New inclusive version of Guess Who created

Why would trans people be any different than every other nationality, color, race, gender, sex, political affiliation, religion, age, or geographic location? Why do you think trans people to be so fragile and homerless?

OMG, you're right! We should treat traditionally bullied, shamed, demonized, ridiculed and terrorized minorities the same as everyone else and continue to belittle and shame them for who they are. It's just a joke, right?

Are you fucking serious?

Jokes making fun of nationality, religion, age, or geography are also pretty dumb.

I thought we understood this when minstrel shows went out of style, but I guess not.
 
Two problems. I don't know how the game's normally played, so I don't understand the ramification of adding variables. Second, is BabylonBee is really unfunny. They have a remarkable 100% miss rate with their humor. Even SNL gets it right on occasion. In competent hands, there's a ton of ways to poke fun at the left, but they always just come off as either being dicks, or the whole premise mystifying..

Yes, yes I am.
Humor often stings, that's the nature of it. No group of people is untouchable.

Fine, go to the Youth Special Olympics and make fun of them all. See how that works out for ya, buddy.

You really are clueless.

There is a reason there are social rules against kicking people while they're down.

This is a part of the reason I'm no longer republican/libertarian. I just cannot stomach people who take pleasure in terrorizing already marginalized groups to the point of self harm and suicide. WTF is wrong with you?

Video is boring. It probably doesn't help that I don't know how the game operates.

The points made are apprarently that being inclusive involves learning a whole framework that does take time and energy to know all the nuances. And that rejecting such nuances will trigger an "auto-response" by the proponents.
Apparently, a mockery is made of those "convinced" of a moral framework, and the extremely quick and fierce enforcement of said framework(auto-rejection of game due to inability to satisfy said framework). Seems accurate, as Americans enforce precepts in a quasi-religious manner if even if they are not religious or if precept has no religious origin. Conformance is binding to be socially acceptable to the enforcer.

I took a look on Amazon and one reviewer pointed out the game has already been adjusted to include more characteristics and diverse representation. So, I guess this Bee parody is basically an extension of what would the game be like if you incorporated every single nuance into the game and then had to ask questions to guess who is who.
 
The thing that makes Babylonbee great is they're not afraid to make jokes about sensitive topics. Funny thing is it shouldn't even be sensitive and it should be fairly unanimous that they're clowns, basically on same level as flat earthers. Some of the stuff they come up with is completely bonkers, it's basically a cult at this point. Although one could argue that making fun of them is still giving them attention, and that's what they want. It's best to ignore them. I don't know, just ran across that video and thought it was pretty funny.

That's fine but if you are going to make jokes about sensitive things you need to make sure the joke is funny and clever and you need to do it in a sympathetic way. Just being a bully and punching down is only funny to other bullies.

I mean I haven't watched the video because... well... Babylonbee innit! But I can guess it's exactly "Hur dur! There's boys that are girls! Hur Dur", which is not funny, clever or original.
 
It may be a cisdemeanor to say this but if you remember the music and fashion from the mid to late 80s coming out of Europe it seemed to push the feminization of men. It was okay to act different, dress in pastel pants and shirts and have long hair. Girls like it and some boys too. You did not have to come out of the closet but you could stick your toe out and see who notices.

But these days we have to make unnecessary drama over everything including any sort of label. Lets redefine terms!

That's an interesting view on what you consider 'the feminisation of men'!
