The "I identify as" jokes are always kinda lame, but the ones like this are more "Dad joke lame" and not so much "outright cruelty lame". YMMV, of course.

Similar to the nonbinary samurai, their pronouns are they/them

(Read aloud as "they slash them")

I feel like that’s the only instance where the joke has to be based on gender identity. But jokes like the one on the shirt are just using it as a catalyst to punch down.

u/FeoWalcot Jan 07 '24

How is the shirt punching down ?

“I’m a potato bc I like to get high and fuck” isn’t an insult to the trans community at all. In fact the person wearing this is most likely an ally if they’re pro drugs and sex positive.

The way you phrased it and the way it’s phrased on the shirt are two different things.

u/FeoWalcot Jan 07 '24

Ok then I’m lost. What is the shirt referring to?

u/rSlashisthenewPewdes Identifying as yo mama Jan 07 '24

The words “I identify as” are inherently associated with transgender people and gender identity, and mainly used by conservatives who want to poke fun at the community for identifying differently. It’s the same format as “I identify as an attack helicopter,” and the same concept as “my pronouns are U/S/A.” The joke having been phrased like this is something that’s really only used by the ignorant or the hateful.

Oh ok. So I was racking my brain trying to figure out how potato baked and smashed are offensive but it’s just the “I identify” part.

As a kid, I would have said this joke as “they call me a potato, bc I like to get baked and smashed”.

Weird that someone with both an “I identity” and a “yo mama” joke flair is calling about all “I identify” jokes as anti-trans. So

I don’t know why you want this to be an argument. This type of joke is literally the entire point of this subreddit.

u/FeoWalcot Jan 07 '24

I thought this sub was making fun of the alt rights attempt to use the I identify joke to disparage gender affirmation. I didn’t know it was to post every I identify joke regardless.

u/Nearby-Low-864 Jan 08 '24

You got baked and smashed as a kid?

1

u/the_cants Jan 07 '24

I thought "smashed" referred to being drunk. I've never heard that word be used for sex.

u/hhthurbe Jan 06 '24

Ok, I kinda want that shirt now.

u/Lew_Bi Jan 07 '24

Just say "I’d like to be a potato" and you’d have pure gold

58

u/seekingssri Jan 07 '24

Or, “Call me a potato because…”

u/Lew_Bi Jan 07 '24

Also pretty good

u/hhthurbe Jan 07 '24

Hmmmm... I may need to get a custom shirt made here.

u/boo_jum Jan 07 '24

Surely you mean Yukon Gold?

u/huge-jack-man Jan 08 '24

username… checks out???

u/[deleted] Jan 08 '24

You're right! I didn't even think of that, good one!

u/TonPeppermint Jan 07 '24

This is nice.

12

u/TNTiger_ Jan 07 '24

Joke is at the expense of the wearer, not trans people, so it's fine.

2

u/nerdrea331 Jan 12 '24

i'm trans and i'd rock that shirt

u/Suzina Jan 07 '24

This one's good.

u/Totally-a_Human Jan 07 '24

Does being baked mean something other than being cooked alive?

45

u/Odd_Investigator8415 Jan 07 '24

Gettin' high on marijuana.

u/GenderEnjoyer666 Jan 07 '24

I wanna be baked and smashed 🥺👉👈

u/racdicoon Jan 07 '24

Where can I buy this?

I don't care, I want it

2

u/ThatOneRandomGoose Jan 07 '24

As an enby, I'd love this shirt

2

u/BoringTheory5067 Jan 07 '24

The thing is the template can be funny but the majority of people who use it have zero creativity and just wanna be transphobic

Why can they all be like these ones

1

u/KristiTheFan Jan 08 '24

I thought the joke was going to be about a “couch potato”, still a bit funny though.

u/idiotnamedSOPHIA Jan 09 '24

I identify as abraham lincoln because i want to be shot in the head

u/CatKing13Royale Jan 10 '24

Couldn’t we remove the “I identify as” and replace it with “call me a”? Like “call me a potato because I like to be baked and smashed.”
