    There is no context for this, how so? I’m not running cover for anyone, are you saying by talking about southpark? Whom decided that watching/talking about/discussing south park was “running cover for vile transphobes?”

    Sounds like obscuring the issue with emotional arguments and slander to cancel the argument without addressing the point. It works with bigotry because everyone feels like they have to go on the defensive even without merit, or context. So what evidence backs up your bigotry accusation, and if without merit would it not be you running cover/helping transphobes by making bad faith accusations for other reasons and therefore discrediting the movement that makes real and credible accusations?

        So everyone commenting on southpark is “running cover for transphobes,” because you condemned that episode, got it.

        Or just the ones that disagree with you in effect I presume.

          yeah, south park creators are vile transphobes, as that episode clearly demonstrates and therefore everyone running cover for their show is running cover for vile transphobes.

          However it so clearly is not just that episode. Which is what I meant by “these (plural) are the kinds of jokes”. The visual style chosen for mrs. garrison is the plainest “man-in-a-dress” transmisogynist trope and it was on for seasons.

          the “mr. slave” homophobia??? “Lol gay people loving shoving stuff up their ass” Like come on. It’s all edgy 4chan humor.

          How about you come up with some witty well-deserved jokes they made up about the “politically correct” crowd?

          Edit: “so you think <extreme bad faith simplification of what you said>. Got it” is such a childish response, like, yeah you got me I clearly am sooo stupid, thank god for mr anticancel culture warrior here (yes I am “assuming your gender”, guess how…) being so above it all and ready to set them essjaydubbleyous straight

          A well meaning tip: it comes off as you lacking reading comprehension and not as you being above it.

            Isn’t that convenient, well case closed. Thanks for letting us know! Here we were all unaware of the conviction for bigotry you returned in secret and have used to condemn everyone that disagrees with you on this subject.

              what

              who did I condemn other than the vile transphobes Trey Parker and Matt Stone?

              I thought I was being pretty polite considering your weirdly defensive snarkiness

              Also please provide some examples of the jokes you meant, because when talking about south parks anti"political correctness" jokes these are the ones that come to mind

                I have no idea what you are talking about you tell me I haven’t seen the indictment, or the trial. I just have your word as to the verdict.

                    What verdict indeed. You made the accusatioin that everyone that disagrees with you is running cover for them, without knowing more about this conviction for bigotry it wouldn’t be safe to discuss it with you would it?
