    I feel like most people are wildly inconsistent on this. Fat shaming? Small dick energy? How about mental illness? Baldness for some reason? Disabilities? Oh, we could probably go on about those. Some people seemingly decide a line is too simple and draw a complex sine function instead.

    My rule is to try to be decent. Sometimes, I even succeed. But I don’t think I’m very good at it, and neither are most of you. Bunch of hypocrites, we are.

      But what if it’s in the positive? Damn girl I like your fat ass. But I can see it being used negatively.

      I like Big Dick Energy though. Can we keep that?

        I think you answered your own question? It depends on meaning and context, not just words themselves. And while positive messages intersect the overarching topic, they’re different enough that we can’t just bundle them together and treat them in the same fashion.

        I like Big Dick Energy though. Can we keep that?

        Can’t handle the magnitude of that question on my own, I’m afraid.
