Probably an actual unpopular opinion:

Even though I love Thunberg for all she's done for the world – so much more than I ever will – in this one tweet that is going around she is a useful idiot for the far right and doing exactly what the guy she's dunking on wanted. The only one who gains anything of consequence from this is that guy, the hatefueld world view he spreads, and his far right friends. No matter how many lols this gets from her supporters, it's not worth making him more known.

Possibly even more unpopular (or maybe not, I'm sure I'll find out, but then again I'm neither black nor a woman, so maybe I won't):

"Small dick energy" is a form of body shaming we should not engage in.

"An inherit part of who you are, that you have no influence over, is so bad that we use it as an insult against horrible people" is not making the world a better place. We understand that when it comes to slurs about ethnicity and sexual predispositions, we should understand it with anatomy.

@forteller
I absolutely agree, though I suspect that particular insult stings the most for Tate.

@forteller I think this is a misunderstanding of language. SDE is not a comment on actual penis size. I have no reason to think Greta Thunberg knows that creep's penis size. It is a comment on cockiness.

I think I agree that the best thing would have been if she ignored him completely, but I think getting hung up on her wording is totally unwarranted.

@oysteib I disagree. I understand the difference between energy and anatomy, but why is small dick energy bad and big dick energy good? It is obviously sending a very clear message that these sizes in anatomy are good or bad. We should avoid this.

@forteller A fair viewpoint to have. I still disagree with it though - excessive focus on minutiae of language diverts from real issues. More debate, less meta-debate.

@oysteib @forteller It’s a different discussion, it just happened to blow up now. It’s been brewing for a couple of years at this point.

Probably not the best entry point into the subject matter, but worth talking about. But maybe not just today.

@forteller sdkflsfskls to me this reads "outdated memes, left target audience" - as the whole big dick energy is .. the counterpart to this, where body parts are abstract symbols or something.

(and it's debatable whether or not that was ever a _good_ thing to coin in the first place, but at this point it's been through 2349452 interpretations, wrong and right uses, so on, and so forth.)
