How is world pro US?

And that’s why he’s all over Lemmy.

I’d just like to say it’s not for you to arbitrarily decide how language works. There is already an accepted standard for referring to someone who doesn’t fit the gender binary, and any reasonable person would consider referring to someone as “they” to be perfectly acceptable.

As I said in my other comment, I’m just going to watch the drama from now on, I suspect there will be a lot of it.

Lemmy loves to hate the guy, unfortunately.

Drag is playing you like a fiddle, and you’re too busy fighting to see it.

At this point, I’m just going to stand back and watch, I’ve tried to help.

I definitely think so, and they’re incredibly good at it, too. The mods and admins are well and truly dancing to their tune.

Are there actually people other than the dragon using neopronouns on this site? I thought it was just one person with a bunch of alts.

Definitely has star wars vibes.

I’ll admit, the neopronoun thing in general is where I stop taking someone seriously.

Gender neutral pronouns are fine, and I fully support using them, but deciding words that have been used to refer to a person, or group, of non specific gender for generations are now offensive is very presumptuous.

Even if it’s done in good faith, you’re trying to change language by command, and that’s just not how that works.

Just say dragonfucker, you sound like a fool doing the neopronoun thing.

They/them are genderless pronouns that can be applied to anyone, use them and stop feeding the troll.

It’s honestly quite impressive, they’ve got the mods and admins jumping though all kinds of hoops and sounding like absolute fools to avoid misgendering this individual.

I see. Yeah, that’s not happening.

It’s quite amazing the hoops they’ve got the mods and admins jumping through to play along.

The whole thing has frog people website vibes.

Let them be kings of an empty castle, I say.

A community is a collection of individuals, and nobody can own one. You can own and control the space where they gather, but the “community” fundamentally cannot be owned. Although it’s somewhat confusing when the term on Lemmy is community as well.

We saw something similar on Reddit, where bad moderation would empty out a sub, often almost overnight.

I give up.

Referring to someone by their chosen name isn’t misgendering someone.

Singer, the sewing machine company, manufactured model 1911 pistols during the second World War, among other products.

Hexbear would have to completely change who they are before that would be worthwhile.

“it’s their community, they can do what they want with it. Start your own if you disagree”

That is exactly what happened, to be fair. But nobody truly owns the community, it’s made of individuals who choose to gather there.

Is there any particular reason you can’t just call them dragonfucker?
