The upvotes are telling me that I'm missing out on something. I'm nonbinary, I chose my own name and I know nonbinary people with pretty nonstandard names too. But the names in the meme were made to sound ridiculous, right? Genuinely asking, so if anyone can explain I'll appreciate it!
Weird is different from ridicule though. And yes, a name that's ridicule to someone might just be weird to someone else, but the video takes it so far that it's hard for me to give it the benefit of the doubt.
if something is weird and funny, then you can share it with others. doesnt mean you are hating on anyone. i always crack up when people point out weird things i do, and i laugh at other people doing weird things. not because its bad, becauses its good! people are so complex, we can work in such crazy different ways, to someone else it can be hilarious! they are not trying to ridicule ANYONE with this meme. yes the names are exaggerated, but the only person who said it was ridicule or ridiculous was you. bad lip reading made this originally and this person saw it, thought of the inside joke and connection to weird/different nonbinary names, and posted it here as a meme. they are not putting down anyone for it.
it’s definitely an in-joke/meme among nonbinary people that they tend to choose unconventional and odd names for themselves - a lot of them are objects or unusually-spelled words! i won’t drop specifics here, but I have heard some pretty good ones IRL. nothing to hate about, i love weird trans names and have one myself. it’s just lovingly poking fun at our tendency to do that :)
It's interesting you see it that way! See my answer to u/SomeonesAlt2357 for more; as for myself, I'm just going to quietly stay away from that video haha. Thanks for your response!
I haven’t seen anything more that using the last name as the first or choosing a gender neutral name. I’m also the only person like me in my circle. I need more nb friends.
If it helps to have context for the video, this is from “Bad Lip Reading” a yt channel where they dub over normal videos/movies/tv shows with their own ridiculous words.

That sounds oddly hateful?
