Gotta move those goalposts, surely this is better than admitting you're wrong!

I can't tell if you're being disingenuous or if you're actually this dumb, but either way, this trans person thinks you should shut the hell up.

The joke is that the BDSM collar in the colors of the trans flag is called a "friendship collar", as if the characteristics of the object didn't have more significant implications

Nah son, dude wasn't treating transpeople as a joke, he was making a tepid observation/joke about how the color of the collar sorta resembles the trans-flag and you jump in to make GOD drat SURE that the guy who wasn't mocking transpeople was not, in fact, mocking transpeople.

EDIT: I don't know what you identify as, so I apologize if I made an incorrect assumption about your gender. But nah, that dude wasn't mocking transfolk.

On the bright side it gave me the chance to look up Transformer toys and they got some loving cool ones. There's one that looks like a shark and when it transforms into a robot it doesn't even have random bits hanging off of it. Toys are really cool these days, and it makes me wish I was young enough to be able to buy them.

If you were young you wouldn't have the money to buy them.

I am also a trans person, brain genius. And I'm tired of our mere existence being a punch line. I'm still waiting for any other explanation for that "joke"

The collar is in the colors of the trans flag. Collars are a common symbol of BDSM relationships; specifically, subs wear collars. Anyone who knows a) the colors of the trans flag and b) that subs wear collars is going to take the wrong message away from that "friendship collar", and it is funny that the manufacturer did not think about this before marketing the collar. The joke is not at the expense of trans people. The joke is at the expense of straight people who don't realize the symbolism inherent in the object.

Jesus loving christ, you're the reason people make lovely "DID YOU JUST ASSUME MY GENDER?" jokes. Go do your concern trolling somewhere else.

You think I'm arguing for fun and trying to be disingenuous. I'm not. I was genuinely bothered by the post. You should think about why you perceive other people's emotions to be feigned or insincere.

What is with the internet and accusing people of trolling when they point out something is upsetting or offensive?

what if the collar was blue, green, and yellow.

Would you have been offended if he had said those collars must have been made for Brazillian subs?


People are not suggesting that you are insincere in being upset (I think). They are suggesting you are being over-sensitive, and picking fights over a statement that was not inherently offensive.

I guess now he knows not to make any references to trans people in any context ever, I guess

Don't really see much offensive about that joke but tbh I can see why someone would be sensitive to jokes made at their expense. A bunch of threads in the last few months have been dragged down by lovely transphobic jokes. And look at the various people coming out of the woodwork to snipe at jit for being "a bad trans person" or being "the problem with trans people", as opposed to like, being overly sensitive or whatever the actual issue is.

But whatever, move past it and heal. Post funny picture.

Pretty jerking awake like that is more likely to make you fall out of a tree. I think it's just your brain being dumb and thinking that you're dying, not just falling asleep.

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.
I didn't know it had the trans flag colors, I just thought a BDSM toy being sold as "Friendship Collar" was funny. My bad.

My friend, the joke that you are offended by was a joke about what the colors on a collar represented. It wasn't an attack on trans rights. You are picking a fight with allies because you are thin skinned.
