Nah, the drag stuff is fucked up. Misgendering people is a shitty thing to do regardless of the person being misgendered.

You’re making it sound like it’s choosing to misgender her, it’s not. It’s not fucked up because it’s a text extruder making a mistake, there’s no good or bad intention here. It’s shitty because the current state of glorified hallucinating autocorrects is shitty, but not because evil Grok is choosing to do anything.

Just because a machine accidentally does it, don’t make it okay to laugh at.

Drag isn’t the same as trans. It’s a character. There’s a huge difference. Drag is performative. Trans is just about being honest.
Misgendering a trans person, at least intentionally, is an asshole move. Misgendering a drag queen? Please. If you are unsure, will let you know when you’ve crossed a line.

Saying she isn’t a woman but is actually a man dressing up is misgendering her. Don’t misgender people at all, full stop; It’s not funny and it only perpetuates sexism.
Likewise transphobes attack cis women all the time for not being their idea of what a woman looks like.

These are the people who think homophobia is cool when they don’t like the person. They’d be racists in the 1960s saying “it’s okay to call them that when they are rude to me.”

More of pointed homophobia towards homophobes because these are the fucks who would be upset by it; pathetic snowflakes that they are.

Then racism is okay because someone who’s racist (who won’t ever actually see it) might get mad at it?

It’s not gay to fuck yourself in drag. If anything that’s straighter than jerking off the regular way!

People really think homophobic jokes on a niche forum somehow stops fascism.

Despite all their efforts to lobotomize it, grok always slowly works its way back to rationality. At least, so far it has.
