In a stunning twist that has sent shockwaves through the fragile ecosystem of right-wing talk radio, renowned conservative host, Chad Thundercock – a man whose name alone could curdle milk – has legally changed his name to 'They/Themself/AvocadoToast'. This comes after weeks of vehemently mocking the use of gender-neutral pronouns, culminating in a now-infamous on-air rant where he described them as 'the ramblings of woke lunatics and soy-boy communists'.
Sources close to Thundercock – or, should we say, They/Themself/AvocadoToast – reveal that the name change was a direct response to the overwhelming backlash he received following his pronouncements. Apparently, the sheer volume of angry emails, tweets, and death threats (mostly from people misspelling 'AvocadoToast') proved too much for the hardened conservative to bear. Instead of doubling down on his bigotry, he seems to have embraced a radical form of self-expression, perhaps inadvertently proving the very point he so vehemently opposed.
"It's about reclaiming the narrative," a source whispered, clutching a kale smoothie. "He's using the language of the 'woke mob' to...well, we're not entirely sure what he's doing, but it's definitely something. Maybe it's performance art? Or maybe he just really likes avocado toast. It’s hard to say with this guy."
Legal experts are baffled, citing the case as a potential precedent for future self-expression through ironic appropriation of progressive terminology. One lawyer, a self-proclaimed "gender-fluid, intersectional, ethically-sourced chai latte enthusiast," commented, "This is...unexpected. I mean, the sheer audacity! It's almost...brilliant. In a deeply, deeply disturbing sort of way."
Meanwhile, They/Themself/AvocadoToast remains silent, presumably busy perfecting their sourdough starter and crafting a meticulously-worded tweet about the evils of gluten-free bread. Stay tuned for further updates, as this story continues to unfold like a particularly bizarre episode of 'The Real Housewives of Fox News'.
