A lot of transphobic whataboutism is just straight up trying to make being a bigot sound like a legit position asked in good faith.
Nope, same old horseshit.

Yes the new Armorer subclass in “Eberron: Forge of the Artificer” is basically Iron Man, but I gotta admit it looks like a ton of fun to play. #dnd #eberron

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Audience culture is the worst it's ever been, I swear to god. People forgot how to act. I'm at the theater, trying to enjoy my show, which I've paid GOOD MONEY for, and these two old assholes are in the balcony heckling the life out of the poor bear onstage. Not letting him finish a single joke.

Next time a Republican whines when they get called a fascist, just remind them that Trump says he doesn't mind the label!
Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?
MAMDANI: I've spoken about--
TRUMP: That's okay. You can just say yes. I don't mind.

I know other genre shows have referenced Star Trek, but have we ever seen an occurrence of Star Trek referencing another franchises? Not a pastiche like "Captain Proton", but full out "I'm going to go watch 'Star Wars' in my cabin?", etc.
