b b but my truck is big
That’s to solicit yourself at gas/petrol stations, don’t confuse them
Hey! Wanna help me move? You can also carry the biggest pieces for furniture to show how superior you are to me! That’ll show me!
my tires are even big
I used to think it was ridiculous to say 👌🏼 is used as a sign for white nationalists. Now I believe it. The whole point of a dog whistle is for it to be hidden in plain sight.
I believe the OK one was just 4chan going
“lol, the left is so gullible if we say the OK sign is a sign of white nationalists, they’ll publish it”. Of course the reality is, when they sent it out, the actual white nationalists saw it and started using it.
which is kind of the thing that they do. Just like pepe… to my knowledge the original author doesn’t seem to be a bad guy. Meme itself was used in non horrible ways for years. But today you see someone join something with a pepe avitar or similar… you know there’s a 90% chance that whatever community you are in is about to get a test of how they react to the racial slurs that are about to come up.
Or you know you can go to the most famous and talked about ones. IE that symbol of good fortune that existed in countless peaceful cultures for thousands of years.
Yup, as long as there’s a group of people with a shared understanding, any symbol can be compromised. All it takes is the right context for understanding.
👌🏼 is used as a sign for white nationalists. Now I believe it.
Just help them along and let them have it: cooperate with your fellow white nationalists by following their direction on culture. So docile.
Holy cringe
Anytime someone says “can’t use 👌🏼 anymore, white nationalists use it” instead of resisting that by reasserting the more common usage, they’re letting a minority like white nationalists take over & decide the meaning of cultural signs for the majority: yes, that is holy cringe.
Language & cultural conventions take cooperation: stop cooperating with & caving to white nationalists.
I never said 👌🏼 can’t be used for its original purpose. It all depends on context.
Fair enough.
That was the point IIRC. 4chan /pol/ came up with the idea to ruin the OK hand gesture because it was ridiculous and funny to them.
Thankfully my friends know I would never mean this because this ours one of my default emoji. Unless it’s specifically the white one and not yellow, in which case, if one of my friends used white emoji I’d definitely question them directly on it.
I thought it was an upside down ok symbol, not the regular one?
Now people are going to think Italians are fascist. And Italians have never been fascist. 😠
It’s literally the first time I’m reading of this.
Damn, there are benefits to not being terminally online I guess
I go see what the fascists are saying directly in their safe spaces once and awhile instead of hearing about it 2nd+ hand. Do not recommend.
To be more specific: The sanitized idea in their non-verbatim words (I think this was in the lead up to the first Trump campaign?) was to see if “leftists” would let them ruin an already long established funny hand gesture to the point anyone who wasn’t white nationalist would stop doing it out of fear.
Then alt right grifters picked it up and it kinda worked…if you let them have that win.
I laughed really really hard and I’m hurting

Leftists bodyshaming men to criticize their fascism is some real regressive shit. It’s also super off-the-mark. Bodyshaming harms all men, not just the fascists.
Um… applied context?
Context doesn’t justify bodyshaming, full stop.
Agreeing with you.
Justifying bodyshaming is just like justified racism - it’s not the right tool and shows that not doing it is conditional and that you are like that and only not, just to be seen as nice. It literally means you’re a shitty person who is just being politically correct to not be be seen as politically incorrect.
It literally means that you are a terrible person deep down inside, and are only not that way outwardly to get karma points. You have learned nothing. Forever a padawan, shrouded in manipulative behavior to get what you want.
Performative, small trash.
Disgusting and pathetic.
Shame.
Bodyshaming harms all men
I think men can handle it…
Im not sure Cyanide and Happiness’ creators are leftists
bro women or gay men don’t care if your penis is small, only toxic men care about that
if you are really offended by this then you should ask yourself why exactly
“Bro” I am a gay man. I love small penises. This post is reinforcing stigma around small penises, by associating them with white nationalism.
It’s weird to make jokes about them. People don’t need to make up for having a small penis, because it’s not a flaw, so there is literally no basis for this joke other than toxic masculinity.
I am a size queen. I also recognize that there are all kinds of different people out there and that there is no shame in having a small pp. Sometimes, even for me, they’re sexy and great fun.
Post is problematic and people iit defending contextual toxicity are children to me. Some of them are quite petulant and are doubling down on their toxicity and showing it.
I highly doubt that the Cyanide and Happiness creators would label themselves as leftists, even in the watered-down US understanding of the term.
They’ve always been very happy to be openly offensive to the point of misogyny/ableism/toxic masculinity in their art - not typical earmarks of a leftist.
P. S. I don’t really have beef with c&h, the whole “where not [label] because we insult everyone” just doesn’t really ring true for me when it’s four wealthy white dudes ‘punching down’ often. Or two ultra rich white dudes like Matt & Trey of South Park. Funny sometimes - but you’re still a dick when you punch down on communities you’re not part of and you don’t really know.
That’s a good point, and explains the existence of this comic. They’re anti-WN but still have some regressive attitudes.
I’d argue it’s less regressive and more preemptive. I’m a strong believer that people can grow and be better at any age.
Even Nazis. However, the energy and time and resources and risks to do so for THEM is almost never worth it for the small glimmer of a chance, which is why the saying is “the only good Nazi…”, because to get there, it’s so far evolved in that direction, you’re so far corrupted, that it takes a Herculean effort to bring you back to a functional society.
Like, it’s kind of like deep depression, honestly. The stark fundamental differences and the effects and risks, though, are why, ethically, we, generally, treat depression and eliminate Nazis. Not always. Not in every circumstance. But we must at least say so, specifically, due to the nature of each.
A wild, rouge thought appeared just now: what if we flipped that? What if we threatened to kill depressed people and preached treating nazism? …Fascinating. I do have more thinking to do.
This is almost the same thing as claiming to not be homophobic and then using “gay” as an insult.
Not almost.
Body shaming sucks no matter what. And IMO making fun of penis size is toxic masculinity. That said it is speaking in a language that they understand and use, we have to stoop to speak to their base. I hate all of it :')
This really isn’t body shaming, though. It’s making fun of the toxic masculinity that white nationalists subscribe to.
It’s like Peter making a racist joke in Family Guy. The point isn’t that the racist joke is funny, it’s that being a racist should be ridiculed.
Absolutely right and i am happy how many comments point this out. Gotta say cyanide and happiness does not really care about being pc.
pc
🖥️?
They mean masc off.
Mmmm… Good take, but I don’t think we need to stoop to speak to their base. I might just be fucking outright wrong. I also hate all of it :')
So we can not body shame everyone
Or body shame everyone
Or is it a thing everyone can do to people you just don’t like and it is totally fine
This is Cyanide & Happiness. They’re in the body shame everyone camp.
So pro status quo. Got it.
Like 4 and a half is average I’m pretty sure. Lemme Google. Okay Google says 5.1 but close enough I guess. It’s WAY less than porn obviously and WAY less than women think. I have a strong hunch that this is because most men they’ve been with have lied about their size so to them a 4" is a 6" is an 8" etc. There was this green text I saw posted here today/yesterday about a dude with 5.5 saying “don’t expect anything special” and his girl freaking out so this backs up said theory.
Bottom line it doesn’t matter. The vaginal canal is like 4-5 inches and the g spot is just a couple inches in so you can do good no matter what you’re packing. A lot of women don’t like you poking their cervix. Also I have it on good authority some women prefer people without penises and they seem pretty satisfied too.
There are all kinds of people out there 👍
Excellent. And body shaming doesn’t come into it for me. I see this as picking at their sense of themselves, which they need for their hateful beliefs. It’s just the language that cretins understand.
If you roll around in the mud with a pig, you need to remember the pig likes it and you’re gonna get dirty… I think this is like the arena where people end up becoming the thing they hate. People are so interested in the Edward Bernays aftermath of this society like Netflix and Chilling and going to Taylor Swift concerts instead of, I don’t know, building mutual aid networks and working together as communities. We’re nothing but a bunch of goddamn idol whorshippers and I don’t even believe in the sun god… Pretty much boycott every fucking thing that you can and try to produce things on your own. We have to build our infrastructure inside of an infrastructure. And the majority of the people I’m surrounded by are radicalized liberals which have no clue of how the world works and their only gaining interest because it’s starting to affect them personally. If we do have another Civil War, I don’t know if I can join a side. I view myself as a dirty commie, but I think the Communist revolution doesn’t need rebranded, but we have to take ownership of it. And I don’t even think the liberals are capable yet to understand truly the global struggle of the exploitation of capitalism. Like, the capitalist class are all a part of the trans-international security state. And they own pretty much every single government around the world. Wars today are just fought for the hell of it. Just to build up the arms race and to push down the working class globally. The Capitalist won and this is just a new reality and I think they just program people through the binary through Blue Team Red Team to just go at each other’s throats. The clever propaganda of cultural Marxism coined by right-wingers is just such a mind-fuck because it’s Actually… the culture wars or identity politics. But how are you going to tell somebody who ain’t going to listen? I can’t communicate with liberals nor conservatives. These two groups, don’t represent what they used to represent. All these people are just the herd and through the culture wars and the false self-identity of each individual, they find their tribe. I mean, I’m not gonna vote anymore. I mean, I might be an obstructionist and slow down “progress” Right-wing populist hogwash and the nonsense of the woke mob. I know for certain that this country is not a democracy. See, America is an imperialist empire that used to use soft power but now is transitioning to hard power. Fascist are the useful idiots of empire and do the bidding of the capitalist class unwittingly. They are also very easily manipulated into thinking a turd sandwich is roast beef on rye. Liberals just like leaning in to smell their own brand. It is the hierarchy that’s the issue, the unjustified leaders of today, who are pretty much actors. It’s like the allegory of the cave. These people just watch shadows dance on the walls. And through the propaganda machine, via Edward Bernays and consumerism, these people are just easily amused. Yet deep down there’s something off, and they know it. And that’s why we’re heavily medicated nation with mass shootings. Thotz and prayerz. I sometimes think a nuclear bomb just blowing up this whole country at this point would be a positive thing, at least for the survival of the species. America is truly the root of all that is unholy on this planet. America is like living in North Korea with a mixture of Disneyland, but you forgot your wallet and you’re not allowed out. You’d be surprised at how many people would just pack their shit up and move to another country. But there are certain mechanisms and background processes that stop us from just leaving. We really don’t have freedom of movement. We don’t have much of a life, nor liberty, and most definitely people are chasing the pursuit of happiness. But it’s like a drug. You’re never satiated. So it is pearls before swine, as it’s getting harder for those that see between the lines to find their own personal autonomy. The walls are closing in and no way am I gonna have children. I think this is the greatest sin. But yet I don’t advocate for people to go out and do crazy shit, so…
Woah. I disagreed with them, but holy shit use paragraphs and format this and respond to me and I might, assuming it isn’t unsanity. And that’s coming from me.
who’s out there comparing their dicks to other dudes to know if they’re below or above average
:3
nice username bro
thanks, same to you.
Back when the internet sucked, I was young and insecure. So I just asked the girls I slept with how I stacked up against the other guys.
It’s amazing how being young and good looking can make up for being creepy and weird.
being young and good looking can make up for being creepy and weird
sounds dope, can’t relate
Google is a thing, and the average penis size is a fairly well documented static. .
I’m comparing to find out if I’m a white nationalist
so, are you?
Judging by the specimens I found online I think I’m supposed to be Goebbels
Not a dude. But we can compare if stepbro wants uwu…
People who like to check children’s genitals at sporting events
I would volunteer to look at a bunch of penises…for science of course.
Insecure dudes, primarily.
someone should tell them it’s gay to think about other men’s dicks
/s, but their reaction would be funny
The same people comparing their cars, bank accounts, houses, even their dogs and schools their children go to. to decide who is ““alpha”” and who is poor. Capitalist religion-induced issues.
We had comparative wealth inequality for thousands to tens of thousands of years before capitalism.
Yes, but you didnt have status anxiety (i.e. if you can become anything you want if you work hard enough, why aren’t you ““alpha”” yet?) and the prosperity gospel: “you deserve to be poor because you don’t hustle enough at the altar of crapitalism”.
You absolutely have Calvinism before capitalism which is what the prosperoty gospel is rooted within
But in Calvinism you couldn’t do anything about it, in the prosperity gospel, it is your fault, because you don’t belive enough, so you should try harder.
Ngl, I frankly kinda doubt that who owns the means of production has any bearing on an individual’s self-consciousness regarding their penis size
Do you think the same about makeup? It is so easy to play with men’s insecurities too…
I don’t, no, not really. Make up is heavily advertised, and makeup companies have a vested interest in stoking those insecurities to increase their sales. On the dick-size side of things, you have a few surgeons I guess? Some scammy mobile game ads? But the vast, vast majority of people who aren’t fuck-it rich just live with it, the only viable market for that shit is other capitalists, which makes me inclined to think that dick-size insecurities are much more organic.
Hypothesis: if we abolish capitalism and make the transition to socialism and communism, people will still be self conscious about their dick-size, because this particular self-consciousness probably pre-dates society itself
Communism failed horribly, don’t put words in my mouth. Conspicuous consumption, planned obsolescence, manufactured demand, etc is taking longer, but it will fail too eventually.
Mutual, I didn’t think or mean to imply that you thought communism would solve penis disphoria, you could replace the word “communism” with any other system you like in that sentence, I was just trying to illustrate that the roots of being self-conscious of ones penis size likely have more primal causes than capitalism or any other economic system.
We had makeup thousands of years before capitalism.
What about penis implants and viagra?
Those come after. Capitalism is a late 18th century CE creation
It’s actually from earlier than that (Locke, Smith yes), but it only became unmanageable after we found cheap energy in the industrial revolution, which made the human element mostly trivial.
Idk how cyanide and happiness comics always manage to be bad
I’d wager it’s from your missing or atrophied sense of humor.
Do you think women are generally dumber than men?
Maybe it’s just because I’m mentally ill, but if this is what makes regular people laugh then I’m glad to not be regular
Shaming people for “dick size” is support for the patriarchy and therefore supporting misogyny.
Fuck this toxic masculinity. This is literally feeding into the alt-right pipeline.
The word you were looking for is misandry.
You couldn’t just say it’s body shaming ans stupid to push anyone with a small Penis to white nationalism?
Why did you have to frame it that insulting men’s bodies is actually just misogyny?
Questioning someone’s lived experience of misogyny is literally white nationalism. I diagnose you with micropenis.
The worst part is genuinely can’t tell if this is serious or not.
It’s the patriarchy that defined large dicks as more masculine and “good”. You think “small penis” is an insult because you were taught that it was.
Fun fact. The ancient Romans thought a large penis was less desirable. You could mock someone for being big.
The ancient Romans thought a large penis was less desirable. You could mock someone for being big.
Well yes but no. Aesthetically, it was considered vulgar. So was drinking wine “raw”, but people still got plenty drunk all the time. And no matter the fashion of the statues of the time, sex still worked the same.
sex still worked the same.
Exactly. The G spot is like 2" inside, and people still have fingers and tongues.
Sure, I would agree with that, but just because it’s root cause is the patriarchy does not mean that something that hurts men is actually misogyny.
Yeah, I think misogyny was the wrong term. They’re not the same.
It’s shaming them for their toxic masculinity.
It’s also a comic, so maybe you could loosen up that stick.
Are we gonna start calling Kanye West the n word now to “shame him for his nazism”? Please don’t start using their terms.
Miss me with that stupidity attempt
Apparently we aren’t allowed to fight fire with fire. eyeroll
You know what? Fuck that. When I deal with meatheads at work (I’m in construction) I use their own language against them to shame them. One example: If they say something is woke just because they don’t like it, I’m calling them a r3tard. Not because I enjoy saying the word, but because I KNOW it’s language that will actually get through to them. " Are you r3tarded?" Is A LOT more effective than “That’s not nice” with people who are like that.
Dudes getting upset at 🦐 dick jokes will never stop being funny lol.
Nooo misandry, this feeds small dick men into the alt right pipeline nooo body shaming we have to take the higher moral ground nooo don’t make small dick jokes guys.
Spoken like a 4chan user.
Jesus christ these comments. Guys, it’s a dick joke, calm your tits.
A tit joke? In my Dick dick joke thread? Get out of here.
Don’t even joke that smol pp = nazi. Because I’m definitely not a Nazi.
Tiny pps UNITE! Together! Rubbing! With lube!
