From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Good job reinforcing the stereotype that transgender people are violent and mentally unstable.

How dare you be upset when you are insulted!

🙄

Really? Jokes about steam roller counts as violence? Those Looney Toon be a real scary show for ya? Wild they make it for kids.

Shame on you. Feign your mock outrage and cry those crocodile tears, for the rest of us are laughing at the sad transparency.

In what world is driving a steamroller over someone not violent? How would you like it if someone made a meme about driving a steamroller over transgender people?

You didn't answer my question.

Because it's a very silly question, one that I'm not going to entertain because...

Do you really think this person is out renting a steam roller? And trying to find the street address of that person now?!

You are steching so hard to call this a violent threat when it could not be more silly. You're not motivated by "preventing violence", because the entire premise here is ridiculous at face value. You're motivated by wanting to call trans people unstable.

Go tell your friends, your boss, your family you stopped someone from getting killed by a steam roller by saying "tut tut, ur crazy" on the internet. You know damn well they are gonna laugh at you.

So I presume if someone posted a comment saying “I'd love to roll him over with a steamroller” under a post about a transgender person, you would not consider that a violent threat because they are not going to actually get a steamroller?
