something that makes me sad abt the way the internet works now is that sometimes queer ppl will come up with silly and light-hearted jokes abt other queer ppl and point out common patterns that they see, in like a loving way. like how ppl will sometimes tease their friends or siblings, it's intended to be silly and harmless. i don't necessarily always like those kinds of jokes, but i don't think they have any bad intent, esp considering the people making them are often lightly poking fun at themselves if anything. but then inevitably cishet people end up seeing those jokes and are like "haha yeah weird queers are fucking hilarious and stupid" and start parroting them and warping them until it isn't a joke anymore and just loops back around to being regular transphobia/homophobia
