    But what if it’s in the positive? Damn girl I like your fat ass. But I can see it being used negatively.

    I like Big Dick Energy though. Can we keep that?

      Nope. Far too misogynistic and aggressive. It implies there are small dicks and it even completely ignores people born without dicks or had them removed.

      The point is, there is no such thing as perfection. We all follow the “Open mouth and insert foot” rule on occasion. But we can try to do our best knowing we will often fail. And when others fail us in return, we must learn to gently correct and forgive.

      I think you answered your own question? It depends on meaning and context, not just words themselves. And while positive messages intersect the overarching topic, they’re different enough that we can’t just bundle them together and treat them in the same fashion.

      I like Big Dick Energy though. Can we keep that?

      Can’t handle the magnitude of that question on my own, I’m afraid.
