Didn’t you know? Everything liberals do is activism. Just like every black character is a political statement, or how every vegan is an extremist.
I say that in jest, but some people legit can’t fathom their “out” group being normal, every day people. The scary truth is that for some folks, daring to exist at all is seen as a form of protest.
Context matters here. I think the joke is that this gender-swapped picture would really piss off Elon Musk in particular because he’s so openly and proudly transphobic.
It absolutely is not morally sound, but it clearly feels right to many. We regularly justify these attacks because such people seem to deserve any and all suffering for their values and misdeeds.
Yeah i don’t think i would really like this sort of joke normally. But given he’d rather say his son died to the woke virus than admit he has a trans daughter… fuck elon.
Its not a misgendering. It is a mocking of his reverence to trump and cozying up ahead of the swear-in ceremony. If it pisses him off… it’s his own transphobia to blame. We’re just encouraging him if he’s an egg.
If the point isn’t to misgender him, then call him first gentleman. First lady is misgendering him. It feels justified and extra effective because of his transphobia. But it isn’t about misogyny.
Maybe, although I personally don’t get that at all. Then again I’m not exactly a misogynist and do enjoy drag… Maybe I do want to see Elon in legit* drag after all. And I do mean something legit–not the diarrhea of frat bro tropes he’d inevitably lean into.
Can we get a fanfic going about Elon’s secret drag performance addiction instead of ketamine? I’d probably read it, but I’d also be glad it exists.
Elon doesn’t read your tweets. This does nothing.
You say that but we all remember him personally mass banning elon musk parody accounts and banning photos of himself he didn’t like.
So he does read your tweets. This still does nothing. This is just the lamest form of activism, and as recent evidence shows, it clearly doesn’t work.
…you think this is meant to be activism? Indeed, you think this IS (the lamest form of) activism???

Liberals are the people we hate. Republican flavor especially.
Okay Elon
Pretty sure the only thing this is meant to accomplish is annoying Elon and his fanboys.
Pretty sure it’s working on one fanboy at least.
makes us happy though
There’s nothing in your heart for laughing into the abyss?
No, it does something. It conveys that it’s shameful to be feminine.

That’s like saying it’s okay to call someone a fag if they are a homophobe.
It absolutely is not morally sound, but it clearly feels right to many. We regularly justify these attacks because such people seem to deserve any and all suffering for their values and misdeeds.
That has nothing to do with why we avoid such slurs; they harm people OTHER than whomever you are trying to harm.
That makes sense. I agree.

Context? On the internet? No thank you. I’ve made my snap decision and I’m right.
Not really, it’s making fun of him for being sexist.
By being sexist.
Yes, in the same way that Family Guy can get away with sexist and racist jokes. They’re making people like that look like clowns.
It’s in the same realm as satire
That’s exactly how Elon thinks which is why the tweet is great.
I think intentionally being misgendered pisses most people off.

Musk has previously described himself as an “alpha male”, it will annoy him for sure.
