I’ve been waiting until after Christmas day to make this post, but some of our communities recently have had a lot of noise and upset over someone that uses neopronouns that most people are unfamiliar with.
So I want to make this clear. A persons pronouns are to be respected. This is true when the user is using neopronouns that you’re unfamiliar with. It’s true even if you think someone is trolling. Pronouns are not rewards for good behaviour. They aren’t only to be respected when you like the person you’re interacting with, or if their pronouns “make sense” to you. Trolls, spammers, twitter users, it doesn’t matter who they are, your options are to respect their pronouns, or to not engage with them.
I really want to re-iterate the importance of this. Gender diverse folk are undermined, invalidated and questioned at every step of our lives. As a community, we need to be working to undo that, not creating more of it, and that means there is no space for treating pronouns (including neopronouns) as a reward for good behaviour.
This isn’t a free reign for trolls and spammers. The rules still apply. Trolling, spamming, etc will continue to be dealt with, but it’s not an excuse to act as if respecting someones pronouns is optional.
Someone ought to kill this evil witch, who does she assume she is to try to make us walk on eggshells or silence us for not saying precisely what she wants us to say. Everyone who kisses up to her is a piece of shit too, but she’s worse because she limits people and controls the instance.
Oh and all you dipshits who say it’s her right have an instance, it is also inside our right to attack or destroy it. Just like we are able to burn down a corner store and kill or run the owner out of town if he is a bit of human trash. Ada is a piece of human garbage and needs to be run out of the fediverse, or permanently eliminated. She is evil and her girlfriend is too.
Vigilante justice is valid and badly needed on the fediverse.
Oh and one more thing, I don’t respect your authority to ban me, if this was your store or home I’d kick the door in and beat you to death like the withered hag you are.
