Oh I get it, it's funny because he's a filthy degenerate who crossdresses. If he was not that, and simply an accessory to a fascist administration, then there would be nothing to make fun of. Lucky for us super cool totally not fascists, he's one of those disgusting fuckin abominations who gets off on roleplaying as the opposite sex and defying God's natural plan.
I swear to god dude, some rainbow-capitalist liberal government is what's gonna send me to a camp if I ever get to one, yall are fuckin defenseless against fascism.
I agree.
I do get it. Part of me wants to do the same because I find their worldviews to be ridiculous and that makes me want to use them to insult them even more. It seems ridiculous, like telling someone "you're a duck, quack quack quack," and them then being gravely insulted. It's just stupid. They're just stupid.
The reality, though, is there are enough of these bigots that they affect the reality we all live in, including the meaning of the terms they use, and this changes the implications when others use them. I don't use them, despite my childish, vindictive urge to do so, because I don't want to further reinforce the hurt they've already caused.
Here's the thing, it doesn't matter what is cathartic for you if your response to fascists functions to further their goals. The fundamental joke of this post is that this man is foolish for pretending to be a woman. Whether or not he is "stupid" for being a bigot with a crossdressing kink (as many bigots do), the common value both in his fetishization of feminisation and jokes such as this is that it is demeaning to present feminine in a male body.
Liberals are far too self-satisfied with identifying "hypocrisy" in this man's actions to interrogate their own misogyny and transphobia when they respond to it. They think their internally held values somehow reduces the consequences of their actions, so contributing to the genocide of trans people through the reinforcement of these values is misrecognized as justified because they are, "making fun of the bad guys;" much to the benefit of fascists.
You know I'm agreeing with you in my previous comment, right?
Yes, and I saw an opportunity to explain further, as you seemed to think it was the meaness that was the problem.
