I don't want to be the white guy commenter who goes in and asks "what's racist about this?" because no such commenter has ever deserved to live, but I'm going through the replies and qts and I wish I knew how to get a decent answer. Not the real answer in this case, which is that criticizing KH is considered racism per se for the KHive, but some kind of actually cogent point I'd have to think about. Maybe it's because this is really rough chuckles if you're not used to The Onion, and this comes off as bernie bros using a national tragedy to further a narrative? I feel like a person who actually thinks this is racist could do better than that, though.

I meant making the joke at the expense of his death. But that is kind of what the Onion does. Like bringing out that mass shooting article every week.

THUNDERDOME LOSER 2020
It Is Journalism’s Sacred Duty To Endanger The Lives Of As Many Trans People As Possible

The Onion Editorial Board posted:

“Quentin” is a 14-year-old assigned female at birth who now identifies as male against the wishes of his parents. His transition was supported by one of his unmarried teachers, who is not a virgin. He stole his parents’ car and drove to the hospital, where a doctor immediately began performing top surgery on him. Afterward, driving home drunk from the hospital, Quentin became suicidally depressed, and he wonders now, homeless and ridden with gonorrhea, if transitioning was a mistake.

We just made Quentin up, and that’s okay. It doesn’t mean stories like his aren’t potentially happening everywhere, constantly. Good journalism is about finding those stories, even when they don’t exist. It’s about asking the tough questions and ignoring the answers you don’t like, then offering misleading evidence in service of preordained editorial conclusions. In our case, endangering trans people is the lodestar that shapes our coverage. Frankly, if our work isn’t putting trans people further at risk of trauma and violence, we consider it a failure.
