One of the only places on the internet that doesn't cowardly shove the pronouns onto a buried profile page where people can ignore them.

Yeah I don't get why other places do this lol.

Might as well just... not implement it if you're gonna hide it from 99% of the people, just because some chuddies are gonna froth from it.

Like, you can't have your cake and eat it.

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

They do it specifically for the chuddies. The point is to get the W from the lgbt crowd while ultimately making it a feature that is 100% ignorable. They don't mind that they froth from it so long as it doesn't result in them actively not using the site at all, and they're happy to keep using the site as long as it remains ignorable.

As usual it's performative action by rainbow capitalism.

Libs do this kinda both-sides crap and people still somehow believe that queer people are safe and protected under liberalism. 😐

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Libs get easily manipulated into believing things like pronouns shouldn't be visible for ???? reasons. Despite it being vastly nicer for anyone that isn't cis male. It's way nicer for women to actually have visibility compared to the "there are no women on the internet" mindset.

I feel like I've lost a sense when browsing other sites. it's valuable info on the perspective others are bringing to the table. I think it benefits the cis men also.

I think it benefits the cis men also.

"WHY DO US MANLY MEN BE FORCED TO PUT OUT OUR PRONOUNS JUST BECAUSE OF AN EXTREME MINORITY WHO CAN'T EVEN TELL WHAT GENDER THEY ARE?! PEOPLE CAN JUST ASSUME WE GO AS HE/HIM! MOST PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET ARE MEN ANYWAY. 😤😤💪💪"

Yeah we got a nice opportunity to run those types off the site when the pronouns were made essentially mandatory comfy

I wonder if, given how many liberals are TERFs, they don’t actually want to show pronouns visibly to push back on that “there are no women on the internet” mindset specifically because a trans woman’s “she/her” is the same as their “she/her”.
