Sure, I suppose. And that state of affairs won’t change if more women who might be able to put up some resistance don’t join. Maybe not your 14 year old cousin who’s in the middle of a major depressive episode but it’s not like all women will have a psychotic break when they are confronted with idiots. I can deal with it fine and I’m not exactly a paramount of mental health.

What is it instead? (And yes obviously what I said is a grotesquely exaggerated version of the situation as I understand it.)

I’m saying you should expect people to be like that.

“There are no people here so I tell people not to come here.”

Do you see the issue?

Ich find auch diese Mode, “Aktionen” direkt neben “Angeboten” zu bewerben furchtbar. Was soll das heißen, “Aktionspreis”?

It seems unlikely that you think that internet slang is commonly found in conventional books of the past “few thousand years” or even that you think that there simply must be a recent book using this specific feature of internet slang - suggesting that you have some ulterior motive in asking the question. But okay: Do you think that internet slang is commonly found in conventional books of the past “few thousand years” or that there simply must be a recent book using this specific feature of internet slang?

You realise that “/s” is barely old enough to drink in some US states, yeah? How about you just say what you’re trying to say instead of asking cryptic questions?

You must realise that your pronouns are highly unusual and will cause confusion in people who aren’t aware of them, no?

I’m not telling you to stop using them, do whatever the fuck you like, but maybe keep in mind that the more unusual your language, the harder to understand you are - especially when seeing your posts for the first time. No, that’s no reason to harass you or anything, I’m just saying that, when people react negatively to your posts, the cause is most likely simple confusion.

Unrelated to the topic: news media used to get someone to translate their shit for them so there wouldn’t be ambiguity about what the source says. I fucking hate that it’s now okay to rely on machine translation and hope for the best. I will not credit them here for noticing that something wasn’t entirely clear in their translation, that’s the bare minimum.

I mean, arguably, conditions permitting, you don’t necessarily need to be an actual, full fledged member of anything to participate. But in any case, yes, please do, we need new blood.

And here I thought kanji compounds made no sense because they were adapted from Chinese with little regard to their meaning but apparently hanzi are just as wild.

Alright, have a nice day.

It is becoming difficult to keep assuming you’re not being intentionally obtuse.

Imagine a big burly person with a big beard who is read by most people as “man” entering a bathroom labelled “women” - because that’s the “relevant” one for their genitals. Do you really think there wouldn’t be SOME sort of reaction?

Why does this look and sound exactly like clickbait?

Stevie Martin! 🤩

You probably mean well but you absolutely cannot tell me you never ever use pronouns. Language doesn’t work like that.

And we haven’t even started talking about the Bathroom Issue.

The fact that you’re not aware how frequently gendered language is used may not be your fault but it is a result of your privilege.
