This joke gas been going for nearly a decade and still don't get how its supposed to make us feel bad or something..

Bigots use it like if it wasn't overdone to the point is not offensive anymore, just annoying and stupid

I first heard the attack helicopter joke from a trans friend who was super into military hardware and she thought it was the funniest shit ever. I didn't realize it was supposed to be transphobic for years. The way she made it sound was more like "hell yes my gender can be anything and no one can stop me!"

Agreed. Being an A-10 Warthog is much better

[-] Hupf@feddit.org 5 points 3 days ago

The A10 is a AGAB passing as a plane.

yeah I put it on forms all the time not in transphobic way but like "who cares !!! And if so why the hell do you wanna know?!?".

This on random stuff, for things like social or other studies where I clearly see the intent I usually put a seriously response, now on affiliate or library card why do you need that?

i feel like attack helicopter in 2021 is kinda crazy. that was a 6 year old "joke" by that point.

Conservatives are still using it now. They are allergic to personal growth.

[-] red_tomato@lemmy.world 21 points 5 days ago

That’s why they’re conservatives

They only have the one joke afterall.

Wait until it becomes 18, then the right stops obsessing with it.

haven't told this in a while, used to be in my clipboard.

the first attack helicopter, the Bell UH-1 Iroquois, was originally designed as a medvac helicopter.

it was later given a machine gun mount and turned into an attack helicopter.

NO ONE would say, hey look at that medvac helicopter that identifies as an attack helicopter.

Teenage edgelord to bisexual 20 something to transgender 30 something

This describes like 80% of my friend group lol

I'm reminded of when I cut off a transphobe by saying "Yes, yes, I know, you're a fucking attack helicopter"

He then said "I wasn't going to say I was a fucking attack helicopter"

Without missing a beat I told him "Right, sorry, incel, so not a FUCKING attack helicopter"

[-] msspwn@pawb.social 17 points 5 days ago

It took me so long to realise it was suppos!d to be a transphobic statement. I usualy seen it in games like tf2 after someone gets into a crazy spot and getting asked how they got up there.

[-] IPeaceInYourFace@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

I like this one. Because it shows us as humans, dipping our toes into something to see if it's okay and then when we figure out nobody gives a shit, then we can be ourselves.

There's a reason why people protesting something usually become it: you are what you think about.

[-] GalacticSushi 10 points 4 days ago

nobody gives a shit

I fucking wish

[-] kamillz 9 points 5 days ago
