    If he’s an adult then he deserves every bit of criticism he’s ever gotten. But if he’s a child, then why are you picking on a little kid?

    I always thought being a rapist was traditionally reserved for adults anyway.

          ROFL! Know who you’re arguing with before you go editing the worst others… mmmmkay?

          No, I can definitely stand to see someone call a rapist a rapist. I’m just not going to argue irrelevant details over what I meant by “man” just because you decided to focus on the wrong part of my point.

          In my eyes, he’s no man. He’s barely a human to be honest. So let’s not make assumptions of people we don’t know, savvy?

            If you don’t like Trump, why do you keep defending him by calling him a child and a narcissist? Why do you keep putting the role of victim on him when he’s a rapist and a Nazi? Trump is not a child, he’s responsible for his actions. And he’s not a narcissist, his actions are not the result of queerness or disability. He is a neurotypical, heterosexual, adult man. He is a privileged, powerful, bigoted individual. Erasing his privilege and trying to paint him as a vulnerable minority is inexcusable.

                Well asexuals are widely recognised as queer and hardly anyone who has the faintest political literacy is against them. It’s not like Fox News is going after them like they go after gay and trans people, so when someone is aphobic they’re generally considered absolutely ridiculous by the kinds of people who use Lemmy. And calling Trump asexual would seem to imply that he’s not a rapist and serial sexual assaulter, which he absolutely is. I’m never going to stand for somebody calling Trump asexual.

                  Ok, but how is calling someone a narcissist a defense?

                  Are you under the bizarre impression that ‘narcissist’ is a synonym for ‘asexual?’

                    Yeah, it’s based on the Greek character Narcissus, who was hated for being asexual. One of the incels he rejected prayed to Nemesis to make him fall in love with that which he cannot have, so she made him fall in love with his reflection so he’d starve to death. It’s a story about how Greek culture was aphobic. They didn’t understand asexuality and attributed not wanting to fuck anyone to hubris. So if you call someone a narcissist, you’re saying they have an asexuality motivated by pride. Which is honestly aphobic and disgusting nonsense.

              Okay… you’re not getting it and I’m not a fan of exercising futility. So let’s call it a day.

                I understand that you think you’re dunking on Trump, but that’s not what your actions are. You don’t seem to grasp the fact that accusing a Nazi of being a minority isn’t a dunk.

                  You understand that you’re not the authority on what a “dunk” is.

                  Just walk away from this. It’s pointless. We’re done.
