Wow, doubling down on the penis thing. Do you always start conversations by talking about dicks or is there some mental trigger like the image of someone driving around enjoying their vehicle that sets off a need to bully and body shame others?
Halt! You have violated the law! Dissenting opinions are thought crime here sir! How dare you question what the c-concious of Lemmy says!!!! No disagreeing with the echo chamber!!!! Small dick!!! Don't enjoy truck!!!
Honestly this place is worse than reddit most of the time its fucking insufferable. Can't wait for someone to inevitability reply to my comment and prove my point.
My guy, you're the one getting triggered for being called a pencil-dicked truck driver.

Absolutely - any moron using an american truck at this point in time deserves to be bullied into having some decency and behaving with civility. Of course, I don't expect much from americans.
Explain why having a "pencil dick" makes someone a bad person that's what you're all flying past in your rage. And I don't even like those new trucks, they look retarded compared to old trucks which are better in every other way too.
Good, I see you’ve calmed down a little bit as there were fewer dick comments in that last post.

You seem to now seem to have now moved onto victim shaming. It’s not unreasonable that a small group of people who enjoy driving their vehicles would defend themselves. Just because they choose to identify as a gender and commute in a particular vehicle type doesn’t mean you have the right to bully or sexually harass and try to silence them.
I hate to assume anything about other people on the internet but from your prior comments it sounds like you are not an American. Our country is vast, it can take two or three days of constant driving to cross it. It’s not fair to assume that everyone is privileged like yourself and lives next to an airport or a passenger train network. If we wish to go camping and bring recreational equipment then a small passenger vehicle may not be viable and could even damage it due to the excessive loads and distance that needs to be traveled. Many roads within our park system are simply not safely navigable without a 4wd system and some kind of additional wheel clearance.
Many Americans also don’t live in dense urban environments and need the utility of a truck to transport tool’s equipment or materials to their homes whenever repairs or renovations are needed to their property. You might be financially privileged, but many are not financially able to afford to pay for commercial services to make repairs or so simple maintenance on their property. A older large truck is very appealing to them.
Finally many trucks are more efficient than their car counterparts. The Ford Lightning is a fully electric option for those who need a large pickup. The Ford Maverick truck gets better mileage than many Honda or Toyota cars and can costs thousands less.
I hope in the future you can remember to check your privilege and refrain from making assumptions about a genders choices in the type of vehicle they drive. Bullying and persecution are never acceptable.
