Hung like your mom left devastated after watching porn -

Like genuine question, how are those any better or different than fat jokes or calling people ugly or anything like that? I know those are still a thing as well, but they are at least somewhat looked down upon or are called out, sometimes.

I'm trying not to read too much into it but if you're an already somewhat insecure young man, constantly hearing about how having a small penis and wondering if yours is "too small", especially when you watch porn, can actually be genuinely devastating. My brother told me his 15 year old son is already worried about it, constantly googling average penis sizes and how to tell if your dick is too small and what might help etc.

And it doesn't really help when people then say "oh porn isn't real and size doesn't matter" when "haha small penis" is basically a completely fine and accepted joke in every aspect of society, on the internet and even on TV regardless of political leaning. Like, what else could your takeaway be from that other than "this is actually the worst thing that could happen to you"?

I'm throwing bald jokes in here as well since it's similar (And yes, I do say that as somewhat who's gonna go bald soon enough). I know this isn't gonna change, but it is kinda frustrating to see that being just a completely fine and normal joke literally everywhere.

Funnily enough, it was googling penis sizes that made me realise I wasn't a kinkster afterall but a lesbian.

[Polident]

How about a sub forum with tips to make incremental growth through jelqing 

[simiansmarts]

No more penis shaming, it’s time to make penis praising a thing. Lift up people’s self-esteem and all that

I like how they've convinced themselves that the men are at fault and women don't like it anyway.

Most of us are average but a big porn cock does appeal to women, a certain type maybe but still. The issue is that it well hurts more so they'd rather not marry but instead 'hire' one to scratch that itch. When in Rome.

[Snoopy]

I think the nephew should be more worried about uncle ree's obsession with his dick.

[DavidCroquet]

insecure men putting down other men to feel better about themselves still exist. dude with the small dick probably knows how to use it better than the one with the bigger one anyways.

In an unexpected twist, several people reply to this comment with the seeming intention of defending the honor of big dick’d men???

[Cauliflower Of Love]

That thread and it's responses reminds me of home room.

[Cauliflower Of Love]

because the bald teacher in homeroom always had us measure our dicks

[benji]

Yeah but you see, i need a target to kill on my shootybang and it sure as hell aint gonna be a white american male!!

Or, how would you make a mass market semi-realistic shooter in which American white males were the enemy? This is why the first MW trilogy has you shooting endless numbers of Russians.

Every "resistance" you can think of that "beat" the Americans got swamped in casualties, lost every direct battle, etc. How do you make a fun game and depict that? Should we talk about how the Chinese would suffer the same thing like they did in Korea?

I feel like this is a "media literacy" thing, the premise of the media limits what you can depict. When you include the expected audience (aka America and the EU) you're constrained further. Is that market going to want to play an Arab versus Arab conflict game that has none of the awesome military technology and everybody drives around in "tactical" pickup trucks? I might but the mass market won't.

The confident ignorance is remarkable. How little must you know about history, or anything, to claim “Asians weren’t slaves”. Not even touching on the sickness of trying to model an ethnic strife hierarchy. How do you even get to a place where you think that.

Hierarchies provide the semblance of order and the construction of authority. For someone who is status obsessed it offers a quick rubric to judge authority, and thus correctness, by evaluating the status within the hierarchy rather than needing to judge say the arguments or evidence. The Enlightenment's upending of the traditional authorities created a world of constant anxiety for those who desire a permanent eternal order of everything. The reactionary conservatives over there display this need daily if not hourly. It also operates on the personal level, if there is an established order then one need not think about control of your own life, it's entirely out of your hands from birth, which creates an illusion of safety and control over their own lives that they would not seek to obtain naturally.

Like, read some basic fucking theory already.

To illustrate the above, look at the very premise of this thread, that somehow eight billion people should immediately conform to the weird minority position of this dude. We could suggest he's lying and merely rhetorically asking as a chance to get a favorable audience to tell him he's right. But we could also assume good faith and see him as literally baffled that other people don't think the same way he does and that society doesn't change its norms on a dime.

[Cauliflower Of Love]

I think they're just dumb and don't understand hierarchy of descriptor words.

[Snoopy]

Dear Playboy

I never thought I’d write to you guys but the other day something happened that was so mind blowing I just had to share. You see my nephew….

[benji]

I think they're just dumb and don't understand hierarchy of descriptor words.

Of course they're dumb, that's obvious, but what they're constantly expressing is an anxiety about status and a need for the establishment of an unchallengeable hierarchy. To use the forum's utmost scholar, Nepenthe writes about almost nothing but her fear of her perceived status and her desire for a rigid hierarchy where everyone always knows their place. Her complaint about current society is that it only prizes artists when they produce what people want rather than simply giving them high status for being an artist. Having a nebulous status is anxiety causing if you crave a need to know everyone's status. Their crab in the bucket behavior is because of the narcissistic need to be the highest status, if you can't be, it's necessary to spend all your time making sure everyone else is brought down to your own.

To connect it to another topic, they likely want the known hierarchy of status that children have in their worlds. Growing up you have a mandated routine where everyone knows their place and there are constant authority figures who control everything.

Their fondness for equity over equality is a reflection of this, equity means the existence of desert, and desert means there is an authority determining who deserves what. Individual moral authority doesn't "solve" this for them for the same reason they can't accept that some people don't recognize that She-Hulk was factually excellent.

 User banned (permanent): justifying racism

Yes, it is, but remember that Asians were not forcenly taken out of their territory and brutally enslaved. Compare racist of what black people suffer with what asians suffer is unfair, per history.

The confident ignorance is remarkable. How little must you know about history, or anything, to claim “Asians weren’t slaves”. Not even touching on the sickness of trying to model an ethnic strife hierarchy. How do you even get to a place where you think that.

You or anyone else could have explained that to him, and then the poster would actually understand why their post made no sense. Instead they just get banned. That poster then goes from being ignorant, to being ignorant and bitter. I remember on NeoGaf in it's prime (or bore in the present), you actually had a chance to explain to someone why they were wrong, and they might actually listen to what you're saying and learn from it. And if they don't, then you ban them. If they made that one change Resetera might actually become a tolerable place overnight.

1. They aren't posting in good faith and won't listen.
2. You can't change the minds of fascists, they only understand force.
3. [paradox of tolerance meme image]
4. Marginalized people shouldn't have to emotionally labor and defend their right to exist.
5. More communities will flee in droves if they don't feel safe.
6. You "just asking questions" like this proves you aren't operating in good faith yourself and so User Banned (Permanent): troll account.

Is sentiment that BCT shares since GAF. They just learned to hide it.

You would need various factions of the forum to abide to listen to others to have real change. That dude as an individual may change, but there is a lot of assholes in that forum willing to enforce his point of view .

You can tell the staff believe people having arguments over things isn't "productive discussion" and something they need to clamp down on at all times. Unless it's a bunch of prominents dogpiling on somebody who stepped out of line. This plus their constant refrain that they have to research every topic in the world to come up with the correct stance show how inverted they have everything about how discussion forums should operate.

They seem to have confused discussion forums for The Catholic Church. Many such cases.

[benji]

And here the troll posts a far-right meme when facts are presented to him as expected.

I always knew Perry Bible Fellowship was a bad seed. They have "bible" right in the name! Christofacist, much?

[benji]

Good start but let's break down the rest.

Perry, like Friends star Matthew Perry, who forced Western cultural appropriation on Japan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perry_Expedition

Fellowship, like the Thiel Fellowship that far-right billionaire Peter Thiel uses to spread fascism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiel_Fellowship
But also like The Family/The Fellowship, a far-right organization that secretly runs the U.S. government: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fellowship_(Christian_organization)

Connect the dots, do the work, read the theory, people. Don't just read convenient capitalist whitewashes of their crimes.

I'm not saying homosexual people to be politically correct; it's just how I refer to them.

Regardless, I think the nature of your line of thinking is fundamentally fallacious; indeed it's a literal ad hominem and it's common around here. "The logic is bad because x person said it." That's not true. Bad people can make sound arguments or true statements all the time.

How do you refer to people of African descent?

[HaughtyFrank]

I was going to say, she uses that "logic" all the time.

Here's the rest of this stupid argument:

Bear in mind - this is the exact argument that people use to try to justify their use of the homophobic F slur in their friend groups.

"We're not actually calling him gay - we love gay people - we're calling him a f because he's acting like a stupid person and it's just different in the context of my friends"

Is there not a fundamental difference between being homosexual and having a small penis size that you can name?

They're both things you're born with

I'm not sure what fundamental point you're talking about

Do you not think that homosexual people have gone through more physical and legal oppression than people with small penises that fundamentally changes the relationship between insults aimed at such demographics? How we're not all saying the "sp-word" or "sp-slur" for a reason?

You can just say gay, "homosexual people" is very DSM language and has fallen out of fashion.

And I think you've fundamentally misunderstood the nature of my line of thinking.

The language in the DSM was "sexual deviation" and then "sexual orientation disorder" and would have never said "homosexual people" because that's not a diagnosis an individual can have. It's not DSM language it's just more technical language: homo being the opposite of hetero.

The staff missed some:

Ain't that the truth. People folding for these mega corps like cheap garden chairs.

Yep. These corps continually creep it into their games because the people who say "its not so bad!" keep allowing and making excuses for them.

This will eventually lead into unskippable video ads between matches and the like.

Fucking this; they are responsible so much for waving through anti-consumer behavior into videogames. If we discovered a popular console/new nvidia card randomly explodes they would still be like "No big deal, I just put it in a steel enforced room and snake the wires to somewhere safe. People need to stop whining"

If Monsters Inc. was released today people would be on his side

It's terrible how prevalent that line of thinking is.

Also:

Microsoft REALLY needs more money to blow up kids in Gaza with huh

Don't forget ResetERA.com needing that money too.
