I just wish that people would stop using ableist slurs both her and even @godpod

"Why Punching Down Will Never Be Funny"

"A tradition in comedy says: Always punch up, never punch down. That is to say, don’t attack people who are already marginalized."

@ILikeBooks @godpod it's also not nice to reference weakness in a person by using women's genitals...but here we are and have been. I don't think people are being 'ableist'. I think they think women are weak and men can be over confident.
Both should probably stop referencing genitals.
"Pussy is used as a synonym for “weak,” someone who isn’t a daredevil, someone who is too shy to do something, someone who is all over failing to meet an expectation that the person uttering the word has set for them. It’s also a word I use in an endearing way to refer to my own genitals, and gee, it’s kind of upsetting to hear a word for my favorite body part used so negatively."
@SocialistStan @godpod he and you are not the ones being punched down. I am sure neither of you are hurt by what was said.
The ones hurt are all of the intersexed, nonbinary and trans people who see this language. Which you would have already found out if you had read the attached articles before commenting
Trigger warning - I'm about to be "that guy."
But isn't cropping an image like that a manipulative clickbait tactic? Cropping an image this way is purposeful, to urge us to click the image to see the whole thing.
I feel like this is the kind of thing I came to Mastodon to avoid. This platform is specifically structured so that there is no incentive to do things like that - we want to gravitate toward content organically, not because our monkey-brains were poked to.
Saying something because I'd like to see this kind of thing vocally discouraged by the community.
@godpod Hi God. How are you doing? Not great, let me tell you, that's how you are doing!!! 😉
I've reblogged this myself but I cannot and will not stop favouriting and boosting this. It's the least we can do. For me, it's a perfect storm. I like Greta so much and hate everything about Tate so much. BOOM!!! It's a perfect end to a year for me.
Cheers, God, laters potaters
Dave
He would be a spare part at a wedding, for sure!
@godpod He's trying to flip the burn.
I don't think even he believes it...
Oh. My. God.
