    He didn't get surgery because he was trans... Assuming he is trans because of his surgery is transphobic!

    You're the one who has a problem with the joke. You need more skin.
    Also you didn't watched the movie and you made your daughter up in order to make your weak argument seem more valid than it is.

    So one minute you said "he" had surgery next you admit he has his "dinky" so which one is it?

    And what a surprise, you've taken 1+1 and came up with 3 and also consider that transphobic.

    To answer your question, if he didn't have his dinky and did indeed have surgery you would be fair in considering him a trans as that is enough proof, the fact he had it "hidden" away unlike other trans people suggest to me he was trying to mislead people and not just "be trans". Unless you're going to tell me it's completely normal for trans people to hide it away like that?

    No doubt that special brain of yours will quote me and find something to call transphobic.

    Keep using your strawman arguments and deflect the subject into a personal attack. Tell me what kinda of person I am then.

(for the lack of a better term, trans tendencies? ) A character, bigot or not, could point out more feminine type of traits or him not being comfortable being male presenting.
    I could be misremembering, but I'm pretty sure it's pretty definitively stated that Einhorn had, at that point, had a buttload of gender reassignment surgery. They just hadn't had the junk down there removed.

    It would've, but it was a slightly edgy comedy from the 90s. Making sure it was presenting itself in a politically correct manner was probably pretty far down the priority list.

    Context matters a lot when you read stories, history, post, all that stuff. Context. Context. Context.
    If it was just the final scene, sure. But there's also the scene when Ace discovers Finkle/Einhorn's identity and repeatedly exclaims to himself "Einhorn is a MAN!" in his own home. There's no unmasking the villain, he's not proving his point to anyone. He's just loudly proclaiming to himself that, in his world view, Einhorn is a man now because Einhorn was born a man.

    And then the following scene has him reacting in almost the same way as a stereotypical rape victim. Which, I'm only just now realizing, is kind of mega-yikes.

    (To clarify: I don't think any of that is emblematic of any hatred or bigotry from the writers or actors. It's just a very poorly aged relic of its time.)

    Bro, there's more to your body than JUST your dick. You can have surgery in all sorts of places! The chest, the jawline, the shoulders, the hips. There's a lot more gender-affirming procedures than just "remove chungus".

    Dude, do you actually, sincerely believe that trans women don't "tuck"? You are shockingly out of touch.

    How is this mega-yikes ? He's a straight man that was tricked into kissing another man. He has a right to feel disgusted. What happened to "consent matters" ?

    Do you guys think that I will succeed in demanding that all mentions or depictions of car crashes, depression and suicide be reduced or removed will succeed?

    This is highly triggering for me

    "The fact that they present as female, got gender reassigning surgery,"

    You said this, then changed your mind. You talk that much shit you forget what you say. Unless the GRS was his jawline and shoulders? lmao.

    Yeah to evade the police capture Einhorn had a lot of expensive surgery done to present as a woman. Now I will say this: I am a cis white male, if I so will myself to get gender reassignment surgery to evade the police (As ridiculous as it is, I'd rather just go to Mexico. but then again I don't have a revenge complex so I am not Einhorn.) am I now trans?

    It would've, but it was a slightly edgy comedy from the 90s. Making sure it was presenting itself in a politically correct manner was probably pretty far down the priority list.
    Definitely. Society has shifted a lot since the 90s. ultimately for the better I feel, but there are plenty of rough edges to work out.

    If it was just the final scene, sure. But there's also the scene when Ace discovers Finkle/Einhorn's identity and repeatedly exclaims to himself "Einhorn is a MAN!" in his own home. There's no unmasking the villain, he's not proving his point to anyone. He's just loudly proclaiming to himself that, in his world view, Einhorn is a man now because Einhorn was born a man.

    And then the following scene has him reacting in almost the same way as a stereotypical rape victim. Which, I'm only just now realizing, is kind of mega-yikes.
    Ace was also investigating a case. I believe that scene is not transphobic in nature but rather the detective having a breakthrough. Could it have been expressed a little more eloquently? Sure. But as previously mentioned PC wasn't high on the priority list.

    What it boils down to for me, what does it mean to be a trans person?
    (To clarify: I don't think any of that is emblematic of any hatred or bigotry from the writers or actors. It's just a very poorly aged relic of its time.)
    Agree with you right here! I highly doubt Jim Carrey is some deep closeted transphobe. Maybe one day some dirt will leak but for now he is alright. haha.

    Actually, according to WoWhead this change might be because Games Workshop wishes to trademark Greenskins because of the Warhammer 40k universe.

    So first not "mentions or depictions" but OFFENSIVE mentions and depictions. That's why blizzard is removing them. (And no I'm not saying that humour should be banned or outlawed. But I get why blizzard don't want them in thier 12+ game)

    Anyway moving on you get how race/gender etc of a person is different then car accidents and Sucuide (depending on the reason)? (I grant you depression as a mental illness falls in with my examples). One group are awful events that happen and another are the core of people identities?Hence by joking on that set you are inherently joking about people indentities?

    Wow must invent new Fanstay slurs for Orcs then.

    Maybe the humans can just shout "Go back to Outland"?

    Reading these comments kinda gives me hope for the future. Maybe false hope though.
    Its nice to see how many people see right through this virtue signaling bullshit.

    Oh how sweet it is to see this.

    I accused you before of finding a sample group that confirms your own beliefs, and how do you respond to someone? Precisely by suggesting to do that.

    Too bad you don't response to the fact that your stance becomes highly contested when one finds members of the same subgroup that disagree with your assessment. Funny how that works, isn't it?

    Go on, accuse me of gaslighting again, will you.

    Same goes for the Wowhead comment section They just straight up disable commenting if people have slightly opposing opinions.

    "You can say whatever you want as long as you agree with us." - snowflake logic at its best

    Doesn't matter.

    Read my accusation above.

    We're talking about situations that may be triggering to others. My oldest brother died in a car crash. My mother suffered from depression and tried to commit suicide. I could very well embark on a campaign to have these things removed cause they trigger me. Alas, they do not. Would you like to know why? Because infantilizing and fragilizing people is definitely the subpar way to empower people.

    That's what you're suggest people do and endorse. To put a blanket over certain things because of the risk they might offend someone.

    And to reiterate my other point once again. Stop. Please stop. You are not talking on the behalf on anyone else other than yourself. You're banking on the vague notion that you'll find your opinion endorsed by others and that somehow validates your stance.

    Also, what was that we called painting groups of people in broad strokes? What is it that we can possible call treating people in a homogenous way, assuming that they all share the same opinions, beliefs, and traits? I wonder what we call that.
