I know the "attack helicopter" bit is a transphobic trope, but given how hard those fans are probably working, I think this computer might actually identify as one.
(If this comment is offensive I can remove it/mod can obviously remove it
not trying to be a dick!)
As a trans person all I can say is:
lmao
(I love making jokes out of transphobia)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like it can also be a good way to potentially start reclaiming the discourse
No worries. I'm far from offended since I have no idea what "attack helicopter" means in a transphobic sense XD
In short, transphobes see being trans as so laughably stupid that they "identify as an attack helicopter"
Anyway, I like to find ways to include the flags of communities I'm part of within the thread count I have (used to be 8, now it's 16) and it's a fun challenge
Neat! The flag/core count part, not the transphobia part. Transphobia will never be cool.
