Pronouns???

Not my fault you can't read between the lines

I can read between lines; but there's still no need to make fun. I don't get your point.

Well apache does have a point

They really don't.

What point are they making with their comments? Other than being rude and mocking the community? If they want to have a say in something like this, they should be more informative.

But of course that logic is beyond you.

I am amazed they haven't been banned yet considering I was banned for saying '' wtf is wrong with you '' to someone who was being racist for two weeks.

Like you can be blatantly Transphobic etc all you want, so long as you don't specifically say anything rude directly aimed at someone apparently.

Apache's point was pretty clear.

Since I can't seem to read between lines (oops?) then mind explaining then?

I think humour is in itself quite subjective. It wasn't so long ago that many comedy shows used to make fun of pretty much everybody from all sorts of different backgrounds and walks of life. I know a number of British TV shows that did just that.

The policing of humour, to me, is much along the same lines of someone saying that because they don't like eating meat everybody else should cease to do it as well.

I find crude humour to be crude and dislike it. With that said, I've never felt inclined to police what other people find funny and so I'd maybe cringe and then shrug and go about my day as normal.

Of course, with the terms of service being written the way that they are it's a gamble to joke about anything around these parts - so for that reason, I'd urge others not to do so.

As someone who’s transmasc myself, but prefers the aesthetics of female avatars ingame, I wouldnt mind something like this being added - but I also understand and agree that it would take a while to implement and shouldnt be considered a priority.

For anyone confused- when a cismale wears makeup, theyre still a man. When a cisfemale cosplays as a male character for a convention, theyre still female. It doesnt change how they internally identify with their gender, and it doesnt mean they wish to transition just because they chose to outwardly express their gender differently. Similarly, if someone is trans, the gender they identify as isnt going to change just because they wish to wear makeup or skirts, or upkeep a beard or something. Their gender is still their gender, they just choose to express themselves differently.

There is a difference between jokes involving racism that Dave Chappelle makes and George Carlin made and between essentially just saying the n-word and laughing at it for example.
When you just repeat something like that over and over again and laugh at it then at some point I have to question why you think it's funny, there's no actual clever joke there.

Usually when there is no actual thought behind the joke like the '' apache helicopter '' jokes it just boils down to the person being Transphobic and that's why they think it's funny.

Reposting a bad joke from a decade ago isn't funny. I mean, if you're a middle schooler, maybe.

Honestly, just grow a pair and use a slur at that point.

Other people are free to believe as much, I don't leap to such conclusions myself however. Some of the most pleasant people I've ever met swear like sailors and make crude jokes, yet if you ever need anything they're the first to step up and offer help.

Meanwhile, most of the people I've met who are quick to police the thoughts and opinions of others are among the first to drive a dagger through my back the moment it becomes advantageous to do so. Or they simply refuse to step up and offer actual aid when the opportunity presents itself.

Perhaps others have had different experiences, though.

Humans are nuanced beings and I think society needs to reflect that on many fronts.

I don't want to be the one to tell you guys, but do you realize that you are arguing with a troll and his alts? It's ridiculous how you bite the baits
