You know those movies about those little nerd boys who get with really hot girls, and those girls eventually learn to settle for a little nerd boy because he’s kinda nice sometimes? Propaganda.
You know those movies and shows where the little nerd girl has to change absolutely every aspect that makes her, her, starting by her appearance, so she can get the really hot boy, while when it’s the other way around the girl just settles with the nerd boy? Propaganda.
fyi “it’s just a joke” is a tired excuse. if it was a joke it’s meant to be funny, if it has a potential to hurt or alienate innocent people it’s a bad joke because it’s ruining the atmosphere.
here is a funny joke: i poison a cake with an ingredient only you are allergic to. u start crying & i say “well it’s just a cake! no need to cry about it. i just wanted everyone to eat this delicious cake but u ruined it. keep ur allergies to urself”
Literally poisoning someone is not the same as hurting someone’s feelings.
you’re right! if only there was a word for when u make comparisons between things that are not exactly the same to illustrate a point… oh well
