Oh wow. Just wow. Iām so sorry dude.
Can we be cautious uncritically repeating old jokes that make trans people the punchline please?

I was just thinking of something.
Assuming Trump loses in November, heās still going to be screwing with GOP Policy for years afterwards through tweeting/hopping on fox news and other places for interviews. He will have a large power to swing votes with endorsements or ranting about people. Essentially an unhinged kingmaker on the right, ensuring that future presidential candidates continue to push right and give the racists red meat etc because if they donāt someone will and Trump will endorse that person etc.
Am i wrong?

Not to start a derail (or to speak for another poster), but I donāt think Devil was repeating anything uncritically. In this formulation both Dundee and Trump are the assholes, and Trumpās retrograde enough to think that the Dundee-style justification would be a winner.

I think the GOP will just keep getting even more insane. They still have massive structural advantages, most notably the highly undemocratic Senate. Most of their House seats are so gerrymandered they are impossible to flip. The only threat to a GOP politician is losing a primary from the right, and thatās not going to change.

Thank you.
The more I look back, I realise how soaked in transphobia we all are. As a kid crocodile Dundee was one of my favourite movies (mainly because it was filmed where I grew up). I thought that whole scene was hilarious, and definitely used it in teasing my friends.
Weāve come a long way in the last few years for sure

Doesnāt that scene actually make fun of Dundee for being backwoods as opposed to the trans person? Iāll admit itās been a few decades since Iāve seen it.
No. The other āregular folksā in the scene are laughing along with Dundee, not at him.
Red Sox hitting some home runs.

The winds have shifted. Even people who obviously donāt care have decided its good business to get on board. Never thought Iād see this in my lifetime.

Arsenal had covers over the corner sections of their stands with no fans saying BLM, not sure if Liverpool did but they have the same owners as the Red sox

I tried real hard to make Ace Ventura work. Thereās an argument to be made that theyāre disgusted at the deception, not at her being trans. But boy is that a stretch. The filmmakers were expressing transphobia, and regardless of their intentions, that big reveal and everyone clawing at their tongues has come to symbolize transphobia.

And yet Donnie is still raging with racism and declaring BLM to be full of terrorists. I hate him but keep on keeping on with the racism, Donnie. A blowout in November would put me on cloud nine.

Iāve said this a number of times. But watch Disclosure on Netflix. They have trans people discussing that ace ventura scene. Itās brutal.
I recently did! It is what cemented my stance on the movie.
