Of course I don’t think it was written by an actual terf. But very similar things are often said by them, and I think there is a place for using satire like this. Satirical comics have been used in countless other political issues for hundreds of years (just look at the comics similar to this against King George). Why is it any different or any more “arrogant” in our case?

And in a way, yes, “spite the haters” is a big part of it. Because the “haters” are in most cases actively abusing or discriminating against us, and we generally like to bring attention to such social issues. That’s the point of political comics. I’d hardly call pointing out evil people and bringing them up as a joke “arrogant.”
These people exist. I’ve met them, my friends have met them, and I personally have been abused by them. This is not a strawman argument, it’s a snarky comic aimed at real people who have hurt people like me. I don’t see why attacking those people is “arrogant and attention seeking.” Were not pretending to be victims, we’re attacking people who have hurt us through humor and snarky remarks… a perfectly reasonable response I’d say. I also apologize for assuming you’re one of those people, I was quick to jump to that conclusion when it looked like you were defending such actions…
Are you saying nobody actually does such things to us? It’s all a strawman, nobody actually asks what’s “in our pants”? Because I have most certainly encountered such people personally, and many of my friends have been harassed by them.
I’m just in a particularly chaotic mood, given your original tone on this matter… I can ensure you I’m perfectly capable of holding a normal, intellectual debate (although this isn’t the most convenient platform to do so). And yeah when people defend those who say my identity isn’t valid, the same people who’ve harassed me and abused me physically and mentally during my childhood, I’m likely to get a bit confrontational at times.
Do you believe the person in the comic is justified in asking about the other individual’s genitalia? The comic is aimed at such people. If you think that’s weird and wrong, you’re not the target of this comic. But I don’t think it’s arrogant at all to be mean to such people who think we should be discriminated against based on our genitalia.
The issue in the comic is this: a nonbinary person exists. Random bystander: “are you a man or woman?” NB: I’m neither. Bystander then proceeds to ask what genitalia they have, not taking “nonbinary” as a valid answer. Yes the enby in the comic was snarky about it. I wouldn’t do that if someone was genuinely asking, but the comic suggests the bystander was being judgemental or otherwise a jerk about it. In which case yeah, I’m gonna be mean right back.
Thank you for the complement. I do believe I’m justified in telling people who believe I ought not to exist that they are, in fact, evil. If that’s a problem for you, so be it. You’re entitled to your opinion, doesn’t mean you have the right to face no criticism or judgement for your views. Just as you have the right to say such things to me.
Actually this might be worth my time after all… I’m bored. So do tell me, why is it “haughty,” “arrogant,” etc. to exist as a nonbinary person…? Do you actually believe you have the right to ask me what genitalia I was born with and judge me accordingly?
Go. The fuck. Away. No I’m not giving you a reason, arguing with people like you isn’t worth my time. Get lost, fucking nazi scum. You aren’t welcome here.
Meeeee! That’s me they’re talking about! I’ll take one crypt now for my cute vampire-girl self to lurk in, please!
But there shouldn’t be an apostrophe there… it’s = it is, its = posessive.
Correct! Thank you for catching that, I accidentally put it in third declension. So yes Wuges. I was referencing when second declension nouns borrowed into English sometimes remain -i for the plural (as in radii, stimuli etc.) So Wugus, Wugi.
Oh yeah and sometimes it’s actually Greek causing irregulars (looking at you, criteria)…
Wugs, if its an Anglo root, unless it’s derived from Latin “Wug*, wugīs” in which case there are two Wugi (wûg-eye). Unless its one of the random Latin words where we don’t do that and it’s still “wugs.” Unless it’s a loanword from germanic then we might anglicise it or we might say “wugar.” Because eNgLIsH iS EaSY…
F/a-18 taking off from a carrier, here’s the original image…
It’s possibly an f/a-18, the tail looks like a V and the engines are closer together like in the picture.
I think it might be an f/a-18 actually, vertical stabilisers are more slanted in a V and the engines are closer together than on an f-14
EDIT: found the original image
We’re looking at a rear view of a fighter with a V tail…
Washing my hands, I use a $1 bottle of dollar store soap, feels pretty luxurious (I’m a broke university student and my codormatory had no soap before I bought it don’t judge).
