@CJTheran @MereMultitude @drvolts @LiamKerrigan17 You are conflating the distinct questions of whether I like a joke and whether I think a joke should be suppressed — PolitiTweet.org

@drvolts A long-standing publication that exclusively publishes satire seems like a pretty easy case for "yes this qualifies as satire," not an edge case. — PolitiTweet.org

@MereMultitude @drvolts @LiamKerrigan17 I have thought deeply about all of these questions. It seems to me that it is you who is oversimplifying them partly due to a failure of reflection about how tough they are. — PolitiTweet.org

This is going to wind up being a classic example of the law of merited impossibility (that is, a seamless CW change from *of course that's not happening you conspiratorial nut* --> *of course they were always and absolutely should have been doing that*) — PolitiTweet.org

@MereMultitude @drvolts @LiamKerrigan17 "It depends" is in fact the truthful answer--I would not have an overall rule on misgendering because in my estimation some instances of it, like those done to harass, are valueless, while others, like satire or political debate, are not valueless. — PolitiTweet.org

@drvolts It depends. If I were making the rules, satire, especially of government officials, would almost always be allowed. So would unsettled political or philosophical arguments. Harassment would not be allowed. In what context did misgendering occur? That would influence the answer. — PolitiTweet.org

@JamesSurowiecki @ijbailey @ASFleischman @Popehat @MaxEpstein5 @jbarro What do you think about publishing an image of entire emails with lines about "the big guy," not just snippets?
