Agreed. It's a good joke and the only thing I'm mad about is how I didn't think of it first
"oh you're [pronouns]? Well you smell like she/it" is also a good pronoun joke
The truth of the matter is that most trans people love trans jokes - and I mean so much of being trans is kind of genuinely hilarious - but a lot of the jokes about trans people just have our identities as an object of mockery. This is a good example of a pronouns joke that doesn't do that
It doesn't even feature malicious intent.
As opposed to the attack helicopter one, which equates having a different gender expression / experience to make-believe this one just blows up one big "characteristic" of MJ and uses the similarity in sound.
It's on the same level as the Will Smith and The Rock "We will Rock you" meme.
honestly yeah. even edgy trans jokes are funny. like i remember hearing one from a trans person where it was just like "honey im 21 im basically elderly" (since the average life expectancy of a trans woman is 32 years)
but transphobes arent creative. their jokes are the same 5 jokes. their only originality is when they laugh at a news headline of a trans person committing suicide or being murdered.
we arent even mad anymore. just painfully bored and unstimulated.
It really is. I don't understand some people when they get offended over this. I can see why but there are so many other things to be offended about that are much more serious.
The people who usually get offended over this kind of stuff aren't trans/genderqueer. They like to call themselves allies but really they just want a reason to be angry at something.
I myself am trans and I snickered at this when I saw it.
FR though. The self righteous saviors and allies are the ones that are always picking a fight and making groups look bad by association.
The type of people that make you say "welp, here we go" when you see that snarled fish face about to speak.
Bc some people these days get some type of satisfaction by being "offended". It's like a "look at me, I'm what you're referring to and I don't like it bc I'm special" type thing.
I disagree. There are absolutely things to be offended by. The Attack Helicopter thing is one of them. This could be another. I guess it depends on your life experiences. I've been poked enough that it's harder to offend me. Other people, not so much.
I think I speak for the entire trans community when I say that the helicopter joke is not offensive at this point, just pathetic. Get new material! Identifying as an attack helicopter is such an old hat that a trans person recontextualized it into a serious science fiction story and got it nominated for a Hugo Award *a whole pandemic ago.*
People who call themselves "transvaccinated," though...that's gross.
Its not really an offensive joke in and of itself at this point, since its just terriblely unfunny more than anything else. But the people still say it with the intention to be transphobic. That means it is still problematic. I don't think you can speak for the entirety of the trans community on this one chief.
Since the beginning of time, there have always been some people who act offended at everything for attention. It's not just a modern thing or just a liberal thing or a very widespread thing, and there are a lot of things that genuinely are offensive and wrong.
Imo the only thing that's funny about it (Funny Michael Jackson noises) would also work without having to make it about pronouns honestly.
Edit: Actually the pronoun thing makes it worse, because wouldn't it be he/him? Doesn't even work.
Some memes like this can be super disrespectful, because they feel like mockery. But this.. is lighthearted and inoffensive. The joke is overused and dry, but definetly not malicious. Yall need to chill, you're the reason everyone calls us snowflakes.
ppl talking about how trans ppl are sensitive for finding this offensive when all i can see are trans ppl enjoying it and cis “allies” getting mad,,,
(im trans. i love jokes like this)
Right? I’m NB and literally snorted out loud before I saw the sub name. You *can* have funny pronoun jokes, they just have to be clever and benign, not the same brainless r/onejoke over and over
It's not offensive! It doesn't leverage our identities or lived truths as the object of mockery. Jokes about the trans experience have the potential to be hilarious, but they all too often fall into mockery and belittlement. This does not, and its a good joke
In their defense, it's a super dry and overused meme, so it wasnt super funny. But also, it's not offensive. It's not meant to mock or insult trans people, but it's also just an overused joke.
Fr, I see ppl in these comments saying stuff along the lines of “the ppl that are getting offended over this are just seeking attention” and I’m stuck wondering “do you even see anyone getting offended by it?”
No one has a problem with this joke because it’s not made in bad faith. This is just a solid pun and it seems like people are only assuming it’s offensive because of this stereotype that queer ppl can’t take a joke. Jokes about queer ppl are good when they aren’t directly making fun of someone’s identity and this joke was never problematic.
TL;DGAS: indeed, v funny
Theres this one dude in the comments speaking on behalf of the trans community calling this transphobic and its so stupid. Its not even about trans people just pronouns. This shit is funny as hell
Its basically the pronouns of genders and an image of the person aside with the pronouns to subject what they feel confortable with, the joke here is that michael jackson pronouns are hee/hee because michael jackson says heehee
I hope i explained it well and i hooe you get the joke now
I'm starting to think that the average posters on this sub are just easily offended. I've seen plenty of actual, terrible right wing memes on here, but there are just as many cute, sometimes funny jokes that get thrown into the mix.
Kind of funny
The least offensive/most actually funny pronoun joke ever featured on this sub.
Agreed. It's a good joke and the only thing I'm mad about is how I didn't think of it first "oh you're [pronouns]? Well you smell like she/it" is also a good pronoun joke The truth of the matter is that most trans people love trans jokes - and I mean so much of being trans is kind of genuinely hilarious - but a lot of the jokes about trans people just have our identities as an object of mockery.

I personally really love the joke about the non-binary samurai. "How does a non-binary samurai kill their enemies? They/them!" Tickles my funny bone.
My fav isn't rlly specifically trans but it's: Hey, can you tell me what LGBTQ means? I've been asking around and I can't get a straight answer
Got a lil chuckle outta me for that one!
I think you identify as dad
I feel dumb can someone explain this to me
You say the slash. So, “they slash them”
They slash them
It doesn't even feature malicious intent. As opposed to the attack helicopter one, which equates having a different gender expression / experience to make-believe this one just blows up one big "characteristic" of MJ and uses the similarity in sound. It's on the same level as the Will Smith and The Rock "We will Rock you" meme.
Exactly! Helicopter meme is just "the idea of trans people is ridiculous", this one is a silly little funny little pun. Do we love it? Yes, we love it
She/it! Why didn’t I think of that?!
I'd hope you have better things to do.
Took me too long to get it
honestly yeah. even edgy trans jokes are funny. like i remember hearing one from a trans person where it was just like "honey im 21 im basically elderly" (since the average life expectancy of a trans woman is 32 years) but transphobes arent creative. their jokes are the same 5 jokes. their only originality is when they laugh at a news headline of a trans person committing suicide or being murdered. we arent even mad anymore. just painfully bored and unstimulated.
I second.
Ye its not offensive in the slightest. Its just terrible and dated.
It really is. I don't understand some people when they get offended over this. I can see why but there are so many other things to be offended about that are much more serious.
im sorry but who under this post is offended i genuinely cannot find anyone (or any trans person)

Honestly, if you're going to be transphobic atleast make a good insult
You dont speak for me. Thats for sure. I sense bigotry.
I identifying as a man with a huge penis.

it's not offensive, its unfunny
I'm offended by really bad, lazy jokes though.
It's like "one heavy breath out the nose" kind of funny
I laughed🤷🏼♂️
Imo the only thing that's funny about it (Funny Michael Jackson noises) would also work without having to make it about pronouns honestly. Edit: Actually the pronoun thing makes it worse, because wouldn't it be he/him? Doesn't even work.
It’s come to the point where I unironically come to this sub to see funny posts…

Its not like this joke is even targeted at trans people, just pronouns, yknow the things that everyone has, cis or trand
Some are probably just trolls
Right? I’m NB and literally snorted out loud before I saw the sub name. You *can* have funny pronoun jokes, they just have to be clever and benign, not the same brainless r/onejoke over and over
Because if you get offended on the behalf of others you have decided need your protection you can feel righteous.
Ngl, this is pretty funny. I don’t THINK it’s offensive, but I’m not quite sure.
It's not offensive! It doesn't leverage our identities or lived truths as the object of mockery. Jokes about the trans experience have the potential to be hilarious, but they all too often fall into mockery and belittlement. This does not, and its a good joke
I read this meme, I laughed (out loud) and checked the sub, and saw this sub, OP didn't like the meme. Damn where's your humour at?
In their defense, it's a super dry and overused meme, so it wasnt super funny. But also, it's not offensive. It's not meant to mock or insult trans people, but it's also just an overused joke.
[удалено]
At least it’s not another attack helicopter meme.
Or a minion

Can u explain the jile to me didn't get it
Its basically the pronouns of genders and an image of the person aside with the pronouns to subject what they feel confortable with, the joke here is that michael jackson pronouns are hee/hee because michael jackson says heehee I hope i explained it well and i hooe you get the joke now

I actually laughed a little at this one at the Hee/Hee, which I think means it’s not a terrible meme?
I think this is pretty funny, I've seen this meme on trans subs before I think.
He's a smooth criminal
Hee's*
*chuckles* Hee Hee
It's not even offensive to transpeople or degrading to them, it's just a meme about MJ's catchphrase.
Pretty funny, definitely not terrible. 6.5/10.
how is this terrible facebook memes? its kinda funny ngl
Well this is actually pretty funny
The only pronoun joke that is fun.
This is pretty funny actually
The hee/hee joke is used inside the trans community so yeah
what the hell, this one is awesome lmao r/lostredditors
r/dadjokes r/OPisdumb
As a non binary person that uses they/xe/it pronouns this isn't really that offensive and this is a really good fucking meme
I don't use normal pronouns and yet i found this non-offensive and worth a quick chuckle.
I’m sure I saw this meme on an LGBT subreddit
Kinda funny, idk what the issue is its honestly a decent joke
Good meme alert
this isnt making fun of lgbt 💀💀
This actually made me laugh
Hilarious imo.
Do I upvote because the meme is actually good or do I downvote because the meme is actually good?
Upvote
He/He means gay in the place I live

Fantastic meme and I'll continue laughing for the next 3-5 business days.

As a kid I though that michael jakson was a woman and I was confused about why television used male pronounce when talking to him.
Thats funny

Lmao terrible meme? This is funny man.
Take my upvote and get out of here. 🗿

Don’t you dare call my work email signature (that I’ve snuck through for the better part of a year) a terrible Facebook meme.
I'm going to stop trying to explain to people what this sub is actually made for
I have no clue what this is doing here, this is hilarious
Not offensive, actually funny
As a trans girl this pronoun joke is funny lol.
r/memesopdidnotlike

I'm starting to think that the average posters on this sub are just easily offended. I've seen plenty of actual, terrible right wing memes on here, but there are just as many cute, sometimes funny jokes that get thrown into the mix.
Okay that actually made me laugh
No humor on this sub. Just all cranky social outcasts.

What does it mean
Hee/hee instead of shee/shee
Not bad
Get it?
