even if the aliens were a warlike tribe, we would probably still feel contempt as well as a sense of hope for the future IF their penises were quite small. “we can beat these little-dicked fuckers!” would be a prevailing sentiment.

but if they were good-looking bros with huge dicks, our fighting spirit would just liquesce. and if they were buff, too? jesus. would we even bother resisting?

imagine if our people were watching shows from the alien homeworld, and the shows were full of jacked bros who didn’t always wear pants, and even when they did, the bulges were huge. our bravado – if any remained – would be laughable.

this would be true even if the war itself involved so many drones and robots and intermediated battles that personal contacts with aliens were unlikely.
