My thing with blahaj is that while its cool that trans people identify with it, the fact that theyre trying to make it universally only be a trans symbol is a bit problematic.
My family has a few and none of us are trans as far as we know. Theyre comfy and cuddly as fuck, and I feel like its something that should be for “everybody” and not just one particular community. Like a bring-us-all-together kind of thing.
To be clear, I’d have just as much of a problem with it if it were becoming a symbol for some other completely unrelated community too, so it’s not the specific community claiming it I have an issue with (trans people are people, and a lot of y’all are really awesome)
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !are_the_straights_ok@lemmy.blahaj.zone
I do love that community but I don’t see how it belongs here except for the “wife bad” part of the meme. The joke wouldn’t work without that however and it’s not even the focus of the joke.
Look, friend, I know that stuff. I’m saying it’s not what the joke is about. If the joke actually was “wife bad” I’d be there with you. This joke, however, is about how the same sentence can have a different meaning depending on how it is presented. The actual scenario isn’t really related to the joke itself.
Like I said I do agree that the words have meaning. I disagree however that the community is relevant to the joke. Because it may just as well have been the “manslaughter” vs “manslaughter” meme. I see your point. But we can disagree on the relevance for this specific meme. I was not trying to be disrespectful neither trying to dismiss you but I understand if you saw it as such and apologise for my clumsy wording.

What do you have against blahaj?
I was talking about “Are the straights okay” specifically. Blahaj is chill

You sound a bit like those Christians complaining about how the gays stole the rainbow from God.
The answer is no. No, we are not.
