before invoking Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, all trans bloggers are now required to research and write a minimum of 5,000 words on the origin, impacts, and continued use of this meme:
#JD.txt#AV:PD is bad we know it's bad we know the lasting cultural impacts of it are bad#consider maybe the ongoing propagation of a ''joke'' mocking the brutal real life rape and murder of a trans person might also be bad#consider that people grew up with this too#consider that this was the first time some people learned of trans people existing; reduced to a ''crossdresser'' who deserved to die#consider that your experience isn't universal#consider how it feels for trans people who watched this in realtime to see it still being casually joked about thirty years later#I'm tired y'all#it's so fucking grotesque and it's been stripped of all context and the absolute horror of it erased#deliberately might I add#the screenshot and the caption are from different clips#in the original clip you can see the news report he's talking about clearly displayed on a screen to his right when he says it#the line was intentionally placed over a neutral screenshot from a different angle to literally remove the victims from the picture#so idk don't feel guilty about using it if you didn't know; feel angry that you were maliciously deceived#spare a little indignation for the wilful erasure of your siblings and ask yourself honestly if you've perpetuated/contributed to it#unpack the cultural impacts of ''joking'' that the existence of trans men is as morally indefensible as rape and murder
