1. Condena al uso de la homofobia como arma política.
La mayoría de los comentarios expresan un fuerte rechazo al uso de la homofobia y la transfobia para atacar a figuras políticas, incluso a aquellas consideradas adversarias. Los usuarios argumentan que emplear la homosexualidad o la identidad trans como un insulto es una forma de intolerancia que perjudica a la comunidad LGBTQ+, independientemente del objetivo del ataque.
- I hate musk and trump, but if you're using homophobia/transphobia as a way to mock them, i'm gonna block you. Double for ai images.
- Spare me from people who think 'ironic' homophobia or is justified just because musk & trump are terrible people. Do better.
- While trump and musk are dispicable beings that should face justice by the people for their actions, depictions like this rely on homophobia to discredit them. Which is not fine, homophobia is still disgusting even if it's used against your enemies.
- You can't fight fascism with homophobia. Fuck off.
- Not so friendly reminder: transphobia and homophobia in the name of mocking trump/musk is still transphobia and homophobia, and is way more likely to be seen by the trans and queer people in your life than by the people you're trying to own. Do better.
- You can't be against the nazis while sharing the values and demonstrating it by normalizing their bigotry. Mocking elon & trump with homophobia only shows you are part of the culture that molded and shielded them their entire lives. You show that you think being gay is worse than being a nazi.
2. El Contenido de las Críticas: Memes, IA y Nombres Feminizados.
Las críticas se centran en formas específicas de burla, como imágenes generadas por inteligencia artificial que muestran a Musk y Trump en situaciones íntimas, el uso de nombres feminizados como "Elonia" para referirse a Musk, y la representación de ambos como una pareja gay. Estas tácticas son señaladas como inherentemente homofóbicas, transfóbicas y misóginas.
- Yes! thank you. Also the homophobia with all the awful ai images of musk and trump. I mean… these people are truly awful in a thousand different ways, without having to punch down on others.
- It’s homophobia when they portray trump and musk as gay and it’s transmisogyny when they portray them as women or dressed in drag.
- If i see anyone doing that "elonia musk" or "first lady musk" shit i'm blocking you. I'm so done with these liberals who have to reach for homophobia and transphobia to make fun of awful people.
- The homophobia comes in with the idea that musk and 45 are a couple. The transphobia comes in with the idea that calling a cis man a woman is funny.
- I saw some protest footage last night where someone had printed a full-color poster of trump and musk about to kiss to use as a protest sign. Utterly revolting displays of homophobia abound.
- A comic that puts trump and musk in a d/s scenario is no different than a comic where trump is gay with putin. Or where trump is a woman. Homophobia, transphobia, kinkphobia or whatever— it’s all trash.
3. Justificaciones y Contraargumentos.
Una minoría de usuarios defiende estas bromas, argumentando que no son inherentemente homofóbicas. Sostienen que el humor no radica en la homosexualidad en sí, sino en señalar la supuesta sumisión de una figura a la otra, o en utilizar la propia homofobia de los conservadores en su contra. Afirman que el objetivo es ridiculizar la hipocresía de sus adversarios.
- It’s not homophobia!! it’s simply proving that maga jerks call trump, daddy. Now elon steps in and they get two daddies! try to keep up.
- Second, this is insisting that trump is a servant of musk and "kissing his feet" (i.e. Showing obedience to his master.) it has nothing to fucking do with homophobia. Please fucking stop making mountains out of molehills.
- If elon/trump/republicans didn’t campaign on homophobia, i doubt anyone would post such memes, that’s my take.
- They are literally calling trump and elon daddy. That's the joke, the weird attachment juxtaposed against their homophobia.
- But it's only "mocking" if you think being gay is bad, right? if i don't think being gay is bad, how is it homophobic to say two guys are having relations? i feel like it's more leveraging trump and musk's homophobia?
- I’m not exactly happy with the dems rn, but i don’t read this as homophobia. It doesn’t seem like it’s drawing much attention to their gender at all much less being derogatory. I assume it’s an attempt at their messaging that donald is subservient to elon.
