make sure you ask your trans/non binary friends what they do and don’t like to be called 😊 it can mean a lot, if your unaware

    gotta love the moderators removing every comment with a dissenting opinion but none of the replies

    you can have an opinion, fine. you can express your opinion, fine. you can ban someone when they’re being an asshole, by all means. but censoring any comments who disagree solely because they disagree regardless of their merit as part of a debate is what conservatives do. don’t stoop to their level.

      Eh nah, if you don’t think exactly the same way as I do, you’re a hateful asshole and need to be removed. Duh.

      Damn right, those woke liberal mods should let people be loud and proud about not respecting trans people who don’t wanna be called dude! Amen brother!

        Are you going to make me explain why people talking about their opinions on the word “dude” does not constitute bigotry?

          It actually kinda is when you’re doing so in direct response to a transfem person not wanting to be called dude tho

            There’s a difference between “I treat dude as a gender neutral term” and “I will not be respecting your direct request” though.

            One is an opinion, the other is a statement of intent. You can both treat dude as a gender neutral term in your daily life, and respect someone’s wish to not be referred to as dude. They are not mutually exclusive.

                How do you know they’re being chuds if all the comments are getting removed?

                that’s why I’m against this censorship of opinion. If people are bringing up valid points I’d like to let them. If they’re being transphobic I’d like to clown on them all the harder now that I know that for a fact, and I believe (or at least hope) that most other people in this thread feel the same way. This is one of the few issues where I completely trust the !196 community to self regulate and I’m a little saddened that the mods felt it necessary to step in.

                  Oh I saw those comments. There were a lot of blatantly transphobic assholes with no consideration for the feelings of people who might be hurt by it. Their “opinions” were shit and transphobic and needed to be removed because that’s what you do with blatantly hateful shit on the internet. You sound like a privileged asshole wanting that shit to stay so you can see and “clown” on it rather than removing it so trans people don’t have to see that bile splattered across their favorite trans friendly shitposting community. The comments here sure as fuck made my day worse, and I’m glad the mods got to them rather than let us own them with facts and logic in the marketplace of ideas or whatever the fuck you’re talking about
