honestly i really don't find tranny jokes all that funny. when i see an older mtf i see a lost man who is no longer man. not a woman, but instead a strange beast, if a beast could ever look like such a clown. when i see a young man who's embracing the stupid femboy meme or going mtf, i see a young impressionable chap who's being humiliated, exploited, and potentially committing himself to a very hazardous path. men who are struggling with depression, plagued with bizarre fetishes, or faced with identity crisises are given an incredibly extreme solution to their problems now, and one that doesn't work too well. it's a shame they don't deal with these struggles in a way which will end up making them stronger. if you take a small step back you'll find the entire situation to just be almost unfathomably evil. #TransVisibilityDay

i don't think you can bully someone out of this path so that's not the answer, and i don't buy the philosophy that anyone was meant to be trans, not even from the perspective of "the weak will be weak and it's their destiny to succumb" -- see zyzz. #TransVisibilityDay

@amnesiac@poa.st shouldn't men be free to do whatever dumb things they wish?

@fluffy@social.handholding.io sure, i definitely have myself, but men are blatantly being manipulated into doing some really harmful shit

@amnesiac@poa.st When you see something wrong and you're personally unable to do anything to stop it, isn't it better to help lift the spirits of those who can? That's what I try to do, anyway. The kinds of jokes I make may not be the ones you're thinking of though

@Binkle@kiwifarms.cc they probably aren't the types of jokes i'm thinking of based on how you just described their functionality. i'm not vouching for people to stop making trans jokes or anything like that, but i think people should be more conscious of what they're actually doing depending on what their intent actually is

[email protected] that's how i'm a lot of humor as well, and one of humors reliving graces for everyone, but i feel like some people make these jokes without realizing how fucked of a situation it really is

@amnesiac@poa.st that's hardly new. Look at millennials, manipulated by boomers to study sociology and art history. Look at soldiers rushing to die, drunk on propaganda. Look at pop culture promoting substance abuse. If you decide for them what is wrong, what to stop someone malicious from usurping your position when you die/retire, with disastrous consequences. Best to let men decide from themselves. You can pass laws saying you cannot hurt people, and enforce them.

> honestly i really don't find tranny jokes all that funny. So tell me, have you ever used the words "autist" or "retard" as an insult?

@cowanon@neckbeard.xyz retard all the time, i think autism is cool

@amnesiac@poa.st Which makes you a hypocrite. Typical leftist.

@cowanon@neckbeard.xyz i'm a leftist? ebin

@SmedleyButtHole@poa.st @amnesiac@poa.st So long as you aren't also bitching about making fun of trans that's perfectly fine.

@cowanon@neckbeard.xyz @SmedleyButtHole@poa.st if you interpreted my OP as me bitching then: ur an autist retard

@fluffy@social.handholding.io @amnesiac@poa.st those are small examples, just look at the majority of the planet that is going along with covid hysteria. the only places that aren't like florida aren't nonchalant because of scientific knowledge but just by the nature of following the cultural flock. the floridian grandma isn't reading studies in her spare time she's knitting or playing bingo. you don't need some propagandist force it's just the default mode of humanity to propagandize itself.
