spujb suggested that drag should try some simpler memes than the Cunk one from yesterday, until the people on 196 understand the "trans trolls" issue well enough to appreciate memes with more irony and layers in them. It's a good point, most people don't really think about transphobes accusing trans people of being trolls very often. Drag would like everyone to understand the issue well enough that when trans people are accused of trolling, most people are ready to think critically about the accusation. Transphobes like to claim legitimacy by saying their BS is in line with the best interests of trans people. Like TERFs crying about trans kids going through "invasive surgeries". It's able to fool a lot of people who aren't familiar with the specific issue.
