I cannot believe this stupid asshole thought the "uhm, it was clearly a joke, terfs
psychosexual much?" line would fool anyone besides his retard followers.
I know no Kiwis need this exercise, but here's a thought experiment for lurkers: Let's imagine a hypothetical cis straight guy on Twitter. We'll pick a name out of a hat and call him Phil.
Phil is a very vocal anti-feminist, and surrounds himself with other very vocal anti-feminists. One day, Phil makes a post about how in the future, he and the boys are going to be high-fiving as they breed women at something he calls the "the man-hating feminist wet pussy carousel (now with less respectability politics)". Phil takes a lot of shit over this! Lots of feminists point to his tweet and use him as an example of truly awful anti-feminist men, the sort who vocally hate women and enjoy imagining sexual violence being done against them.
Phil tries to play it off as a joke - obviously it was so transparently over the top that any reasonable viewer would immediately realize it was a joke! It was just a vulgar, tongue-in-cheek joke about men having sex with women. It's a little campy, but come on, he knows men and women who met through that tweet when it went viral! He goes to his twitter followers and stress-sighs, "Can you believe it, a joke I made to make people look silly was taken seriously by people brainrotted by misandry!" (his twitter followers, all anti-feminist men themselves, nod and agree and stress-sigh themselves). And besides, he didn't even MENTION rape in the tweet, so actually, all these man-hating feminists are totally projecting when they say his super funny, totally obvious joke was about raping women.
Reader; do you give Phil the benefit of the doubt? Do you smack your forehead and say "oh boy, I guess there's egg on my face!"? Do you start acting like it's totally unfair to bring this up when you're talking about creepy anti-feminist men and the creepy shit they say about women who disagree with them?
No? You don't? Gosh!
