The good faith reading: Frank Castle is cool with trans people. The Punisher will brutally murder an evil-doer but will respect their pronouns as he lets an storm of lead and fire.
The bad faith reading: I am a CHUD and I am trans?
I don’t know what to think.
Shoutout to the trans comrades and the punishers who respect their dignity
didn't edgy skull guy kill pigs?
i don't know, i don't superhero
Sometimes
Depends
Usually when he does, it's the writer being like "Look how unhinged he is, he's killing Real Heroes™!"
I did appreciate the story arc where he got a cop to quit and become a social worker though, rather bleak otherwise
I kind of find the Punisher interesting because more than any other fictional character I can think of (even beyond comics), he is an expression of what the author thinks of the world, more than he is his own character -- "Frank Castle" is more of a set-up for future action than he is a fleshed out personality, pure background details to justify his competence in violent situations. Basically the author picks out whoever they think are the worst, most vile motherfuckers on the entire planet of earth, and then they have the Punisher kill the shit out of them as catharsis.
forget all the background story behind the Punisher, he's a fictional comic book character owned by a mega corporation, his intentions can be manipulated anyway the CEOs and writers want. The whole thing about the Punisher is that he is a white male vigilante that wears a cool bodysuit with a big skull and shoots bigass guns, yeah it's a CHUD magnet.
Oh! Oh!! Maybe!
I have a t-shirt with this on it. The creator of the Punisher had this contest where comic creators made a bunch of t-shirts of that logo as kind of like a take it back from cops and militiamen deal and that one was a tribute to Marsha P Johnson.

The right aligned themselves with supervillains long ago with the Joker and Patrick Bateman (kinda surprised they never invoked Frieza). We get to have edgy vengeful anti-heroes. :adventure-time: incarnate.
So Julian is one of the hosts of the Q Anon Anonymous podcast, and believe it or not they have had a trans punisher skull almost identical to this sticker as an emote in the discord since I joined many months ago
The Punisher But He's Trans is the only future Marvel movie I'm ok with.
please stop doxing comrades and compromising their infosec. take down this photograph of my freaking sick ride at once
Why isn't the punisher our guy?
Our whole thing is well...punishing criminals, right? Including the ones with good publicity.
