TIL About The Small Penis Rule

[trumpman]

Here's something interesting I learnt today!

There's this thing called the small penis rule, an informal strategy used by authors to evade libel lawsuits.

In simple words, it's a dubious strategy where an author gives a fictional character that us based on a real person a small penis. That in the hope to deter a potential lawsuit out of embarrassment.

The main idea is that no male will come and say "hey, that character with the small dick, yeah that's me".

Although it sounds fool proof foolproof some legal experts argue that such a tactic could actually increase liability as it's a form of defamation.

The rule recommends that when an author utilizes a fictional character to defame a real-life person, he should also give the character a small penis—the logic being that in order to sue, a plaintiff would have to admit that he is the fictional character, therefore admitting that he has a small penis, and thus dissuading such litigation. In this first-ever Article to address the issue, evidence is provided for why this is an unwise strategy because it would likely cause an increase in defamation liability. source

A notable case is case between Michael Crowley and Michael Crichton.

Crowley alleged that after he wrote an unflattering review of Crichton's novel State of Fear, Crichton included a character named "Mick Crowley" in the novel Next. The character is a child rapist, described as being a Washington, D.C.–based journalist and Yale graduate with a small penis. source

Anyways, not much else to say on the subject. Just a piece of fun trivial I encountered today. Feel free to click the links above to read more on the subject.

It's an interesting way to defame people. I guess it would be weird to see and I definitely wouldn't want to be called like that.
