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 people

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.

Its not the broadness, its that as far as most people can tell, Ethan wouldnt belittle or look down on someone for being trans. Transphobic is overkill.

Then what the fuck would you call it? It's not overkill. He literally just said "get over it" to Trans people. I think that shows that he has some amount of bais that he refuses to acknowledge.

He said get over it to those who came at him. Not to “trans people” as a broad term.

Lol no, he just likes the cool Trans people who don't get triggered all the time.

I mean do you honestly think he makes a value judgement on someone based on if they’re trans? Legitimately. And is there an issue with trans people who thought the joke was funny?

I think he makes a value judgment on people who tell him to be more careful about how he says things.

That’s a fair point, most people are that way. I also think he just doesn’t feel the need to back down from a joke.
