    This whole shit reads like simulation theory but for liberals scratched by trans comrades. They are a breath and a half from ‘we’re all NPCs here so your gender shouldn’t and doesn’t matter to me’.

    geordi-no Gender is a myth because it’s made up

    Tbh honest when online gender is just a myth everyone is just a typing bot no one is actually whatever gender they think they are and stupidly everyone who judged you on those comments is either didn’t know the whole point of the Fediverse or has forgotten, because one of the main reasons that founds the whole existence of this place is anonymity from companies earning money selling our data, the fediverse is an escape from the company greed therefore there’s no he or she we’re all equals here and it’s valid to say " the man, the legend… as it is to say way to go sis… " as we’re all just free anonymous accounts as should be and we need to delete the gender concept maybe starting with using gender neutral terms online until everyone’s comfortable with the idea because to be banned or have your account deleted for misgendering another user is just crazy and defeats the whole fediverse concept.

    This person isn’t just transphobic, they are also apparently full stop-phobic as well, based on this massive run-on sentence.

    I saw that thread and it was incredibly stupid. “Of course I need to call you a man, the reddit meme that I dare not tweak at all says so! I can’t just say woman or say something original!”

    Says everyone should default to gender neutral language online and uses that as a reason why it’s okay to not use gender neutral language online.

    That’s… certainly a take

      It’s like a reverse marshmallow test, you can accept your mistake and apologize immediately, which feels bad for a second, or you can dig in your heels in an attempt to avoid that second and feel bad indefinitely instead.

      It’s absurd! A simple apology does a lot more than a chud-esque explanation and revision of events. If you have already offended people, explaining why you offended them is not going to fix it. Just apologize and sit the fuck down!

    I hereby offer anime avatars an apology. AI avatars produce a whole new level of cringe I didn’t know was even possible.

  • Jesus, appreciate these comments. I couldn’t even parse the argument this clown is trying to make. I legit thought I might be having a stroke trying to follow the thought, because it’s ~80% word salad. I weep for the people this person emails if they have an email job.

      The word salad is mostly due to them starting to realize they are wrong and don’t know how to make it right without being on the “losing end” of the discussion. A simple apology means they lost an argument on the internet, which your average redditor cannot accept.

      Instead they will go into a lengthy nonsensical explanation that eventually ends in the victim of their transgression being wrong.

    “Get everyone to use gender neutral language”, as though that isn’t a potentially much bigger reach than getting people to respect binary sex where it’s manually specified in fairly straightforward language

    People shit themselves at a they/them…
