Well because thats the world we live in. Youre not allowed to freedom of speech anymore. If you offend anyone, you will lose your job and be canceled. Even if I hated trans individuals, I would never dare make an article like that or say something along those lines on my social media, Id lose my job.

"It's a joke. Jokes are funny."

"Uh. What's the punchline?"

"That trans women are men playing dress up"

"That's just mocking trans women. They probably don't find their own existence to be a joke."

"AH THEY CAN FUCK OFF. NO ONE IS OFF LIMITS IN COMEDY"

No it isn't true. Satire's not meant to be funny; it's a scathing commentary on something by taking that thing to a logical extreme, and that usually leads to humor, but it doesn't have to.

Offensive humor is funny because it's outrageous, not because there is truth to it. Anyone that laughs at a Helen Keller joke because they think blind and deaf people are hilarious is a piece of shit.

The Babylon Bee is dogshit satire anyway. All you did was link a tired joke about gender transition and imply that the leftie brigade was gonna cancel them into oblivion, which is the extent to which conservative satire operates - make a loud statement with the intent of ruffling as many feathers as possible, and then circlejerk about how triggered the woke lefties are about your clever conservative pwnage and how they're all gonna be gunning against you as the anti-free-speech police.

Both the tweet and this thread are completely toothless, and it plays into the usual conservative persecution complex where they want to pose themselves as freedom fighters despite both hyping their own struggle with a bunch of strawmen when it doesn't get the negative attention they were aiming for - which is often - and validating the status quo because "the majority is becoming the minority so we have to protect the majority".

In short, I think any reasonable person on either side of the political spectrum probably thinks this topic is stupid. The Tea Party really ruined the Republican right with this brainworm shit, and I earnestly believe that had there not been a bunch of stupid rednecks shifting the main platform further right, threads like these and dogshit conservative satire like the Babylon Bee would rightfully not exist.

honestly, with all the stuff about "fake news" and shit for the past few years, i think it's best if all satire news sites shut down.

at least the ones that make themselves look like they could be real-ish
