Also accuses us of getting "offended at anyone, for any reason." Literally indistinguishable from a chud.

Popped into the blahaj thread about it and...

CW: transphobia

Ally moment.

[-] Rom@hexbear.net 55 points 10 months ago

It's the doubling down that's the worst part. The misgendering honestly wouldn't be that big of a deal if they would just apologize and fix their behavior after being corrected. We get it, mistakes happen. Like in the original case that triggered this conversation the user was using a client that doesn't show our pronouns, so they defaulted to "they" instead of the user's listed "she/her". A completely understandable error. But when they get politely corrected and their response is "ugh you Hexbears getting offended is not a good look" or "actshually 'bro' is gender neutral because I say so" then fuck you you're not an ally if you turn into a reactionary the moment you get scratched.

"my most feminine of ladies" is actually a gender neutral address, because you could technically say that to anyone, and language is not prescriptive ok, and and

akshually language is a social construct so only an illogical simpleton would take umbrage to the use of a simple word very-smart

You don't even have to admit what you did was wrong just say sorry, if this hurts you I'll stop doing it. Even if you think bro is gender neutral to you, you don't need to double down.

Hello opinions are a bit split whether someone minds being called bro or dude if used in the casual slang sense. You can give that as your reason but like just not do it afterwards to them, and maybe stick to only using it with people you know personally in the first place. A trans friend of mine decided a ways back that 'bro' is misgendering and 'bruh' is gender neutral, I'm in punk rock circles where 80s slang is still in circulation and 'dude' is so ubiquitous its list all meaning, but at the same time if someone doesn't like it, we don't call them that, it's just being a decent person.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
