"This close"

I legit had to zoom in as much as I could to make sure I was reading it right because I thought I was reading what the OP said they resisted doing ( ≧∀≦)

That was too long or too short to fit there ;).
I don't believe using dick jokes, I believe the only reason to mock a person it's their deeds.

(っ◕‿◕)っ That's a good attitude. I try but it's been hard catching myself all the time.

Tho for something so standalone, I find it hard to conceive of it as mocking a person in particular -- if anything it would be more like mocking the concept of those idiots who have to make sure everyone knows how "big" they are. Maybe that's just me ticking another box in the autistic column.

I believe the problem is that the joke keeps conditioning everyone. It keeps mentioning that size matters.

Now if we start actually making fun of lifted trucks or those riced out fiat500s without the muffler or even those pavement princesses (or the truck nuts) OMG so many - that way you mock the behavior.

When trans gay and all the rainbow colors and pan and whatnots should be accepted - bringing up body shaming as a joke just sad.
