almost-always-eventually-right: collaterlysisters: maxistentialist: horriblewarning: DEATH TO TRANSPHOBIA I regret writing this card, it was a mean, cheap joke. We took it out of the game a while ago. thanks! I wish that more people in comedy realized they could just, uh, do this, and not throw a big fucking stink about it, and go on to make more jokes that are good instead of bad. It is strange that so many people seem to imagine that a simple and sincere apology is a difficult or terrible thing to give. Cards Against Humanity is a group of people writing immensely offensive joke prompts and punchlines for a living, and if they’re collectively a better person than you are when it comes to being called out on offensive language and jokes, you should really reconsider your behavior. This is encouraging.

honestly?

The fact that they took it out is a bit more offensive than the card itself to me.

The game makes fun of everyone just about equally. If you designate groups that can’t be made fun of when everyone else is a target it’s basically saying you don’t see them as an equal - positive discrimination is still discrimination. Cards against Humanity’s entire selling point is making fun of everything and being over the top offensive. They have rape jokes, dead baby jokes, racism sexism…basically everything under the sun. That’s what makes it fun - people know it’s not serious. Like - you knew what you were getting into when it’s entire selling point is being offensive. I’d rather be seen as an equal than singled out as some sacred cow that can’t ever be hurt in the slightest. Being offended at the game is part of the fun.
