Comments like those make me glad for my instance, I very rarely see anything like them

The only thing I could think of when I saw that was worry about her own self-image... obviously won't comment trash like that unless providing context to further thoughts -

So long as she's happy or in the pursuit of her own personal happiness (even if not and just doing what she can do get through this shitty life,) whatever she looks like is none of my fucking business ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sucks to think of the unnecessary abuse she has to put up with from day to day.

fortunately i don’t think she browses lemmy, and i’ve seen the comments under the original video from where the image was pulled—they are all much kinder.

which is good news for her but the fact there was such a big pattern here is deeply troubling.

I saw this very post just a few moments ago. Holy shit, these guys can't keep it in their pants.

Oh hey, I'm in this screenshot making an off-color comment. We can debate misogyny and such, probably won't be very productive.

The thing I find interesting in this: "Italians Do It Better" is an inherently sexual statement. Everyone knows that IT is sex and maybe some other reference with this style of bumper sticker meme. That's what makes it funny. So then, is it wrong to make a sexual joke about someone who is wearing a funny sexual statement? I don't think so.

If she were wearing a plain tee or some other logo, I wouldn't make a sexual joke. This feels like white knight silliness to me.

The IT is vague and open-ended, not inherently sexual. Its inherently ambiguous and people fill in the blank with whatever is being referenced. We really don't know what IT means to the person wearing it, but you chose to make it sexual.

I don’t know how to tell you this, but when people refer to “doing it” without any additional context, they’re talking about sex. The shirt is undeniably sexual.

This format of tagline has been around since like the 70s. The IT is inherently sexual. Usually something like, "Diamond Cutters Do It Harder."

It's a double entendre and isn't funny without the sexual subtext.

So, unless there was a convention to redifine this joke that I didn't hear about; yeah, it's sexual. Anything else is just trying to contort common social mores to fit an agenda.

If it was a big hairy guy wearing a shirt that said "Bears Do It Better" I would also expect sexual jokes.

[–] mhague@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

I don't view it as being sexual. Too many people wear this corpo slogan as if it's just "proud to be X." It could be sexual, but unless I see other things that go with being overt, fun, sexual, joking, then I can't really make the conclusion.

I'm not saying everyone should think like that, just that plenty of people can see a woman wearing "Italians do it better" and not think sex.

And I'm far from being an ace. No idea why it doesn't sound like sex to me.
