Welcome to /c/Gay - Your LGBTQ+ Haven

We're more than just a community; we're your haven for celebrating LGBTQ+ culture and connecting with like-minded individuals.

Community Rules:

~ 1. No bigotry. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 4. Keep it LGBTQ+ related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love posts but 3-4 in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

I can't argue against that

Lots of 'pale' downvotes. LOL!

This meme is just perpetuating two harmful ideas:

  1. Reinforcing the expectation that black men have huge dongers

  2. That donger size matters and is a measure of self worth

You'll notice that whilst point 2 affects all men, point 1 is more harmful to black men, as they hold their body to a higher unrealistic standard. Plus it's part of the creepy fetishization of "exotic" people.

Tying people disliking these concepts to them being "pale" is just kinda weird, dismissive, and frankly plain racist.

I'm not personally offended by the post, and haven't downvoted it, I just hate seeing the closed minded and unempathetic mindset that your comment demonstrates

I fully agree (maybe with a nitpick re: “matter” from #2 just to leave room for everyone’s preference) but honestly I still have soft spot for duck jokes as an old tradition of lowbrow humor, especially the euphemistic/wordplay kind lol

Totally, I don't want to get into the nuances of penis size preferences, as the vast majority of people are happy with any donger (barring medical conditions), but of course, as you've said, there are outliers.

It just upsets me to watch men obsess about penis size, so I probably came across too strongly, sorry about that 😅

I also have no problem with humour, I try to avoid it as I see it as body shaming, but I'm not gonna be a party pooper

Oh yeah no I’m with you, full agreement. It’s silly to associate people’s PP size with anything, and tying it to self worth or ridiculing others for theirs is harmful, as is fetishizing groups of people for anything.

I meant nitpick as in just a slightly more flexible word choice, if for no other reason than young people are on the lookout for little white lies and it’s best to be frank.

Yeah and I’m generally against body shaming too, unless we’re talking hand or crowd sizes.
