As usual i read too much into stupid shit. Yes, this is toxic masculinity just as much as punching someone in the face. But, like everything, context matters and I believe directing harm towards “bad” people is “good” (aka punching a nazi is good, even preferable). My granpa (a declared fash) would shield behind the “no violence” stand to support the most heinous shit and my point always has been that somebody need to shoot a nazi eventually. That guy would be “bad” for killing a person but we need those guys. At some point kindness doesn’t cut it anymore.

That’s not what bodyshaming does, though.

If you punch or kill a nazi, that harms the nazi.

If you joke about nazis compensating for having a small dick, then you are reinforcing the idea that small dicks are bad and something that needs to be compensated for. This harms people with small penises.

In addition, lots of nazis will have average or big dicks, and will find this kind of post laughable and irrelevant. It’s not even harming them.

So, this post mainly stigmatizes men with a certain body type, and not nazis. This is not good praxis.

I think that’s the reason why these kinds of derogatory statements are made. It’s because masculinity is the sole identity of the fascist (aside from nationalism). Obviously, if you have masculinity be your main ideology, you are a problematic person.

E.g. calling the proud boys “gravy seals” doesn’t make me upset, because I don’t care if I’m fat or not, and I don’t really subscribe to machiavellianism. They, internally, do and being mocked is an affront to their ideology.
