No that's what she's always looked like...

Using butch and misgendering as an insult. Hahahaha.

I'll eat my downvotes, Idc. But can we not? This is literally just bigot boomer humor.

I surely do get the reference. That didn't need to be explained and it doesn't really engage with what I was saying.

Even at the time, many butch lesbians made it known that they did not appreciate that particular word being used as an insult. It's a reclaimed term that once was only ever used as an insult but instead now people used as a self descriptor, much like "dyke" or "queer". So when a straight person uses those terms as a insult, it generates a lot of side eye. It's easy enough to call yourself an ally, but it shows your true thoughts when you lean on homophobic tropes. Just as jokey misgendering is not appreciated among the trans community.

I'm not tying to be the fun police but as a queer woman, with many dyke, butch, and trans friends. I just want you to understand that the community as a whole, reads this sort of thing as outdated boomer cringe.

tbh the fun police has had many notable accomplishments in the last decades.

If cops fought against societal injustices, would they still be bastards?

(real cops defo are bastards though)

All the stupid shit the Rs do. All the meme worthy shit.

Is shit.

Flooding the zone.

Meanwhile... the real scary shit has been happening out in the open.

These are distractions. MTG, boebert, litter boxes, all distractions to get you riled up and occupied.

That hair is goes lower than his neck! I thought the RNC hated drag.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

GOP the party of irrelevant grifters

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

The RNC puts these fakes up there to influence the "poorly educated" and it works magnificently. It's the same reason the put up those blatantly blasphemous "religious charlatans. They pay a few dozen actors to whip up the obedient cult mob. Ever notice some faces, apparently have no jobs, show up at dozens of rallies?

This guy was a hero in the 80s, now he's just a washed up clown. Sad.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And in his '80s now he's most likely wearing a wig and a fake mustache to keep up that character look he created

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's been a wig for a while

I want someone to publicly humiliate him, rip off his sunglasses, red hat, wig, & mustache while he's standing up there in public with cameras on him
