• Facepunch Theme: Trannysparent

it's a portmantaux of transparent and tranny. There's no context other than yeah, it's transparent. It sucks as a joke, it sucks as a title, and it sucks because it's shitty drama bait slathered on the most decent FP CSS I've ever seen
Just because you don't find the joke funny doesn't mean it's drama bait. Also, honestly, getting upset over car enthusiasts calling their transmission a tranny comes off as entitled at best. The only drama bait I see here is people getting confrontational about a dad-joke tier pun.
I get that calling a trans person a "tranny" is offensive, and I can even kinda see why people are upset about this title, but anybody who gets upset when a car person refers to their transmission as a tranny is like, a level of sensitive that is only achievable through years of training
Dumb name aside, it's actually a pretty good theme. I've been doing some css learning and figured out how to mask background instead of overlaying a solid background on them. https://i.imgur.com/uyvebbv.png However masking is really fucky, if your one of the people who uses MS edge, there's no masking on that, just a hard cut.
it's good to take into consideration OP's history with shitstirring
Edge has <5% market share according to this site and on FP itself it's <70k. I don't think you should really worry about it in a theme context IMO.
Yeah gonna have to join the "awful name" party here.
Yeah, it's an bad name, doesn't mean it warrants derailing the thread. Okay, it offends you. Now what? It's not malicious, it's poor humor. I don't think there's anything anybody can do here for you.
He could change the name, maybe? Glasspunch? Literally anything that isn't a slur for no reason-punch? IDK I think casually insulting a minority with a slur in the title kinda does warrant derailing the thread. You wouldn't walk in to the 'Niggerpunch' theme thread and just not mention it.
I don't know if saying "it's not malicious" is 100% correct here, if someone made a theme named "niggerpunch" could you really call it non-malicious? OP knowingly made the decision to call his theme Trannysparent, I don't think he should be immune to criticism for his choice. By arguing that everyone who talks about it is just derailing the thread, it makes you look like you're defending OP's decision to call it that.
Getting legit and quality transparent UI is a fucking nightmare and this does it effectively
Crackerpunch
Oh come off it, tranny isn't nearly comparable to nigger. Anyway, this is the last post about this that I'm going to indulge, let a mod decide if it's allowed before this thread becomes solely about some dumb dad-joke. If it's not allowed; A+.
It's close.
So who's going to make faggotpunch
I'll give someone a diamond for making a rainbow themed facepunch
*, *::before, *::after, *:active, *:hover{     color: blue !important;     background: pink !important;     border-top-color: red !important;     border-right-color: yellow !important;     border-bottom-color: green !important;     border-left-color: purple !important;     outline-color: orange !important;     box-shadow: 0  0  0 white !important; } Best I could do
What part of the title is funny? Again, niggerpunch isn't a funny name for a dark theme. It's an awful, shitty joke, that is completely reasonable to hate.
You can harp on about how the title offends you - my condolences - but please don't sit there and try to insinuate that "tranny" is anything like the word that conditioned a population into treating my ancestors as property
Maybe just change it to avoid upsetting anyone. It's not like the title actually matters. cool looking theme though
ah yes i forgot how hating on minorities is okay as long as they're not black
I think hatred towards any minority is just about equally awful actually
My dude are you seriously-- with a straight face-- gonna sit here and try to tell me that using slurs is okay because you arbitrarily decided that it's marginally less bad than another slur?
Can i have a tier list of slurs? Good theme btw
Why am I not surprised that you're putting words in my mouth? I didn't say any of that. I just said you shouldn't compare the two. I wouldn't be offended and try to derail a thread over this hypothetical "niggerpunch" theme either, because I know the difference between discrimination and humor.
Good for you I guess? Our priorities are different, I call out stupid shit that enables hatred towards minorities wherever I see it, and that works just fine for me.
I was just joking lol
You've demonstrated that you don't, because when you're on the receiving end of this humor over and over for a long-ass time it becomes absolutely horrible and in no way at all resembles humor.
Just to chime in, you do know something can be both discrimination and an attempt at humor, right? Not to say that all humor that deals with delicate subjects is automatically discrimination - see that stupid pug case, for example. But that doesn't mean saying "it's just a joke" is automatically a "get out of jail free" card, either. Furthermore, what's even the joke here? "Haha I said a bad word"? There's no context for the 'pun'. It's like going up to a random woman walking a dog and shouting "hey bitch", then saying "lol I meant the dog, therefore you can't get mad, take a joke lol". It's not a joke, it's just being an asshole.
I can only assume that OP chose it because it will actually cause some kind of shitstorm. As myon posted, it's in their history, and I can attest to that
