    Context matters here. I think the joke is that this gender-swapped picture would really piss off Elon Musk in particular because he’s so openly and proudly transphobic.

      That’s like saying it’s okay to call someone a fag if they are a homophobe.

        It absolutely is not morally sound, but it clearly feels right to many. We regularly justify these attacks because such people seem to deserve any and all suffering for their values and misdeeds.

      Yeah i don’t think i would really like this sort of joke normally. But given he’d rather say his son died to the woke virus than admit he has a trans daughter… fuck elon.
