Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Some people aren't necessarily trans but don't feel they fit gendered pronouns. I generally try to abide by their wishes because it doesn't matter to me why, just that I be respectful to people the way I'd want them to be respectful to me. But people sure do use pronouns like that and it's not just trans people either. I don't care what people identify as. That's not any of my business. But it costs me nothing to respect their choice.

Yes of course, Im not trying to invalidate genderneutral pronouns. If someone wishes to be adressed in a certain way replacing the words him/her, sure. But 'I' is not a gendered pronoun (at least to my understanding). Its the single universal word used to talk about oneself in the 1st person, isnt it? It is genderneutral already, so why would you feel the need to replace that?

You're right. Words like "I" are gender neutral.

For that reason, speaking in the third person like Bot is doing doesn't make sense to me (as a trans person myself). I can't think of any motive for someone to want others to constantly refer to them in the third person... Except for one, but it's controversial in some communities haha.

Looking at Bot's comment history, they only decided to speak in the third person today, while the rest of their account's comments are written normally. Do with that information what you will.

In the case of that specific user, I'd recommend just blocking/filtering and moving on. Not worth it.

Whoever's behind that account has been creating accounts with a new name and different set of neo pronouns whenever the latest account gets banned.
