Here's the thing, it doesn't matter what is cathartic for you if your response to fascists functions to further their goals. The fundamental joke of this post is that this man is foolish for pretending to be a woman. Whether or not he is "stupid" for being a bigot with a crossdressing kink (as many bigots do), the common value both in his fetishization of feminisation and jokes such as this is that it is demeaning to present feminine in a male body.

Liberals are far too self-satisfied with identifying "hypocrisy" in this man's actions to interrogate their own misogyny and transphobia when they respond to it. They think their internally held values somehow reduces the consequences of their actions, so contributing to the genocide of trans people through the reinforcement of these values is misrecognized as justified because they are, "making fun of the bad guys;" much to the benefit of fascists.

You know I'm agreeing with you in my previous comment, right?
