        In this case it’s not about body shaming but about shaming a means of compensation. Also it’s not really a literal take. “Big dick energy” has nothing do with actual dick size. And being a “Karen” has nothing to with a persons actual name or gender.

        Neither is trashing the climate with pointlessly big vehicles just to compensate for whatever insecurities they have. We need to either tax or regulate these stupid vehicles back to a reasonable and safe size.

          Not sure if you’re serious but i will answer as if you were.

          A common attack against people with large trucks is that they have a large truck to compensate having a small penis. This implies having a small penis is bad/unacceptable. This is obvious body shaming but also contributes to toxic masculinity.
          Both of these are unacceptable.

          There are many alternative ways to talk shit without playing into these kinds of comments and TBH, the compensation comments have been used so much and are so obviously baseless that they don’t hit very hard, IMO.

            well, i didn’t actually say that, and i’m not responsible for others filling in the blanks with their own negative thoughts. as you can see, several others actually managed to conclude something different.

            don’t blame the Rorschach test because you see something you don’t like.

                that’s exactly what blaming me for something i didn’t say is

                  It was implicit. If you can’t deal with being called out on your rhetoric, perhaps you shouldn’t use it.

                  Body shaming is dumb and so is owning such a huge truck.

                    you’re projecting your own insecurities onto me and making yourself angry over something you imagined. I a not to blame for things your imagination does.

                    work out your problems with a professional, not by attacking random internet strangers.

              Blocked. User has nothing useful to contribute and will argue in bad faith when called out.

        But the body on right is so much bigger, and takes up so much wasted space!

        The smaller body on the left is more fuel efficient too.

        Plus, body shaming when you’re ugly and useless like that is okay.

      The driver of the second truck definitely has a bigger… autoloan

        And potentially family. It’s a 4 door truck. It’s a transportation vehicle with a bed and slightly greater towing capacity than a sedan. Lot of suburban dads have these.

            I’m a tiny-truck-lover, and want one badly, but my family’s big 'murica truck is waaaay more comfortable than my current sedan :( Unrelated, but do tiny work trucks come with Bluetooth now?

              Damn I hated riding in the back of my dad’s Silverado. I’m almost 6ft and I can comfortably fit behind myself in the back seat of my impreza. The new Maverick looks like a pretty cool small truck option

            Eh, your cheaper compact sedans are comparable. It’s definitely not great, but good enough. The front seats are comfortable, at least.

        Better to get the one that’s specifically designed to kill toddlers then. If children have to die so you can be less scared of a “mash up” then it’s all worth it.

          “Lead designer to ensure child lethality” is such a badass job title.
