I understand your point of view more than most of the arguments I've seen against mandatory pronouns. So please take my comment as friendly, I'll do my best not to be a rude asshole.

How would you feel about (any) for your pronoun choice? That's functionally the same as not listing them, people can still choose which ones they want to use for you, but it still shows you're supportive of people prominently displaying their pronouns. That or you could consider maybe a neopronoun. I personally really like e/em/eir. They're nice and genderless, easy to use, and, bonus, a mathematician came up with them in like the '70s (I could have the year wrong and I refuse to look it up), not because he was trying to be trans inclusive, but because he hated that math books assumed their readers were all men and he wanted to include women in his writing. (Singular they was considered ungrammatical at that point.)

No, they don't. I personally know a cis person who has their pronouns on hexbear set as they/them or comrade/them. Those aren't the pronouns they use in real life.

If someone assumes you're trans simply because your pronouns are set to something other than she/her or he/him, that's kind of on them. People are allowed to lie on the internet. Choose any pronouns you like, it doesn't matter.

I personally assume absolutely nothing about the cisness or transness of someone with "any" or "none/use name" as their pronouns of choice.

Oh that looks so good!! I think I'll steal your wonderful idea and make something similar this weekend! A giant batch of saucy chickpeas is always a good idea!

Does "customize" not work? As in:

EndeavorOS KDE customization

This is the first time that I've tried to start customizing my system

There is a consensus in this community. Posts that use the racist term get removed when they're noticed by mods. You can check the mod log.

Hey, just so you know, "rice" is a racist term. You should remove it from your title and post body before a mod removes your post

I see you banned Cowbee for calling you out as a racist bigot in the other thread that you then locked, accusing them of racism in the process, for some reason.

Go ahead and ban me too, please, because I agree with them: you're a bigot and your issues with the modern gaming landscape arise from your bigotry

My person opinion is all politics, racial issues and gender identity should be left out of games and writers should create the stories that they want to create

I'm sorry, but this is a silly and contradictory opinion. For one thing, what if a writer wants to write a story about racism or gender? Should they be allowed to write the story they want to write, even though you consider it "political"? For another, games have been political since extremely early in the history of games. The original Deus Ex is from 2000 and most of its themes were explicitly political. Fallout: New Vegas has multiple gay characters and (through its super mutants) deals with issues of racial prejudice. I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream came out in 1996 and one of its main characters is a black woman.

What I've noticed about people who say they don't want "politics" in their games is that they really just want to play games with political messages they already agree with. There's no such thing as an apolitical work of art, and that applies to games too, unless you're saying games aren't (and shouldn't be) art?

Play the games you want to play, I don't give a shit. But don't make the mistake of thinking that games are "more political" than they used to be. They aren't.

Edit: Oh, you're the same person who was whining about Sweet Baby Inc a few days ago. I'm wasting my time talking to you. Have a good day

I'm saying that if sufficient infrastructure exists then it's fine to just ban SUVs entirely because they're not necessary.

I think I'm a big dumdum because I didn't realize until literally this comment that this is the other, better, non-carbrained solution. I was over here like "so what, you just want people with SUV's to decide of their own accord not to drive them into downtown because suddenly they realize they're bad people for doing so? Never gonna happen."

But now that I see your much better idea, simply ban all SUVs from Paris, I'm entirely on board! I do think that's going to be a harder law to pass than hiking parking fees, but it would definitely be a much better one!

Wait, you're bothered by someone saying Kevin Hart is a shitty comedian? Have I read this right? I hate to say it, but if that's enough for you to be mad at the ebil hexbears, you should really probably just keep us blocked
