The efficacy of selling solutions to insecurity in one’s masculinity is rather disturbing.
EDIT: changed comment to not accidentally dunk on comrades (or anyone) dealing with ARFID
let's not conflate people not eating vegetables because they're gross with people who don't eat vegetables because of the fear that anything other than a diet of raw animal products will make their junk wither and fall off
I know a lot of comrades with ARFID that can make vegetables super difficult to eat, they also get bullied for it by these raw meat freaks
yeah, we are at least 5 orders of magnitude down into the road of madness. one thing is eating mostly animal products because thats just the environment you grew up in. another is avoiding vegetables or legumes because you dislike them, or find them yucky. another entirely is the weird 'i am a carnivore' identity formed just because vegans exist.
and then there's whatever this is. raw meat is a thing in multiple cuisines and its got nothing to do with the psychosexual hangups these people have.
sits at the same table as this bumper sticker I saw on a truck that read "You keep your prius, I'll keep my testicles"
somehow these people have convinced themselves that other peoples' consumption choices are a direct threat to their own genitals
you know, Brazil has as much if not more of a chattle culture than the US but I feel kinda blessed that it is more or less impossible to convince people here that beans are poison. i'm sure brazilian vegans have had bad experiences with myths and folk lore surrounding the need for animal products. but even so, nobody's grandma is gonna be like 'wow you're skinny and your problem is too much plants in your diet'.
Right-wingers love (although they’re in the right for this) calling out liberals for making small dick jokes, but almost half of all the right’s arguments to men is “if you disagree with me, your hog is small.”
I’m so sorry, I never heard that some folks struggled with that. I’ll just change my snarky comment.

Yeah it's a fairly common among autistic people in particular, since sensory sensitivities can make entire categories of foods a no-go. The categories vary wildly from person to person, but vegetables and even fruits are cited frequently as unsafe-foods due to texture, strong taste, and/or high variation between different . It can be pretty severe too, my own sensory sensitivities aren't that bad compared to many of my autistic comrades, but getting a surprise chunk of mushroom in something has put me off my appetite for multiple meals in a row before, and sometimes a cucumber being in something like salad imparts enough lingering bitter flavor to ruin the whole thing even if I pick it out. It's super annoying to deal with as-is, and that's before heaping on the way some people love to openly mock or mess with you for being "picky" or "childish" or whatever.
