Just because they used the word "dick" doesn't mean it's homophobic/mysognist. Also it doesn't detract from their other points.

The insurgents had been shooting people and using bombs or mortars and artillery since at least 2014. They even shot down airplanes back then. It wasn't just the Ukrainian government.

OK, but why take the Russian propaganda for their word? And at some point you have to take some evidence of historical accounts or you're just going going by conspiracy theories.

I had to circle back to this one because the comment in question was not just misogynist for using " dick", but because of the implication that dickriding bad, why else use it in that context if it was intended to read as a positive connotation?

As soon as libs feel like it's a "safe" target they just let loose with the misogyny and homophobia.

I didn't address the threads they presented as evidence because I didn't see anything wrong.

Yes, since the coup shit has been absolutely fucked, and all diplomatic solutions have been derailed.

I don't take Russian propaganda at their word, I also have decades of history to reference, all the rabid-ass Ukrainian propaganda, plus literally paying attention to shit going on in the last decade
