Ethan from h3h3 made a dumb joke that was, probably unintentionally, punching down at Trans people. A Trans women called him Transphobic & he reacted by being a dismissive child.

It wasnt even about trans people though. All he said was he was gonna cut his dick off because it touched a public toilet. The reaction to his joke IS ridiculous.

No one is saying that he targeted Trans people
The point is that it's still propping up stigma about why people transition & is belittling it.
I don't think anyone is saying that he did it on purpose. He just didn't think about how it was punching down at some people3 replies 0 retweets 20 likes -
How is that belittling peoples reason for transitioning? Its clearly a joke. We all know it isn’t serious.

Thats not what Im saying. Im saying the response is overreacting. People are calling him transphobic and going on a crusade over one joke.

Okay, so here's the problem. Words like Transphobic, Racist, Sexist etc are broad terms. e.g. saying something that's insensitive to someone can be racist & beating someone to death because they are black is also racist.

The problem is that most people ONLY think of the latter extream & ignore the more subtle meaning of the former. No one is saying that he's so Transphobic that he hates Trans people. He is just insensitive, which can also be Transphobic.
