About cargo holds, I'm not sure where you got the impression that cargo holds are unheated and unpressurized. The design of almost all commercial aircraft places the cargo areas within the confines of the pressurized area to limit. Exceptions will come on small unpressurized aircraft or ones with an additional external baggage compartment (Jetstream models with external pod for carry-ons that don't fit under the seat). Cargo areas are also fed with the same air feed as the cabin with additional heat as an option, but must be able to be isolated in case of a fire (cut off air supply, and contain the fire suppressant).
I think reading the following might help shed some light on the post you quoted:

During one flight, my girlfriend and I booked seats together for a trip to Hong Kong. Once we were at cruising altitude, the meal service began. We were given a pair of chopsticks each. My girlfriend and I began joking around (i.e. playing) with the chopsticks with each other. The FA noticed this and said to my girlfriend if she wanted me to move to a different seat. I had no idea why she would say this since we were joking around with each other. She then said to her “we can move him to cargo if you want” referring to me. I thought the comment was inappropriate but I did not make a big deal about it. On another flight, after the customs cards were handed out, the same FA (I recognized her from the previous flight) noticed that I had the customs card in my hand and saw me tapping my girlfriend on the shoulder. She immediately said to me “You don’t have to bother her, you can fill it out on your own”. I never asked for her input. I couldn’t see why, on two separate occasions, the FA needed to get involved (i.e. meddle) in our business. Are there similar experiences out there or other negative experiences with FA‘s?
I think both comments were just meant to be conversational joking between the FA and your girlfriend. I can't make the leap and say the FA was in any way serious or actually condemning you. I think a good dose of lightening up might be in order.
