What in the fuck? I can’t even imagine doing this to my kid even as a joke. It’s weird. You people are fucking weird.
Also: Everyone knows the 2-5 year old boy is going to be the loudest of all the family members. Me and my brother would not shut the fuck up at that age, bless my mom.
… revenge porn?
Hey! So they DO know a joke other than that ONE transphobic one.
Imagine a Peace on Earth card which has a photo of a pile of dead white men and assault rifles
Oh I get it! The signs say “Peace on Earth” because the women have tape over their mouths, and everyone knows women are always talking and gossiping. Hahah. Very droll.
Ladies gonna lady, amirite? [Vomits in back of mouth]
Getting one of these in the mail certainly would make me rethink my friend list. And my mailing address. And maybe my life choices in general.
My guess is that you’ll never get one.
Source: my cousins always sent me a Christmas (not holiday) card every year, until one year they didn’t. I happened to see it up on the wall because we went to a different cousin’s home for the annual Christmas (not holiday) extended family celebration that year, and that’s how I discovered that they’d dressed up their LAWN JOCKEY in a favorite football team’s jersey to match the ones they were all wearing for their group shot.
They knew not to send it to me. If you have people like this in your life, they know. They’re not as innocently ignorant as they pretend to be.
And sometimes, they think that YOU are the unreasonable asshole for thinking racist (or whatever bigoted thing they’re doing) shit is offensive, rather than just some lighthearted joke… Like, YOU’RE the bad guy for not buying into their bigoted worldview… 
The few occasions I’ve had the misfortune of having a meal with people like this, things would honestly have been a lot more peaceful if the men had been the bound and gagged ones.
Everybody calm down. It’s a joke. “Women and girls need to shut up.”
That’s it. That’s the joke.
Hilarious.
Perhaps next year, in addition to bound and gagged women and girls, these “true christians” could add some chained black people being whipped, some latinos with large mustaches and sombreros taking a nap and, I don’t know, some guy dressed as a Hasid with a cartoonishly large nose hoarding money. That would really boost the comedy.
/s <— this means I was being sarcastic
… we can’t even mock it without sounding like assholes, it’s beyond irony or sarcasm
It’s fully inside some kind of Asshole Event Horizon
Yeah. I couldn’t tell if the sarcasm was because all of those other horrible examples already do exist or…?
Anyone else remember when the most uncomfortable x-mas card family pics were those ugly sweaters and ugly pajamas?
As we cleaned out my wife’s old homeplace, we have discovered many absolutely horrifying “gag” cards (originally, gag as in joke. Now, gag as in puke.) stashed away in many drawers. I cannot believe people once thought these were funny! Racism-as-humor is not edgy, it’s 1930’s.
Unfortunately, as a time traveler, Andrew Dice Clay seemingly would’ve found a receptive audience throughout all of US history.
I had never seen this “tradition” before. Pardon the choice of words, but I’m speechless. This is supposed to be…funny? I’m dumbfounded, truly.
Edit: I tried to Google this for more information about why this is a thing and where it comes from but I didn’t find anything. Turns out people with tape over their mouths is a very common stock photo so all you get is heavily-SEOed stock photo sites trying to sell you said photos.
the earliest reference i found with a quick search was 2015. the family said they copied one they saw on pinterest which wasn’t named.
i wonder if it spread from there maybe just to “own the libs”
in one article the photographer was quoted as saying
the photographer posted a response on Facebook, defending the photo. “I would like to say that as a female I do NOT and have never promoted violence to women!”
i’m glad that got cleared up 
Hmmm. The photographer may have never promoted violence to women, but she certainly did a little bit of promoting violence against women with those “jokey” pics.
It’s always extra sad when women participate in their own oppression. It’s a good reminder that women are raised in the same toxic society that creates sexist men, thus can be just as sexist and misogynistic.
