Yeah I'd give this as a prime example of a joke that belonged in containment. It's funny in trans spaces because it plays up internal stereotypes and feels like a comedic exaggeration of if not your friend group, one you know. But please for the love of all that's holy I don't want to see my brother in law asking me to explain this joke. And I really don't want bigots to see this and treat it as gospel instead of community teasing. I would honestly rather explain transgendercirclejerk posts from a decade ago to cis people, despite the fact that early in transition I was the person this post is joking about.
it's honestly crazy how wild memes are to non-internet people. I showed my mom the delta p meme thats on main right now and she had no idea what delta p even is, and you cant really explain how you find divers turning to a tube of toothpaste funny
I can't imagine if I had to explain why I upvoted a meme on the intricacies of transfem intercourse to someone I know irl ๐ญ
This checks out. I saw the picture and the phrase "This kills the crab" ran through my mind. I can maybe explain the chain of memes and references that got me there, but not well enough to explain why it made me laugh. Digital archeology is going to be a wild experience a century from now.
If it makes it any better I thought it was the trans equivalent of two guys beating the ever loving shit out of eachother and then becoming best friends.
