why is it funny for u to have a penis...... on ur fukken head bitch lol

I don't think this was handled right. I don't see it as situational humor because it's just depressing if you view it from the angle of a transgender woman looking at the video. Whatever his intention, people were laughing "oh, ha she has a penis" part.

Its called shock humor you autistic person.

Things that are unexpected can be funny.

The punchline is her having a penis; that is the problem, yes.

Yes. A lot of people in the "trans community" dont have a very thick skin. Everything is a personal assault on their gender expression and identity. Any joke is the most abhorrent thing on the planet, and run for the hills if it has anything to do with transgender topics.

Wanna get treated like everyone else? Maybe you shouldnt constantly try to put yourself on a pedestal.

The problem I have with that reasoning is that it also justifies things like Amos n' Andy. Lots of black people liked Amos n' Andy because it was the only TV/radio show with black characters at that time, but the NAACP came out against it for perpetuating negative stereotypes. These days, most people (including me) agree with the NAACP's view. Is our view valid, or do we just need a thicker skin?

Shades of grey, not black and white. Views and public opinion is always changing. Hopefully in a few years trans people wont be looked down upon or treated as poorly as they are today. However, the "trans communities" non-stop, unflinching, horrible outlook on everything is not helping whatsoever.

These people need to bend like a branch before they snap like a tree. Not everything is a hague/geneva level warcrime; jokes arnt all "a step back in progress".

Doug Stanhope, Jim Jefferies, and a bunch of other comedians are doing just fine by regressing their language and topic. Louis CK openly makes jokes with the N-word. If you wanna make racial jokes go right ahead, just make sure theyre funny. Same goes with trans or any other minority group.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

The funny part is that he gets his hopes up, thinks she is the best girl he has ever met and is then stumped on the part where she has a dick but he still keeps liking her. Always very explicitly "her" by the way.

Oh, what do I even answering this, this is so obviously a troll.

The key difference between hate and *trait*-ist humor in the general, I think, lies in the intent and situation. Street-singing racially-charged songs is not okay, even if you aren't actually doing so with racist intent, but stand-up comedians, if they aren't actually racists, could tell a joke using stereotype and such and it's totes fine.

This of course all dissolves when you go by person-to-person opinions on a given thing, so this is all fruitless really.

This is also my effort post for the year, my apologies to any GBSers who might be aghast.
