Remember guys and gals, it's not body shaming when men are on the receiving end!

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.de 34 points 10 months ago

"This person conducts themselves with a confidence that usually comes with physical traits typically considered desirable."

[–] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

That's why I prefer 'big ballsack energy' It's something every male can achieve with enough waiting or the right diet.

Are you implying the term Big Dick Energy is body shaming men?

[–] criitz@reddthat.com 34 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Yes. It equates body types with positive/negative traits. ie. "Big dick energy" implies "small dick = bad"

[–] Touching_Grass@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Can we shut the fuck up about being sensitive to everything. Just for a day. Sincerely guy with small dick. Its cold out. Always.

[–] flicker@kbin.social 29 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The thing about this is, you're saying you have a small dick, but this is big dick energy for real.

Maybe someone needs to come up with a better name for it because it's a very real phenomenon and most of us know exactly what it's referring to.

Confidence ? E.g: "he is very confident !" = "he has big dick energy !"

everything is better with dicks.

[–] lostme@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Especially girls. My gf has a bigger dick than me and I couldn't be happier, no homo

Grand Phallus Je ne sais quoi

[–] cgarret3@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago

The term is secure or self-secure.

As in: “it didn’t bother him because he is secure in himself”

[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago
[–] coconutking@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Yes; and more specifically, it’s a quiet confidence.

I think it's analogous to referring to balls the size of wrecking balls or something. I don't know of anyone who thinks bigger physical balls are superior to smaller balls, but the phrase is still common to denote courage. I think big dick energy is not as decoupled from people's biology as big balls, but it's still mostly decoupled in common usage.

[–] Grayox@lemmy.ml 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I could see how the phrase implies that, however this meme subverts that by saying that dick size doesn't matter as much as your energy does. And the meme literally says that small dick energy is bad, not having a small pp.

[–] criitz@reddthat.com 12 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Small dick energy is bad but not small dicks? How does that make any sense. Think about it.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Saying small dick energy is just a different way of calling someone out for acting insecure it has nothing to do with the size of their dick.

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Insecure like someone with a....?

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 4 points 10 months ago

Insecurity problem

[–] Grayox@lemmy.ml 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Bruh the only time I've ever used the term BDE is to imply that the size of your pp doesn't matter with this meme. Im sorry its upset you, but i dont really care. Trans men can have BDE without even having a dick. YOU are the one implying that small dicks are bad, not me.

[–] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (3 children)

Honestly your whole argument is very reminiscent of people in the early 2000s using the word "gay" synonymously with "bad" and insisting it's not only inoffensive to gay people but that anyone who thinks otherwise is the real homophobe.

The whole "big/small dick energy" things is inherently rooted in body shaming for reasons that have already been pointed out. It doesn't matter that you didn't mean it in that way or that you're trying to flip the script by saying your energy doesn't necessarily reflect or corporate to your penis size.

doesn't matter as much

[–] irmoz@reddthat.com 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

It does literally refer to penis size. Hiding it behind the word "energy" is just obfuscation. It reminds me of racist people defending the N word by saying, "there's black people, then there's Ns. Black people are fine, Ns aren't."

You're just kicking the can down the road. It's the exact same idea, phrased differently. You just wanna say "small dick" and get away with it, that's all.

[–] Zehzin@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

MFer did you just compare "small dick energy" to the n word 💀

[–] irmoz@reddthat.com 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Did you just describe what I did in a reductive way, without even attempting to explain your point? Why should I listen to you?

Try attacking the idea itself: "You’re just kicking the can down the road. It’s the exact same idea, phrased differently."

[–] Zehzin@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (2 children)

"That's reductive", said the N-word comparer 💀💀

[–] irmoz@reddthat.com 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Attack the argument or accept that you're wrong.

"Small dick energy" is just a way to say "small dick" without getting called out for it.

[–] Zehzin@lemmy.world -1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Begging people to debate you about how saying small dick energy is like dropping hard Rs is the most small dick energy thing I can think of, no thanks

[–] irmoz@reddthat.com 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (8 children)

See, you still show no evidence you have any clue what I'm saying, so how can I take you seriously? I never said it is "like droping hard Rs". Seriously, get up to speed or get lost.

Ooh, name calling! Based on a willful misinterpretation of what they said, too. A sure sign of a solid argument!
