Who is writing this shit at Babylon bee? Do they think this is funny? I don’t really get what they’re trying to get across with this. Maybe I’m just stupid because if there’s a joke I’m not getting it, and if there isn’t then I don’t understand whatever commentary this is, and if it’s not meant to be either then what’s the point?
Nah, there’s no subtle joke you’re missing here. They’re a bunch of right wing hacks pretending that mocking the concept of being trans and dredging up old conservative boogey(wo)men and conspiracy theories is the epitome of cleverness 🙄
I read it, you sure it ain’t satire? It just sounds like the conservative Onion
It’s trying to be that, but to be satire it needs to be a reflection of something, usually in an absurdist kind of way. But this is so detached from anything, I can’t even think of a way to rewrite it to make more sense since I don’t even know what they’re talking about. Are they suggesting that California rules too many things as suicide? Are they suggesting that deaths due to storms are under reported? Or, and this is a stretch but this is Babylon bee we’re talking about, could this be an even dumber version of their One Joke with the stance of “my hurricane death identifies as a suicide”? Nothing would surprise me, but I’m not sure I’ll ever know what the intent of this was.
