I more read it implying that the barbarian was ridiculously hung, and the mere sight of it is enough to do damage. So not a dick, but his dick in particular. Which feels on brand for a barb.
Sure, but if the wizard were a woman, the joke wouldn't work, because no one would expect her eyes to bleed and she wouldn't "need therapy" simply from seeing a dick. Those parts only "work" because it's a dude seeing another dudes dick, and that part feels sus
Is it homophobic that I don't want to see anyones dick?
No, but if you think seeing one will make your eyes bleed and give you trauma, then it's a bit more than not wanting to see someones dick...
I don't think theres anything that would make my eyes bleed just by looking at it. Maybe itd be different if we lived in a world with magic, where someone insulting me physically hurts.
And yeah, seeing my friends dick wouldnt exactly traumatize me, but it would definitely be something i wouldve dramatically preferred didnt happen. I think the mental damage would be comparable to stubbing my toe, which is at least a d4.
