A meme can be about multiple things. If Spiderman was a sensitive topic to vulnerable populations being used as a punchline to score political points, then I would be objecting to including Spiderman like that. But that’s not the case. Instead it’s trans suicide that’s being used insensitively, as a punchline to score political points, which is why I objected to it. Because I don’t consider the topic of trans suicide and appropriate subject matter to joke about, or to include references to in a joke “about” something else.
So you’re genuinely doubling down and saying this joke is about Spiderman. Thats ridiculous.
But let’s remember that you’ve also asserted that liking a meme means advocating for anything it includes. So by your logic, I’m a huge fan of Spiderman, glasses, blue wallpaper, and shirtlessness. Such sound reasoning!
Mocking transphobes =/= joking about trans suicide.
Like I said – it went over your head.
Joking about trans suicide = joking about trans suicide. It didn’t go over my head, you just didn’t understand why I objected to it.
Including X in a joke about Y does not make the joke about X.
You didn’t get it.
Yes it literally does.
No it literally doesn’t.
This meme is on the subject of and concerning trans suicide, it is, objectively, a joke about trans suicide.
The subject of the joke is transphobes thinly veiling their transphobia.
Your logic would say this joke is about Spiderman, which is absurd.
