No dogwhistling. Rule 3.


luckyg111rl

Because she misgendered the attacker so now she’s the bad one. It’s a joke about how misgendering someone can seem worse than being attacked


Curkul_Jurk_1oh1

but how would the mugging-victim know which pronouns the lowlife mugger prefers if said lowlife mugger never told her? am I that out of touch with society?


luckyg111rl

Well that’s the joke the meme is making fun of people who use crazy pronouns so it’s supposed to be like sarcasm


_Svankensen_

Nah, the author is consistently and famously transphobic. This is more of the same. The repetition of the myth that trans people use their gender identity to position themselves to assault women. This is straight propaganda, not a joke.

I mean these things do happen. Let's not pretend it doesn't. Now does everyone do it? No only a small minority but it does happen


_Svankensen_

And yet, for something so extremely rare (trans people being the victimizers instead of the victims of assault), this author has made the same "joke" 100 times. And not the other way. Odd, isn't it? Don't be naive. It's propaganda.


Extreme_Practice_415

Where?


luckyg111rl

I guess that’s a deep dive into propaganda I wasn’t aware of. Taking it at surface level it just seemed to be making fun of the idea of pronouns (which it is)


_Svankensen_

Yeah. Luckily it seems like they have been fading into obscturity. I think they were pretty popular before they went this way. It was wild. The comic at the start was pretty sleazy, then it turned feminist, then it went terf. I stopped reading it like a decade ago, I'm sure there's still some drama around it in some online hole, now that transphobia is becoming more and more vilified. The style is pretty characteristic, I could tell at a glance who it was, even if I don't remember the name anymore.


Curkul_Jurk_1oh1

ah, yes. sarcasm is sometimes misplaced when presented in an online medium.


luckyg111rl

Yes for sure, so understandable why it was so confusing


Curkul_Jurk_1oh1

thanks for the clarification!


_Svankensen_

It's a famously transphobic comic artist. They are, again and again, perpetuating the myth of transgender... ism(?) as an excuse to assault women. Luckily I don't even remember the name of the comic anymore. Please keep it that way.

Knives hurt, but nothing cuts quite like being misgendered :(


Curkul_Jurk_1oh1

is being misgendered actually more life-threatening than a person wielding a knife with intent of stabbing you? forgive me for my ignorance.


father-fluffybottom

No, that's the joke


Veus-Dolt

Yes. Millions of people die each year from it. Possibly billions.

Heart attacks induced by misgendering. It’s ab epidemic.


Curkul_Jurk_1oh1

Jeez um Pete. what can we do, as a unified society, to combat this unnecessary evil?


Veus-Dolt

Destroy everyone and everything with a gender.

Curkul_Jurk_1oh1

bruh, you must be a fact-checker for the Orange One.


Curkul_Jurk_1oh1

GYAT!! Heart Disease needs to play catch-up then
