apparently a TERF made this to mock trans people and it's actually just the best thing?

@noelle
I was thinking about this the other day and I love it so much

@noelle wait this was made mockingly...that makes it even better tbh.

@noelle 😂 cc: @cute_weeds (we were talking about people who should never try to make memes)

@noelle I am here for supportive Skeletor

@TheShyIon @noelle Skeletor would absolutely respect anyone's pronouns even as he was trying to kill them and take over the world

@noelle Wait... what? How... how do you mess up mocking someone that much? Because without that context this looks really wholesome. It's like "SEE? Even SKELETOR respects people, and he's supposed to be EVIL."

@noelle i've had to look up that acronym several times now; it never sticks in my brain because the concept is so asenine.
but more importantly, as someone who grew up on they-man cartoons and toys, yes. that is the best thing.

@noelle it's actually from an anti-TERF Facebook page

@noelle seriously Skeletor's ultra-cool attitude really sold it as a "gentle joke by enbies." Which I mean, everyone's cool with Skeletor's name change...

@noelle im surprised a TERF made this it feels so sincerely trans-positive

@grime_witch @noelle no some TERF stole the meme to make fun of it or something apparently.

@noelle oh huh from what i heard it came from a trans subreddit but then some TERFs thought it was supposed to be derisive or stole it to make fun of it

@noelle i know in my heart that it's canon that skeletor respects pronouns

@noelle I've heard conflicting reports as to the origins of this pic, the other being that it originated as a pure and good shitpost on a trans subreddit and some TERF later stole it.

Either way it is still the best thing.

@noelle

MYAH! I'm not nice, I'm supposed to be *EVIL*! You see, They-Man, by affirming your new gender identity, I am mucking up the heteronormative gender roles that people have created and... and... making life better for all trans people- DANG IT! Foiled again!

@noelle it wasnt made mockingly, it was copied mockingly by a terf

@noelle I thought it was made to annoy conservatives. At least, that's what the last person who posted it said.

Either way, good on Skeletor.

@noelle actually it is really cute XD jokes on them hah

@noelle I've seen this so much and I never realized it was by a TERF

holy hecc

@grainloom @noelle Some of the replies to this are saying it was originated from an anti-TERF page but then stolen by TERFs.

Which would makes sense, of course. TERFs have all the originality of a half-arsed Wolfenstein clone.

Unintentional wholesomeness is best wholesomeness

@noelle boost if you support They-Man and trans ally Skeletor

@noelle really? I always assumed it was glorious trans / enby humor.

@kitoconnell @noelle I think that's the confusing beauty of its origins. It's like a meta-pun on Poe's Law as well as being whatever either lore indicates at this point. whynotboth.gif

@noelle Cripes. Not only is it insensitive and insulting, but I don't even get the joke.

I mean, I get it, but...
