Am I missing something or is "upload your gender, max 10MB" not just the same joke right from the start, i.e. kids these days and their genders

I've encountered similar things in real life and it's almost always just a genuine case of someone loving up their option select coding and that option is meant to go somewhere else so I wouldn't be shocked if that was just genuinely someone posting a funny fuckup at first that got memed.

That's not a joke. That's some poor code slave who hosed up and reused the code from the "Upload a photo" page on the "What's your gender" page.

Then again, why not? Why does gender have to be restricted to a drop down field or text entry? If your chosen gender can only be represented in a jpg, that seems ... fine?

It's not quite the same joke -- the point being made by the attack helicopter joke isn't so much "kids these days and their genders" as the more odious "it doesn't matter what gender you identify as if it's not what you really are".

There are a bunch of queer spaces which have embraced memes like "upload your gender, max 10MB" or "I identify as a problem" to make a point along the line of "actually yeah, gender is complicated and can't be summed up in a simple yes/no field, and I am going to take pride in its complexity and refuse to make it fit into any of the boxes that society demands of me".

Can't direct ads to someone based on a jpg (with the resources this company has). Any time a company wants to know what's in your pants the reason is always advertising.

I bought a charcoal face mask like this from a Black dude. He specifically told me "don't take photos/videos of you wearing this for social media" and, y'know, that's solid advice.

The word "queer" itself has basically undergone the same process.

The other thing about the attack helicopter joke is that if it were non-binary people making it, it would be fine. The first time I heard it I thought it was funny because I didn't realize it was being used spitefully. Like, your gender is powerful, dangerous, loud, and can fly? Right on.
