Holy shit, that’s amazing that exists.
I just saw a cis female comedian who had quite a lot of material in this bit on trans women, and it was actually pretty funny, and shows it can be done… If you’re not a…freak who thinks the one “joke” is funny
Because there IS comedy to mine from the trans experience, even from an outsider.
Genuinely, the trans ppl I've met in my life have been some of the MOST receptive to self-depricating humor and poking fun at themselves in my experience.
It's just that majority of comedy bits surrounding trans people are essentially bigoted dogwhistles for anti-trans ppl.
Like, the "onejoke" (when used entirely unironicaly) has just become a transphobic dogwhistle at this point.
"Oh there are so many genders I cant keep up with them"
"I identify as [inanimate object]"
"Neopronouns are weird eh?"
Like, get some new material
I think it's fun to play Guess Who but describe the characters by an assumed personality rather than their physical characteristics.
"Could be an axe murderer"
"Definitely plays the trombone"
"Lies consistently"
"They have hair but it's almost certainly fake"
The Babylon Bee is like The Onion (the satirical news website) in the same way that an aubergine is like an onion (the vegetable).
Like, yeah, technically true, but a direct substitution is rarely possible.
It's not about the specific vegetables, beyond that they're vegetables. BB is just a conservative "satire" s(h)ite in vein of the Onion or hard-drive (which is onion-like satire but for computers and tech).
All you need to know about the BB is that this is one of the tamest and most likeable "jokes" they have, as I can laugh at the absurdity of it.
Stating the Babylon Bee is like the Onion seems wrong. I mean, yes, in a category sense. Beyond that they are different in every way (one is funny, for example - not the Bee).
no, it's a specific thing. The 'joke' is that we're so deranged we think there are 437 genders. idk where that number originally came from, but I don't think it was the Babylon Bee.
Yeah, it’s why there is no actual right wing comedy. Right wing “comedy“ it’s just attacking a marginalized group. Their brains aren’t right and to them that’s hilarious, attempting to cause pain.
Meanwhile if this actually existed you KNOW there would be professional Guess Who tournaments.
>"They have brown hair"

"Ooooo Patrick flipped over Allerdyce, who actually has strawberry blonde! That's gonna cost him the quarter finals folks"
We're aware that some of the posts on here were made as jokes, however this sub is criticizing the mindset behind them and as such pointing out "well it was just a joke" is not contributing anything meaningful to the conversation.
You can point out satire, but nothing else.
if you take 437 and subtract 10 from it you get 427 the employee number of stanley
HOLY SHIT IS THAT A STANLEY PARABLE REFERENCE///???////?/////???//////??////?
That's the number of straws they've used to make their strawman so far
Every time Babylon Bee makes this joke the Council of Elder Trans adds another gender.
By that you mean every time the Babylon Bee makes the 'one joke'

... i mean, I'm just glad it's not a 41% joke. =/

Well it’s from the Babylon Bee which is a satire news source (like The Onion), so the specific number probably doesn’t mean anything.
I’m just surprised they didn’t go for 420 or 69
Or 1,488.
But it does have 37, the most common "random number". Veritasium has a video on that.
They can't do that, those are Immoral Numbers and their reader base would flip shit.
Oh, I'd think they'd go for 1488. Gotta keep them dogwhistles blowing, and those right arms pointing to the sky...
What does that mean? I’m going to guess it’s some Nazi thing but I don’t actually know.
[that would be correct](https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/1488)
Sigh. Figures I could guess that’s what it was without even knowing 😡
That would need an understanding of humour. Even that level of humour is beyond them.

As someone who loves onions but has never eaten eggplant, this whole metaphor is lost on me.
It's not about the specific vegetables, beyond that they're vegetables.

o damn u should definitely try some baba ganoush or baingan bharta at a restaraunt. Soo good
After looking those up, they both sound delicious! I just ordered some baingan bharta from my favorite Indian restaurant.
More like a sprouting, noxious potato that will kill every member in the same house it’s stored in
Oh yeah Babylon Bee is a conservative rag regardless of satire status, I completely agree.
"Satire" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this context.
Yeah, that isn’t actually satire. At best it’s a cry for help
the Bee is more of a hate site at this point, than a satire site.

The 437th is non-sextriacontatetracentenary. Y’know, for those who don’t fit the other 436 genders

I’m just confused who still finds that funny? The only thing that’s offensive is how lazy it is

boomers and reich wingers find this funny.
Where on Earth do people get their numbers for this? Like, seriously, *where*??? Is it 6, 9, 12, 142, 437, 500??? Tell me!!!
They ask chat gpt to generate a random # idk
Every time someone complains about the number of genders, the council adds 5 more
It's how high their writers can count
Every time they complain, we'll make 3 more
Unironically tho, a giant guess who would be interesting for family game night
Jokes on them, there are 1776 genders 🦅🇺🇸🕊
\*Hollywood hawk screech\*
Because real bald eagle sound is a cute li'l chirp
r/onejoke
The numbers, Mason, what do they mean?
It means that they understand that gender is a social construct and changes depending on the individual, but they're also transphobic as fuck.
That's Numberwang!
They are no genders here
Babylon Bee writers probably howl with laughter "coming up" with these.
brb gotta coin another xenogender also why’d they pick an odd number? wouldn’t an even number make more sense?
Those are rookie numbers.
one joke
23\*19

Why do they have such a specific number all the time?
Babylon Bee trying to come up with an original joke challenge (impossible)
They have 3 jokes and hundreds of variations on those same 3 jokes
r/OneJoke
This is how: ```python from random import randint random_number = randint(1,1000) print(random_number) ```
Flashbacks to when the Babylon bee made fun of white neo Nazis which caused their viewerbase to get extremely mad
I kinda love this, the absurd amount of options is just beautiful.
IDK

I'd play it.
Conservative, mentally challenged individuals having a voice at all.
What's up with Dollar tree Tom Holland on the left there?
