I’d get over it, pretty quick. I saw plenty of naked male bodies showering after gym class, enough to last me another twenty, thirty years or so. Yeah, I’m good. Have you considered just not reading _Cosmopolitan_? Just because you and Glenn Beck don’t like seeing depictions of male nudity doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t exist at all. (Yes, I know you’re only joking. Deep down, so is Beck, probably. I just think it’s a really stupid joke, whose only real purpose is to convey the subtext “Hey folks, I’M NOT GAY and I think male nudity is gross and disgusting and I don’t want to look at it and in fact I think nobody should ever look at it which clearly shows that I’M NOT GAY!!!” Yes dear, we know you’re not gay and we don’t think you should have to look at male nudity if you don’t want to. Now go back to your room with your copy of _Playboy_ and stop using the Sharpie to draw fig leaves on the statues in my _Renaissance Sculpture_ book.) ---

Yeah, but see, male nudity \*is \*gross. That’s the flaw in your whole thing, there. ---

I got subtext? When did I get subtext? I get enough shit for the stuff I actually say, now I got subtext? Is there an app for that? Can I send a subtext message? Maybe we should experiment with that, since we got a subtext expert here. I’ll write as clear a message as I can, tryng for zero subtlety, and you tell me if there’s subtext, OK? Bite me. ---

Do you mean “bite me” as in “go to hell” or “bite me” as in “I want you to nip my erogenous zones” On second thought, I don’t really want to know. ---

Well, clearly here the subtext is that you think \*\*Kimstu \*\*is the sort of being that would bite another person or a stranger, e.g. that he’s a dog or other wild animal. In telling him to bite you, you are in fact dehumanizing him. You know who else dehumanized his opponents ? HITLER. Good job telling the world what a Nazi you are, ' **luci**. ---
