    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 removeds” or racist bullshit as “jokes” to me.

      imo there’s a big difference between someone venting about a desire for racial supremacy over people they see as genetic inferiors born to serve them with an overblown provocative statement, and people venting about being frustrated with men being misogynistic creeps to them with an overblown provocative statement.

      Especially since my original post wasn’t even saying “kill all men”, I just used it as an example, like, I don’t think that all cis men are bad, there are plenty of great ones, but I’ve had enough older cis men tell me how “incredibly r*peable” I look in DMs or send me unsolicited dick pics and stuff, and like had another one being a creep at me earlier today, that I was feeling more frustrated with them earlier. So forgive me for inserting some of my frustration into a comment barely anyone will see under some random meme.

        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.
