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.
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.
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.
