This started a genuine argument over on blahaj. Some crank got mad that a ban message for their overt trolling did not capitalize their pronouns... which they demand because they explicitly claim divine superiority to all other users. Would you believe they're also a diagnosed narcissist?
The admin swooped right in and shut that down. By silencing all of that crank's critics, and deleting the thread, and the follow-up thread, and the 'dude what the fuck' follow-up thread. And officially admonishing the mod who'd dared to write 'screw this douchebag' instead of 'screw this Douchebag.'
Oh look, that crank is further down in this thread.
This would be merely silly if not for the obvious question 'where is the limit?' and the admin answering 'there isn't one.' Their chosen example was some trans author doing the "attack helicopter" thing, but sincerely. And they threatened consequences for anyone who did not respect and type that slur. That's categorically not what pronouns are. Just... what the fuck.
There cannot be bigotry in treating someone as human.
