As the rest of the Internet, I applaud Afroman for sticking it to unaccountable racist cops. I am just a bit sore that trans people were made, once again, the butt of the joke in the process.

It just means Afroman is okay with portraying antitrans rhetoric, cementing his place as an out-of-touch old person. I agree that being insensitive about the officers as individuals is a dick move and not acceptable, as it harms how easily future generations can wipe the toxicity out of society, and it would’ve been more appropriate to keep the focus on the real issue, which was abuse of authority by the force as a collective. Who knows which officers were responsible for the assault or the vandalism. But I’ll be honest –
I think verbal abuse by a disgruntled victim, even widespread abuse that can influence thousands, is nothing compared to the physical attack and complete disregard of how terrifying it is for your home to be invaded by an aggressive group of self-righteous strangers. Dude’s black and living in the USA, so the chance he gets murdered in his own home despite being innocent is also incredibly high. His existence was threatened, and that is a far worse crime than continuing to promote a harmful rhetoric about women who look more masc than the socially defined ideal standard.

These two things are on the same side of the scale really (systemic oppression).

The same is true for trans women. Very high chance of getting murdered especially when black.

We talk about very well defined anti-trans genocidal tropes here, WTF are you babbling about, watering it down like this?
