So, op posted a joke that someone else made they knew was in bad taste, but got a chuckle from? That sets a pretty low bar for calling someone a bigot.

No quarter for bigotry. OP would have had his post deleted in a properly modded community, so he made his own community, made the post, then stickied it to the top of that community.

I don't care for people who 'get a chuckle' punching down on minorities. Maybe I just have higher standards than you.

I guess I don't get the context. What i see is OP pouring a screenshot of a tweet exchange to ImGoingToHellForThis. The idea of the community being that the material is inappropriate but still has an element of humor.

"Dude he made this extremely obvious fig leaf to cover for himself! He should be able to make trans people feel uncomfortable on the internet, because the name of the sub he purpose made to post his shitty opinions is called 'edgelord cunts say dumb shit no one likes!' "

Stop being wilfully obtuse. "I dOn'T gEt ThE CoNteXt" yes you do, you just have a soft spot for bigots. Fuckin embarrassing.

My point is that what you posted as evidence bigotry is not really very strong. Certainly, if that joke was posted by a bigot it would be punching down. But otherwise it is just a normal situational joke.
