Is it? I mean it clearly references it, but unless I’m not getting something, that’s a hateful meme slurring transgenderism, and this is a hateful meme slurring religion. If either of them are intended ironically, they’re cutting pretty damn close to the Poe line. I’m not seeing any parody.
To me, that’s funny. I understand that some people can take this seriously and come to think that what the meme is saying is actually happening which may bring more harm than good.
It’s not hateful unless I think it is. What might you mean by that rhetorical gem. Are you trying to argue that there is no such thing as objective hate? That I can just choose not to find hate speech hateful, and that fixes everything?
For some people it’s offensive, for others it’s not. At this point, it is subjective. If everyone thinks it’s offensive, then it is otherwise, it depends on each individual.
I don’t think it’s that controversial.
I’m not arguing anything, I’m talking about that specific meme, not about hate speech in general. I’m not sure what you are trying to say either :/
What I’m saying is that there is a fine line between funny and hateful. For some people this kind of meme is funny, for others, it’s hateful.
It’s a parody of this:

As far as I’m concerned, it’s pretty funny! I understand some people may take this seriously and that’s sad.
I didn’t say anything about whether or not it is funny. Do you have any comment on whether or not it is hateful?
Ok, it’s not hateful unless you think it is.

This is asinine.
Agree to disagree then.
I don’t think this post is against people worshiping their gods, but against the corporate business that many religions have become.
