That’s because it wasn’t meant to be a debate, it was meant to illustrate a point.
People who didn’t get it and people who did get it but didn’t like it (i.e. misogynists) turned it into a debate. The latter also proved that point with the large number of rape and death threats.

I think what bothered most men wasn’t that he was large, but that a woman would feel safer with any gay man that was with them.

I’m bi and only chubby… Where do I fall in this?
MamboGator@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I think chubby bisexuals are classed as “pandas”

I do like being punched in the face…

I mean, as a dude, I damn sure would feel safest around lesbians if I was worried about that.
Idk what like the girl animal “equivalent” of a bear would be, except one that I am not quite sure if it is offensive or not.
Fucking queer is super accepted now, but then I watch my daughter, who has dated women before, and is not shy or ashamed, and I do believe is still fine with doing so in the future, call her brother or someone on YouTube gay as an insult.

The current “equivalent” I’ve seen is would you rather share your emotions with a tree or a woman.
Mongostein@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
A tree isn’t going to use those emotions you shared when your were feeling down against you when she gets mad that you forgot to unload the dishwasher two months later 🤷🏻♂️

A tree. Inanimated objects are good listeners.
NoIWontPickAName@kbin.earth 10 months ago
Tree, but I have anxiety issues and trees don’t trigger them

Exceptional woman over average tree. Average tree over average woman. Exceptional tree? Not sure.

I’m bi and call stuff I don’t like ‘gay’ all the time. I also call stuff I like ‘gay’. I don’t think that the use of a term by those it applies to can really be negative as its more of an empowerment thing abt takibg the word back for the community. It’s like getting mad at people that call each other the n-word (especially if you aren’t black yourself).

As a sasquatch, I’d feel safer around a gay man
NoIWontPickAName@kbin.earth 10 months ago
