    this is such a stupidly pathetic insult that really just pisses me off to no end when people say it. hell it’s not even an insult, it’s just stupid and always has been… might as well just make fun of people for skin colour and gender.

      It was always about making fun of insecure masculinity, which is a very outsized problem in our current moment. But I do think you’re right and I’ll start calling out that instead. ✌️

      I agree with you.

      But you know who doesn’t agree with us? Aggressive hateful bigoted trumper assholes. And when you throw such a non-insult their way, it is their own hate and prejudice that turns it into something they take as an insult. At best it shines a light on the shitty attitude by turning it against the wielder, and at worst it gives the targets of their shit a little catharsis.

      Even with the more tame versions, like “emotional support truck,” I assume we agree that a person who needs and responds well to an emotional support animal are not bad people. But you know who loves to assume that anything like that is a some kind of character flaw? Aggressive hateful bigoted trumper assholes. :)

      Those aren’t a choice. Driving a pavement princess 100% is.

      They usually try to justify it with the loose excuse of hauling or towing things, that they do maybe twice a year. It’s pathetic.

      The ones that actually get used regularly for their design are obvious, because they’re beat up from use. And from my experience, they also tend to be the ones that don’t park like this. Likely because backing in means you can’t actually load anything in the bed.

        I don’t give a damn about the trucks/drivers. Insult them all you want. don’t use body parts as insults. it’s no different then using skin color, or saying someone is a lesser human because they have small tits or if their balding they are a weak human…

        they are bad insults that make innocent people feel inferior for no reason.

        When I was working a Lowe’s I had loads of princesses rolling through with monster trailers, hauling tons of rock and lumber.

          Yeah, but of all the things to take a stand on and put energy into, this? Really?

          People are starving, kids are homeless, but this is your stance against society?
