was good advice apparently because, me being 'one of the noobs not up to date on the latest issue' i wasn't really able to follow yesterday's meme because it was built on too many layers i hadn't been present for. This one tho i just think about and 'yeah makes sense'.
Thank you for the affirmation. Drag is going to keep posting these in increasing complexity until you understand the Cunk meme
My problem with the cunk meme is that drag goes into one of the most trans-inclusive places on the internet (lemmy.blahai.zone) and just straight up shits on all Lemmy users as being transphobic (that's what it sounds to me).
That makes no sense in that context.
Also I (as many others) have not had an interaction with a "person pretending to be a civilized trans person". And drag has not posted a link proving they exist.
To me the "pretending to be a civilized trans person" part this sounds completely bonkers and I can't understand how that "trolling" would work.
But yes, the Lisa Simpson meme makes sense in itself but is in dire need of an example more than an explanation.
The example is self-referential, drag is called a troll and told drag is pretending to be trans a lot, even though drag is pretty chill when you get to know drag.
Blahaj is trans inclusive, but Lemmy isn't. Even in this thread, the Blahaj mods have had to remove comments by people from other instances. Drag thought 196's users could agree that Lemmy at large is a lot less welcoming than Blahaj.
And drag doesn't think there are any trolls who pretend to be respectful trans people. But there are people who think drag is a troll pretending to be a respectful trans people. They think being trans is an effective troll because they hate trans people. As you say, it doesn't make much sense, except from a transphobic point of view.
Today drag will post another meme that drag hopes will explain more.
I don't really agree about the idea of Lemmy as a whole being any less inclusive than any other corner of the internet. If anything, I would say it is slightly more inclusive (though some of it definitely is not genuine, like the entire instance that will go full white knight mode).
The example, and what went on in the comments here is my first experience with this particular brand of transphobia. I've honestly had to do almost zero moderation in the trans focused community I made.
The amount of blatant hate that has been thrown my way (threatening and insulting DMs etc) has been about proportional to the user base here.
I'm sorry that drag has been the target of this kind of garbage, and thanks for making me aware of it. I hope drag keeps up the fight and doesn't let people get drag down.
