Probably a controversial opinion, but as long as LGBT people stop shouting their pronouns in my face and -demand- that I use them, I’m fine with whatever term they identify as, but don’t expect me to bend over backwards to please your salty attitude when not given god-like status just because said identity.
RESPECT, you give it to me, I’ll give it back.
This isn’t a relevant comment.
Is earned. Common courtesy should be a given.
They aren’t.
It’s called common courtesy.
Earned, not given, and you’re doing a bad job at getting it.
Aaah… PC culture, I remember a time when we literally did not care and most people went by “Mind your own business and I’ll mind mine”
If we ever get a world revamp it would be cool to have Stormwind turn into a multi-racial city. Having Lightforged draenei, kaldorei, worgen and humans all in one city should have an impactful change in the human’s society.
Having a lot of quests work around SW’s dynamics would be really nice.
No, it’s not PC culture. It’s just common decensy.
This isn’t relevant to the topic of this thread, and comes off as incredibly rude and ignorant. Why did you feel such a strong urge to denigrate LGBT-people that you wade into a thread about IC homphobia to type it out? What kind of knee-jerk reaction is that?
The ‘image’ of all LGBT-people being a cohesive group of rabid gender-police officers that will hunt you down if you don’t use the correct pronoun is getting old. Mostly, they’ll just be sad. When you intentionally put down someone else to upset them and make yourself feel bigger, that makes you a bully.
Do you think, just maybe, that if someone continually - and intentionally - used a wrong name and pronoun for you, it might get old? Even after you, politely, told them that this is not your name/pronoun and to please use the correct one. Do you think, eventually, you might get a bit ticked off? Especially if said person, on top, told you that you’ve got a ‘salty attitude’ and a ‘god-like status’.
RESPECT, you give it to me, I’ll give it back.
Literally earning negative respect at the moment.
TLDR: You seem upset. Someone call you boomer or something?
is a statement that cannot be preceded by:
If you were okay with it, then you would be okay with referring to a trans man as a man, or a trans man as a woman, or a non-binary person by they, he, or she (whichever they elect to use relative to their birth sex).
Gender dysphoria is a cruel and vile thing to suffer with, the feeling of being born in the wrong body, of feeling inadequate as a man or woman because you were born as the opposite, and it’s reinforced every time somebody accidentally or deliberately misgenders them.
So not adhering to the ‘demand’ as you so call it that a trans person being recognised as what they say they are is incredibly harmful, and a trans person should not have to jump through any hoops or match any criteria simply to be recognised for who they are.
You just hate to see it folks
Don’t wanna throw this off-topic, but that is one of my favourite films. I have to watch it every year.
I also remember a time when it was illegal to present same-sex relationships in a good light in schools (Section 28). You need only look across the pond and see “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”. The reality is that people “didn’t care” because it didn’t directly affect them or because others couldn’t openly discuss these topics without being subjected to some sort-of stigma.
Edit 2: And the irony is if you actually practiced what you have preached, you wouldn’t even be going out of your way to comment on issues that you seemingly neither care about, nor do they affect you.
Like, as much of a sucker for nostalgia I am, I prefer the society of today, where expression of one’s choices are accepted widely, rather than the society of the past, where issues were brushed under the rug like a dirty secret.
The vast majority don’t expect to be treated like gods, they expect to be treated like a human being. God dammit, I should be the last person to give lectures on decency but it literally doesn’t kill you to have manners.
If you don’t care then why not just accommodate the preferred pronouns bro? You really gonna cry like a baby snowflake because someone said “hey can you use her/she for me”? Big triggered baby crying his eyes out because someone made a reasonable request that takes no effort on your part?
wahhh wahh
Also don’t be a homophobe
If someone says " please my slime can you refer to me as [whatever term] " even if it’s weird to you it will take £0 to say yea OK I will call you that from now
You don’t need to do a 2 week rep grind to earn the use of that basic social convention I’m thinking
I am willing to bet that you have never encountered this in your life, and have instead based this on crude internet caricatures of LGBT people. Maybe on a 4chan board or Reddit sub.
I never thought I’d see the “conservatives confuse respect as meaning high esteem and respect as basic human decency, and so will say that people must earn the right to be treated with basic human dignity so long as they treat me with high esteem” meme coalesce into a human RPer and appear on this thread completely unbidden
Well… that’s a new argument.
Completely irrelevant mind, but still.
I’m just waiting for him to talk about helicopters.
Transphobe bingo is just one square and it’s for the One Joke and everybody loses when it’s said
I really hope he does claim he’s an attack helicopter, because I can actually accept that.
He’s a high-maintenance tool with very limited use and he seems like he can only function when he has two Adderall addicts inside of him.
Also attack helicopters can’t talk and don’t have human rights. So, y’know. It’s a win.
yeah but attack helicopters can actually be cool 
this dude’s just very lukewarm - not hot, not cool
10 dollars it’s just a weak troll who takes the amount of replies as proof we’re some triggered hivemind and he successfully got us or w/e
I just wish the americans stopped naming them/other weapons after native tribes.
It’s a bit on the nose considering all the genocide
Having checked, sadly even britain uses those names, which is dumb because Apache is a poor name for a helicopter but Longbow is a great one
