatsPajamas@lemmy.dbzer0.com -8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I don't think so. I think that presupposes that there is something bad about having a small dick. This is to mock people who think that there's something bad about having a small dick, who there's a good chance watch Fox News, as well-adjusted people don't really think that. But maybe I'm wrong! I'll think on it. Thanks for the challenging perspective.

[–] Feyd@programming.dev 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's really simple. The fact that you think this shirt will offend anybody, regardless of the demographic you're targeting, lends power to the narrative that a small penis is something to be ashamed of.

[–] CatsPajamas@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I guess I don't understand. Why? Mocking the idea reinforces the idea necessarily?

[–] Feyd@programming.dev 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Yes. You're doing splash damage. I'll put it this way. Boys should be able to grow up without having anxiety over the size of their penis (because everybody should be able to grow up without having anxiety over things they didn't choose or have control over). When you put this shirt out into society, you can't control who will see or who interpret it.

Maybe people that think fox news is bullshit will understand that what you are disparaging is fox news and not small dicks and that you think that you'll offend fox news viewers only.

More likely, the average person will see that you think fox news is stupid but that is because having a small dick is something to be ashamed of in general, and some poor kid will see it and fret about how their body stacks up. Body shaming can't really be effectively targeted and should really just not be done at all.

[–] absentbird@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I agree with you, but I also can see the ways it could be read as problematic.

Like a shirt that says "watching Fox News shrinks your tits" would be kind of messed up. For some reason the dick one feels more humorous than insulting, but maybe that's just my own cultural bias.

[+] TrickDacy@lemmy.world -12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I keep seeing this argument and I don't buy it. You can use assholes' insecurities against them. It's ok.

[–] Feyd@programming.dev 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If you completely lack the ability to empathize with other people or understand that communication doesn't only get seen by whoever you're directly targeting you can think that, I guess.

[+] TrickDacy@lemmy.world -9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

You're right. I'm a monster and I love to eat babies. I mean 100% lack of empathy. None whatsoever. It's definitely not that you're policing people's language to the point that they don't give a fuck anymore.

[–] Feyd@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

It's either the lack of empathy or that you're for some reason so attached to disparaging people's bodies you refuse to listen to simple logic. The concepts are really not that hard.

The hyperboly really doesn't help your case.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world -5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Someone telling me I have no empathy on the internet doesn't really make any difference in anything, other than I kinda think they're a judgy douche. Your point falls completely flat when you make the absolutely baseless judgement. I don't care. Blocking you now.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ever heard the term "if it smells like shit everywhere you go, check your shoes"? It applies to being an asshole too.

In the future, try being a shitheel elsewhere, thanks bud.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago

Yeah one or two dipshits a month pretty much guarantees I'm an asshole. Thanks for your response here actually. Tagging on Lemmy is a great feature

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

It would work for literally nobody.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Well, don't have a shitty body then! No problem!

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

shrinks your pre-frontal cortex too, and enhances your amygdala fear responses(theres research on this)

[–] isyasad@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

there's research on this

Source?

[–] Ilixtze@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 months ago

SHHHH! the femboys will hear you!

[–] CatsPajamas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Idk if I'm allowed to post a link

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Do it!

I've got some other leftyish stuff on there.

Maybe I can get my first sale 😂

[–] TehBamski@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Self promotion hasn't been discussed on here yet, so no rule has been made, yet. I don't have a problem with someone sharing a link in the comment section. It's when people Spam Their Content, that I have the biggest problem with. Also, it looks bad when people put it in their title IMO. Store link or even online store name, I personally wouldn't want to allow.

But it's up to the community to decide.

[–] CatsPajamas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

Ok. TY for the clarity! I won't spam!

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

The problem is once the T-shirt bots figure out this exists.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Unless you're a woman; in which case, it makes you grow one.

[–] Rcklsabndn@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

That explains the increasing number of dicks I have to deal with at work.

[–] jared@mander.xyz 5 points 2 months ago

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Reminds me of two warring tribes/nations in Africa. Women came together and said, "None y'all getting laid until you make peace." Peace. Overnight.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

This is why Alexander the Great was so unstoppable.

[–] ODGreen@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

Lysistrata moment

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 3 points 2 months ago

It certainly atrophies the brain.

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago

The word is ironically growing, with penis being the largest.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I need this shirt

[–] CatsPajamas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Please buy one lol

I have not sold a single shirt yet.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Are you selling it?

[–] CatsPajamas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

Yep! Started the shop up a few months ago but only started adding stuff really a few days ago and this post is the grand total of my marketing lol

not insignificant portion of the population begins watching Fox News religiously

[–] elevenbones@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

My WHAT?

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 1 points 2 months ago

This could backfire: they might claim it's okay because it gives them "big brain energy" instead. Faux Snuz certainly swells their heads, but unfortunately not their brains - it just contains more hot air.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

It's the other way around .... they watch Fox "News" because they already have a small penis

[–] syreus@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm blocking this community before it turns into a nonstop advertisement. OP you are part of the problem.

[–] CatsPajamas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

I've made one post and I asked the mod if I could post my Etsy link.

I think if there's a problem here you've got it, not me.
