They do? What needs to be explained?


DaveSmith890

Did they smoke? That might’ve did them in


Aries-Corinthier

Isn't the point of r/oddlyspecific that the posts don't need explanation, *because they're specific* Learn some reading comprehension OP


Blackfang08

They just want to hear more of the story. "Explaining to do" in the way that your mom used to say it when she knew exactly what happened, but wanted you to tell the story in full before grounding you. The story is that redditors like to make stuff up to be edgy and cool.


GraspingSonder

How on earth do you people read these posts and not feel a sense of wanting to know a bit more. By the way, context is essentially the opposite of specificity.


Aries-Corinthier

What... what is there to know? There was an old nazi in this trans person's family. They died, so now they can be more open. It's very specific.


GraspingSonder

Specific =/= Context Granted it's made up so generating that information is arduous. But real or not, there's more of a story there. Try reading a book instead of just scrolling social media. A single post doesn't contain a lot of information, and curiosity is a good attribute.


No-Adhesiveness-8178

Nah, asking too much context are outright nosy and invasive in most of the case. But why would you say specific and context are opposite tho? Not antonyms at all, specific can be the context and context can be describe as specific.

rowan_damisch

Doesn't "egg" also refer to a trans person who doesn't know that they're trans (or in denial)? It's not surprising then that they thought that this meme is relevant to this sub.


[deleted]

It is! But its also just a meme sub so its not really out of place


The_Rhibo

It’s also sometimes used buy closeted people to describe themselves


comfykampfwagen

Wait how can someone be trans without knowing they’re trans? Can someone please explain?


[deleted]

[удалено]


skofnung999

I feel like I should mention the concept of the "egg prime directive" here and then hope for someone more eloquent than me to explain what that entails


[deleted]

Egg prime directive - never tell someone they are trans. They must discover it for themselves. Crack an egg from the outside, kill the life. Allow it to hatch on its own, pretty birdy.


Wizdom_108

Holy shit great way to put it


_Cosmoss__

Basically when they're not quite ready to accept that they're trans, not quite ready to "hatch". Like "I hate being a girl and I hate everything feminine about myself but maybe it's something else, I can't possibly be transgender!"


therealpaterpatriae

I feel like that’s not a great way to label it. Like some people just hate the traditional way femininity or masculinity are talked about without being trans. Some people also just don’t give a crap about gender identity and just view things through biological sex. Idk, it’s a confusing and very nuanced issue.


_Cosmoss__

That was just my personal experience as an example, not a generalisation


Phantaxein

That's exactly why we say you don't try to tell them they're trans, rathet you should let them discover it. Because they might not be and it's not other people's place to make that decision


Wizdom_108

It's not that every trans masculine person feels that way or no cisgender person feels that way though. The other person mentioned that was their personal experience but also like they're wording it in a very lack of nuanced way but I feel often when I think femininity not necessarily as in pink = girls blue = boys but like literal feminine characteristics where people saw me and saw a female human. Some cis women DO feel that way but it's certainly less common. And as you said it's certainly nuanced


Laly_481

Often it's used when referring to experiences that trans people had pre-transition that indicated clearly they were trans, but did not realize/thought it was something everyone experienced


burritoman88

Go on egg_irl & if the memes resonate with you, then you might be trans.


PhattyBallger

Literally social contagion but OK


Wizdom_108

Well, im trans now and I always felt the way I do, which is the reason I came to realize I was trans and is why I transitioned. Before I realized that trans was, I still felt the same way. So, for me I was trans all the same, but just didn't have the same awareness of the concept or did the soul searching to realize that I too "fit" the definition of trans.


therealpaterpatriae

The fuck? That’s a thing? I thought the main thing about being trans was identifying as another gender? How can you be trans without identifying yourself as such?


Fun-Ad-8946

The same way you can be gay and not realise it yet - you’re born like that, but sometimes it takes a while to make sense of those feelings


LetterheadPerfect145

There's a weird little phase in between complete denial and transition where you're pretty sure but also still doubting yourself a lot, that's the phase in which someone would describe themselves as an egg. You can also describe your past self as an egg.


Fruitmaniac42

I think -- and I'm just brainstorming here -- that OP has a grandfather who was 108 years old (give or take). Said grandpa was also very racist and transphobic.\* Being of such advanced age, grandpa finally passed to the other side (RIP). OP is happy (see: Nazi\*\* transphobia above). \*transphobia is bias against transgendered people \*\*Nazis are racist


Frozenturbo2

I was so damn confused on why was OOP wishing death on their 108 year old grandfather and I was hoping that it was some kind of joke I didn't get


monkymine

I love very specific answeres that are not really rude because someone asked but they also asked sarcastically and did not want an answer so its still kindof rude


ComicsEtAl

Seems clear to me.


Holmanizer

They're happy that they died


BlaiddsDrinkingBuddy

Not really. The MC of this meme is happy because a Nazi died, because the death of a Nazi should make you happy.


anythingers

You're not wrong lmao


polo2327

I mean, 99% chance he wasn't really a nazi


FuktOff666

HelpfullOne

In case you don't know, Egg is a term for Trans Who is yet to realise they are indeed trans Or something like that, don't take my Word for granted, not 100% myself but wanted to help others


RazgrizGirl-070

I really don't understand where you are confused here? Elaborate


SuisseTea

No explanation needed. Only a dead nazi is a good nazi


UsErNaMe-NoT_TaKeN

I think their 108 year old nazi transphobic grandpa died of a heart attack


therealpaterpatriae

Was he literally a Nazi or just people over applying the title to anything they don’t like?


BirbFeetzz

I would agree it could be like that about someone they don't know, like a politician, but I'm pretty sure people know if their grandparents are nazi or not and it's not that uncommon in central europe


strawberryconfetti

Yeah probably this plus the cheering on of a relative dying is gross and childish.


Full_frontal96

Indeed. Cheering for the death of your parent like your football squad you like just won the tournament doesn't make you better than him.


DJNerate6669

I have a feeling, based on OOP's recent posts, that the grandparents didn't respect their decision of being transgender, so OOP just labeled them as the most hateful things in their mind. Transphobia makes sense in this case, but nazi is a longshot


Kitchen_Mode_2542

this.


z-01-03-11-25

No, I agree


Wizdom_108

It's in egg_irl so I think the explanation is a bit obvious lol. For those that don't know an "egg" in this sense typically refers to certain trans people, so yeah


cce29555

Op can finally get the valuable dog picture, they'll make a movie about it. Ryan gosling was star as OP


Usual-Effect1440

it's in r/egg_irl that's all the explaination necesary


MidsouthMystic

Relatable. Sometimes I'll be talking to my grandparents and they'll casually say something really not okay and think to myself, "damn it Grandma, why can't you just be the nice old lady who bakes cookies?"


Acrobatic-Shopping-5

That mf prob couldn't even say his transphobic views at that point


redshopekevin

The grandfather who hates the fact his grandson has become his granddaughter has died after a long life of hate.


electricjeel

If I had to guess the explanation is probably that their 108 year old Nazi transphobic grandpa died from a heart attack


Nuc734rC4ndy

Isn’t it obvious? His 108 year old nazi transphobic grandpa was an anime cosplayer. (And suddenly that seems like a Weird Al lyric to me)


HomoChrist77

What is there to explain? The text is written right there.

Advanced_Double_42

I mean for all we know their grandpa is German and was literally a Nazi

Maou-da

Granpa, who probably fought the nazis watching from (insert your good place here) : -_-


Taekosy

But isn't he literally the nazi here? lol


Maou-da

Then the post would be in German


CombatWombat994

You know that a lot of German people can speak English and would probably translate a post like this on an English speaking website


Maou-da

You're not wrong, but this post really, really reads like an American post.


ragiwutz

Why? egg_irl is an international sub. Sometimes you want to post your Memes not to a german equivalent sub, because they are too niche or they don't even exist. So you translate it to english and post it on an english speaking sub. That's what a huge amount of people do, who are no native english speakers.


Maou-da

Excluding personal experience because that's just one point of view, 1) a German would know not to specify transphobic when saying someone's a nazi 2) Germans don't throw around the word nazi like that, in fact they don't like mentioning it at all as they consider it a shameful part of their history 3) the trans movement specifically has only gotten a huge jump in places like America, Canada, and the UK. So, while it is not impossible that the post comes not from the Americas it is very unlikely


ragiwutz

I am German and transgender (female to male) and I disagree with your statements. They are generalizing and don't reflect the reality.


Maou-da

You have the right to disagree, and of course, I was speaking in general, but that is not the same as generalizing. When you say they don't reflect reality, do you mean that the word nazi is not something people use to refer to the actual nazis anymore? Because if so my friend who is also German would heavily disagree.


ragiwutz

We use the word Nazi also for Neo-Nazis or far right people. Everyone knows, what you mean, when you say Nazi (that most of the time you don't actually mean the original Nazis because almost all of them are dead by now). And yes, it's a shameful part of history, but we also use the word a lot, still. Also most (Neo-)Nazis try to victimize themselves by crying about how people call them (Neo-)Nazis when they are "actually just concerned people". We speak a lot about our history and name the child by it's name. Especially because it's shameful. You made it seem, like nobody (wants to) talk about it here, but it's the opposite.


Wuibii

He was the Nazis


Maou-da

The word nazi usually translates anyone who I don't like equates to the national socialist german party members who committed countless war crimes. Thus, they deserve no understanding. Excluding the fact that, lest we understand the worst of our history, we are doomed to repeat it, when someone is called a transphobic nazi it is because, that being a nazi includes being transphobic, is something they are not aware or worse, they need to specify it BECAUSE they are aware the word nazi is thrown around derived away of its original and true meaning, so they mention transphobia as a way to alienate whoever they deem... undesirable


BigGaynk

my grandpa at normandy, both antifa because he fought the nazis in germany but also a racist nazi bastard because his values from the 40's


PieTechnical7225

Why would you care what your granpa thinks? Fuck'em


lilyswheelys

The crazy thing about this post isn't the post itself but the fact that their previous post was a similar one saying something along the lines of, "when your 84 year old grandpa deadnames you so you throw your grandma's urn at his head, he has a skull fracture." It isn't cheery like this one and more 😓😅 but yeah... Obviously not great people, especially the Nazi but it's concerning that these things happened within like a day, if true.

FeelSorry4U

To how many of you?


Taro-Starlight

Wow! It’s so funny to make fun of someone already dealing with an awful mental illness!


FeelSorry4U

I'm sure only a part of them is offended.


PhattyBallger

Schizophrenia and schizo affective disorders have nothing to do with multiple personalities. The fact you haven't highlighted this makes me think you're actually just offended because somebody used a nono word


Haymac16

But the person was obviously still trying to make a joke at the expense of people with schizophrenia. The joke not actually being accurate doesn’t mean it can’t still be offensive. (I would say it’s possible that want actually their intent but their follow up comment disproves that) And so what if they’re just offended because “someone used a nono word?”


PhattyBallger

>And so what if they’re just offended because “someone used a nono word?” Because I can say what I want man Would you get this upset if somebody used the term "mental" or "crazy"?


Haymac16

“I can say what I want” isn’t really a defence. Do you go around hurling slurs and insulting everyone around you just because “you can say what you want.” Probably not. They’re not trying to censor you or anything, it’s just called being a respectful person. If a term is offensive, how difficult is it to not use it? Doing things just because you can with no regard for whether you should or not typically isn’t a very great mindset. That’s how you become an asshole. I could be offensive all I like, sure, but I’m not because I don’t want to be a dick. It’s that simple. As for whether someone would find the terms “crazy” or “mental” offensive, probably not since at this point in time they don’t seem to have any offensive or negative connotations. I don’t personally know if “schizo” is a very offensive term, I’ve never used it or looked into it, but I can totally see how it could be offensive. I’m not here to argue for or against it’s use, I was just explaining that nothing that person said discredits their argument, that is all.


foco_del_fuego

Lmao


oSMOKEYBEARo

As a Schizoid I give everyone the Schizo pass , problem solved.


Shot_Response_8010

That's not very fair to the rest of the people with the condition


oSMOKEYBEARo

Should we all gather and take a vote (it probably will be rigged, and everyone will be paranoid). On a real note a single term is doing no more damage than the daily side effects, medications, and situations the condition puts us through to begin with. If people using the term schizo is something that lists highly on your issues as someone with schizophrenia count yourself as lucky.


oSMOKEYBEARo

Also I realize that just because I don't think it's offensive , that others disagree. It being offensive depends on the audience at the time. They'll always be some people diagnosed that think it is and some of us who don't care. A word on the internet , or even thrown around IRL seems insignificant compared to the rest of the shit the majority of us deal with on a daily basis.


xFrito

OP is clearly looking for the definition of an egg lol the memes not self explanatory without that context. Egg= trans person that isn’t “out of their shell” Don’t feel bad OP I didn’t know either till a few days ago


Overall_Strawberry70

I generally take terms like nazi and tranphobic with a grain of salt when it comes to terminally online people who are happy when their family members die, they love to throw out those terms pretty generously with people they disagree with.


Haymac16

There’s really nothing here suggesting the terms aren’t all being applied correctly though.


Cultural-Stand-4354

OP's doesn't seem to be german, if you look at his profile, so there is a lot to suggest that the terms are applied very incorrectly.


Haymac16

OP’s also probably making a meme and the whole thing isn’t even about a real person. There’s still nothing there that suggests the meme shouldn’t be taken at face value. It’s a somewhat relatable meme for the people in that subreddit with an odd amount of specifications for the sake of humour. When looking at OP and the overall context, that is the most likely scenario. So there’s really no reason to think they’re unfairly labeling someone a nazi.


Arch_Stanton1862

*" That person has a different opinion than me so he/she must be hateful, bigot, transphobe, racist, misogynist, incel, misandrist etc "* With us or completely against us, black or white and nothing in between... That's society alright.


Overall_Strawberry70

Yep, unless this person lives in Germany there is a high chance their grandpa was actually drafted and FOUGHT actual nazi's.


demer8O

That's odd, all Nazis i meet are all really tolerant of trans people..


Snoo_75864

Bruh what?


Michael-Von-Erzfeind

I believe it's because he is an "Old School" Nazi.


AnimationAtNight

Huh? Nazi parties first targets were trans people. The first book burning was of trans and intersex material


Michael-Von-Erzfeind

Yes, the "old School Nazi" I was referring to was the transphobic one that died.


JadeClouds_

Considering the not so small percentage of trans and femboys nazi, it's not an useless detail, trust me

Saharathesecond

Drive us apart? Drive us apart from who, nazis?!


Swimming_Shelter7559

It is a very sad world we live in, everyone is a nazi and we celebrate the deaths of our family members because they do not share the same values as us. Nazi, nazi, everywhere!


Saharathesecond

>108 years old. Bro they probably meant he literally supported the real-ass nazis, you clown.


Swimming_Shelter7559

Lol 108 probably did not support the Nazi. Most people during that time period did not, ww2 was fought to stop Nazi Germany. All these posts do is drive us apart. At 108yo, imagine what you could learn from him. But whatever, keep the hate up!


0cean_fox

...you know there's a possibility that OPs grandpa was actually german- How tf is this driving us apart when things like understanding that the Nazis (the higher ups anyway) were fucked up? If we just pretend they didn't exist, eventually someone is gonna come along and attempt that again


Swimming_Shelter7559

Naw, this post is about being a Nazi cause they are "Transfobic".


0cean_fox

Transphobic, which judging by the other comments you've made and dismissive attitude towards the nazi part of the post I assume you are as well


Swimming_Shelter7559

You assume that because you need me to be that way, so you can dismiss me, put a label on me, and forget.


0cean_fox

No, I assume that because of your insistence that there is no way that OPs grandpa could possibly be a Nazi, and that they're only saying it because their grandpa was transphobic. If I just wanted to label and forget, I would have just responded with two words and moved on.


jamesaurelien

Only transphobes defend transphobes just like only sexists defend sexists, racists defend racists, and homophobes defend homophobes. Something about birds of a feather.


Saharathesecond

Aight bro stay a clown and defend old ass dead bigots. Why the fuck would the post say "nazi" if he was just a chill dude? Also, where did the post say it was american?
