    So you’re telling me that “my gender is apache helicopter” and “my gender is doom” are two very different jokes.

    As I said, this “bad website design” is always targeted at the nonbinary choices, why?

    You are just the kind of person who refuses to admit that a joke is discriminatory because “it’s not the subject” and “it’s funny”. Delude yourself all you want, that kind of shit passively encourages people to remain convinced that discrimination is fun.

    A joke that stems from the idea that every gender is absurd if it is not male or female is discriminatory to me.

    Especially considering that this trend of “memes” mocking website forms started with people mocking websites that were “overdoing” it by giving a lot of nonbinary choices, and all the comments being like “haha lol helicopter”.

    Now the meme evolved to instead imagining forms that don’t exist but the underlying idea is still the same, to make fun of the “absurdity” of other genders. You’ll notice that this form of meme basically never changes the choices of male and female, only nonbinary choices, because the joke is not about website forms, but about nonbinary genders through the prism of forms.
