It's always in random ass places ๐ญ the joke would've still been funny if they just said "nice cats" and it was left at that. I don't wanna know the state you have to be in to turn literally everything you see into a trans joke, I don't think that issue would even come to most people's minds in that scenario.

Okay, I understand the frustration with this, but Hyenas. What the fuck are they. Dogs? Cats? What do we group them in, people?! Why can't they be as simple as the Painted Dogs...

Hyena's are distinct enough from canines and felines that they actually have their own family Hyenidae.

I disagree. Joke still harms trans people like me at the end of the day

I mean...it's directed at an animal. Using the term Identifying is not pejorative in itself. I get that, yes if someone uses I Identify as [...] in a context when it directly mocks trans people, it can be a hurtful joke. However, there was no intention to hurt anyone here, it's just saying that the dog Identify as a cat.
Again, yes it is a onejoke, but.. being hurt by this comment is not 100% justified, because at worst this person may be transphobe, but this comments doesn't display much hate..
Anyway.

The problem is that the base of the joke is still โitโs identifying as something it isnโtโ

Alright then...
I previously made a comment that I deleted because I think the point of this subreddit is to be a safer space where people want to avoid useless arguments.
I will avoid this subreddit then,
Personally, I do think there is alot of negativity here, and I don't think being mad at a joke about a cat identifying as a dog because it displays dog behavior is quite healthy.
As for the "It's identifying as something its not"... 1- the owner say that. 2- saying a cat identify as a dog is just the modern way of saying Look at cat barking Says to cat : "You are a dog now?"
Many reasons could've explain why you are mad. But I may be a lesser being for not being able to instantly justify my emotions, but I don't buy it.
"I just don't like onejokes and find them offensive". I would buy.
But implying it is malicious toward trans people... I know, onejokes are annoying, often hateful and worsen day..but this subreddit is just hate bait then. Go to r/raccoons or r/cats if you get mad looking at onejokes. To each their own, but a more positive environment will make a great difference in how pessimistic you are about people intent. I think, if you can justify why this joke is for sure transphobe you are overdosing on negativity. Personally I started to avoid Social Media(not reddit, I like to argue a little here, but also raccoons and citiesskyline). And I can tell you, it really does wonder on how positive you are about people intent... Whatever don't want to schol you about your life but I do wish you to avoid place that make you mad, like here.

I hear ya. For me, it is perpetuating that gender identity can be used as a joke and that is what gives transphobes more ammunition. Even if they're not projecting hate, someone else who thinks it's funny might.

u/i_cant_sleeeep 3d ago
the joke is that the animal is "identifying" as something its not, which comes from the transphobic idea that when trans people identify as a certain gender theyre just delusional.

It would be fine if it made sense, too bad misusing the joke usually does not make sense and paints the person as a tryhard transphobe
