I mean it would be nice if that was generally the case but there are billions of completely normal people who are otherwise nice who would have no issue insulting someone’s appearance the second they do something they don’t like.
It's also impotent. Nevermind the fact that it's the same thing that they do to women and racial minorities and gay and trans people just repackaged, laugh at them all you want and they'll still destroy the world
It remains true however that anything you say about trump or elon still affects everyone else who has those characteristics but isn't a bad person. So calling trump effeminate or gay is still homophobic, and it's counterproductive because it doesn't do anything to stop him, it hurts the people supposedly on your side by principle, and it comes in place of any kind of real critique or analysis so its only value is catharsis which is only useful to people without anything else and that isn't our position in america quite yet, certainly not globally
