Ask them to explain the “joke” then once they finish say I didn’t find the joke funny.
I do this, but then I pick it apart to make it really painful.
"Oh, jokes just normally have a punchline and aren't just stating something really backwards"
As soon as you van stop using weird vocabulary as "cis man", i would start thinking about saying any of that.
Yes, there is a lotmof right wing bullshit going on but this entire Snowflake "Im special so we need to change language" is in large part what has pushed so many people to trump yo begin with.
To out it simple: you're part of the problem. Fix yourself too
Ah, I didn't appeal to the right wing voter base, what a shame.
You think I'm right wing because I don't like political correctness?
I see we're in the "Trump was elected because of political correctness" phase. I remember this from 2015.
That actually was a big reason for loads of people, yeah. Instead of focussing on things that the majority of the US population would care about, Clinton went on about the he/his crowd, and lost
Do you have the same problem with all adjectives that describe a majority? Heterosexual, right-handed, etc.?
I don't think I've ever called or referred anyone like that in real life, no.
"You have to talk to that right handed person there"
"You, heterosexual, are next"
You know why I've never done that? Because I don't care about somebrandom persons sexuality, or handedness, or how he identifies his gender.
You know why I don't? Because nobody does. This is the real world and I don't want to have to deal with your issues when all I need you to do is hand me that bottle of something I want to buy.
If I were to get to know you a little more intimate, you know, becoming close friends, something romantic, then sure, tell me all about your quirks, we all have em.
On a side note: cis has been used for a long time as a prejorative as well, so using it is also akin to calling a gay person a faggot. We don't do that either, because it's a shit thing to say.
As someone "on the right" this is actually good advice for the future. The left's obsession with victimhood and the orwellian nomenclature for "identity" is tiresome to the average person.
"Cishet", for example, is basically a pejorative for "normal person".
Do you hear yourself right now?
Yes
I also heard way too many people saying they'd voted trump because they were fed up with all the political correct nonsense.
I care more about trans people being treated equally than about people desperately trying to virtue signalling with their pronouns
Yes everyone would be cool with trans people and not bigots if only they didn't use silly little acronyms
I'm absolutely cool with trans people (basically don't give a shit about your age, color, gender, who you love, rich or poor, I just care that you're nice), I'm annoyed by the acronyms and PC trends, for sure.
What a weird thing to say.
Why?
You don't need to be cisgender, heterosexual, male or white to call people out on their bigoted beliefs.
Edit: if you are in those categories you're more likely to be taken more seriously by other cishet white men. I think I understand the point of the original post now.
Definitely. It's just an amplifier. Imagine a protestor saying "too many cops are violent and need to cool it", as opposed to a cop saying "too many cops are violent and need to cool it"
Exactly. Also some of us have learned to fear pushing back against cishet men who are being aggressive. As a trans lesbian I’m not going to improve the situation with confrontation, I’ll just get shouted at, called a snowflake, or otherwise dismissed. But when say, my girlfriend’s husband, a very large extremely masculine cishet guy challenges it, it may not always go well, but it’s perceived as peer disapproval as opposed to “triggering the enemy”.
Oh, I got it. Thanks
So Mexican dudes can't say these things, eh? Only white dudes, and only if they're straight?
You need to add 'ese' to the end of it.
And only to men, because of course there aren't any women who hate on trans people!
Middle-aged white men have a lot of privilege. It's time we used it for good.
Is this white-saviour and/or patriarchial? Yup. Does it work? Also yup.
I don't know if we all realize this, but some shitlord being told "What the fuck is wrong you?!" cuts deeper when it comes from someone who looks like their dad, granddad, or their boss.
I'm a 47-year old white guy in a leadership position in a large company. I've done exactly this to both young-millenial edgelord types who think I'm in on the joke, and boomer or elder-Xers who are yelling at clouds. I will tell you that, not only does it smack down the dipshit who thought that "lol rape" or "brown people bad" was funny, it also sets the tone for everyone else in the room, and it gets word around that bigotry isn't acceptable.
Anyone can say this, but it hits harder when it's someone privileged. Women, LGBTQ folk and other vulnerable groups don't have this privilege, and get shut down, and if we don't want that to be the case, we need to speak up for them.
