- asm0dey 2y agoNever saw it, that's a shame if it's there
- Freak_NL 2y agoThis one? https://floor796.com/#t0r0,697,577 https://floor796.com/#t0r0,697,577 Given that this meme, while distasteful, was quite popular, the reason it was included may just that: its popularity. There is more edgy content on the station (like the 'bear' wanted poster in the police station); some of that might be explained by the author's cultural sphere (Belarus), but I doubt it was intended as explicit anti-trans messaging (at least, I wouldn't draw that conclusion without any other context beyond its inclusion).
- xippy 2y agoThat gave me a chuckle when I saw it, it's such an iconic meme. The original video never stops being amusing, I mean really the whole scenario is so ridiculous.
- fargle 2y agothe linked viral video isn't transphobic. i don't find the "people behaving badly" video genre a classy form of entertainment, but that's all it is. i suspect the meme status of it is especially relevant due to the global social context of this art - it may be a statement along the lines of "the best reality show is americans".
- fwip 2y agoThe most viral "people behaving badly" videos tend to be people that are already disliked by a large portion of society. Fat people, black people, and women. People like them, in part, because they confirm their biases and bigotry.
