Edit: Don’t just downvote and run away, make your liberalism known. If you have an issue with either of these, please let them be known in the comments. C'mon, let's duke it out. :)

For the libs shouting "but muh anonymity", you should have zero issue using the "any pronoun" tag as you will be addressed with any pronouns regardless of whether or not you have it set. The point of having them sitewide is for everyone to use them to normalize explicitly stating one's pronouns as a means of not forcing trans people to request to be addressed with basic respect. The amount of pushback on a meaningful step toward trans inclusivity in this community is pretty fucking disheartening, not gonna lie.

Folks seem to be using the NSFW tag for the spoiler effect on memes, and while it's a funny use of it, it's causing the intended use of the NSFW tag to lose its value. This isn't r/WatchPeopleDie. Personally, I was exposed to that sort of content at a younger age and am desensitized to it now, but not everyone is like me in that regard and I'm probably more fucked up than I like to think for having been as exposed to it as I was. We currently don't have another way of tagging content, so please be considerate and put "[NSFL]" or content warnings in the title so people know they'll be looking at some heavy shit. Not a lot to ask. Please do not start ironically putting "[NSFL]" or other content warnings in the post title. You're more creative than that, I promise.

    A lot of cis people love saying ''trans rights'' until they're asked to show the tiniest bit of solidarity. How can we expect you to have our backs when you can't even be bothered to click a button?

    And I understand that many don't see it as being a big deal, but normalizing it really is. I've been to leftist spaces irl where I haven't felt safe sharing my pronouns because they didn't mention it so I had no idea if they were terfs or not. (At least one did turn out to be terf though ew but still) And accepting being misgendered in leftist spaces because I don't know if it's safe or not just fucking sucks.

    And I know it's different in anon online spaces, I'm not scared to share my pronouns here, but again it helps normalizing it. /end rant
