Some on both sides of that coin take it very seriously. Some think, “Yeah, all cishet men are shit!” And the others, who have seen that type of shit in person are like “Yo, wtf.”
Maybe I’m just a stick in the mud, but “jokes” like that are as funny as those who spout nazi bullshit or “kill trannys” or racist bullshit as “jokes” to me.
Why, though? Isn’t that discriminatory?
Pretty much. If they made a “Pokemon Fitness” that tracked steps or heart rate and calories burned, it would be the same thing. “Your steps were converted to fitness energy! Here are the Pokemon you met in your walk!”
It’s not a game, it’s a gamified tool. It’s a sleep tracking app with gameplay elements to keep one interested.
Look, I wasn’t trying to be inflammatory or anything, just giving you my perspective on things.
Making a blanket statement against any group of individuals is bigotry. I’m sorry you have had bad experiences with some people, and I’m sure some racism can be stemmed from bad personal experiences as well.
I, too, have been told I am abusing my kids by the mere act of coming out as trans. I’ve been told to kill myself. I reported those messages on my profile to steam, and their accounts are still active.
I’ve been called a liar for telling my story, telling only the truth, because trans people are terrible, manipulative rapists in their eyes.
So, yes, I feel your pain. But don’t perpetuate the stereotypes about anyone, please.
