As the rest of the Internet, I applaud Afroman for sticking it to unaccountable racist cops. I am just a bit sore that trans people were made, once again, the butt of the joke in the process. (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

For context, I am referring to the fact that the "Licc'em Low Lisa" track picks on the officer's (quite deep) voice, which leads to the suggestions she harbors a massive D, and the call for "someone to verify her vagina", in a related Tweet. The suggestion that she is a lesbian is also used as an insult in both places.

I enjoyed the whole thing as much as the next person. But calling to verify genitals in this climate of gender policing is (at least) a grey zone, even given the context. And given the "implied transness", then showing women running away scared from her, again, is not great in the current climate. (I mean the relentless narratives denigrating trans women as a threat to cis women and girls.)

Unless Ohio is the kind of place where the mere suggestion that a female LE officer working with children is trans is so hilarious, that the suggestion is unintentionally wholesome. But I can't know that, since I'm not from there.

Look, I try not to judge people, but... Come on. Show any comedian a clip of that cop talking and that's gonna be the joke. It's not just that her voice is low, she literally talks like a dude.

His songs were blatantly trying to piss them off. Of course he would go for the obvious joke. He's not the kind of rapper that writes about systemic injustice, he raps about pussy and weed. Like, that's it.

Also, the part of the song that suggests she might be trans:

Man or a woman

You really don't know her (You really don't know)

I noticed her voice Is a

Few octaves lower (Few octaves low)

She's not too ugly

She's not too fine, but she (She's not too fine)

Might whoop out somethin'

Somethin' that's bigger than mine

That's a direct reference to his 2001 song Crazy Rap, more commonly known as Colt 45:

I met this lady in Hollywood

She had green hair, but damn she looked good

I took her to my house because she was fine

But she whooped out a dick that was bigger than mine

Considering the homo/trans phobia in a lot of rap at that time, I'd basically consider that pro-trans. He even used the right pronouns!

Well known trope. All over 1990s comedy and what have you.

So this argument boils down to what? Was she really trans she would deserve to be mocked? Are we censoring ourselves with real trans people out of superficial courtesy but bash cisgender women for "looking" or "sounding" trans. Nothing problematic with that! /s

Considering the homo/trans phobia in a lot of rap at that time, I'd basically consider that pro-trans.

Questionable take. So would racist jokes, being "relatively better" than lynchings, be "pro-black for the time"? I don't think so.
