Looks like my account was banned/restricted for the above interaction, have already sent the mods on world an email asking if they'd be willing to reverse that. Had an episode of psychosis a few months ago where I did say some offensive stuff, (understandably) got a 3 month ban on .lol for that, so could see my account having been flagged.

I uh, I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect people to check others profiles to ensure we are correctly pronouning them… when making a throw away comment that is less than 10 words involving a ludicrously common saying. Jerboa does not show users pronouns. I could switch to an app that DOES show the pronouns, do any Lemmings have a recommendation for a free Lemmy mobile app that has that feature?

Edit: Edie chimed in, Jerboa does show pronouns. It's a formatting issue with mobile vs browser (She has them on individual text lines so they don't appear on mobile).

Was just going to respond to the user in question to let them know I wasn't purposefully trying to offend that individual, to discover I'm not able to post or make comments on world now, so figured I'd see what y'alls opinion on the matter is.

    Love it every time I see it. I wonder if the author knew they'd get a concept named after it. Sort of like the Bechdel test I guess

        The guys behind Penny Arcade are a bit of an enigma to me. I liked them when I was young, the I reread some of their comics and came to think of them as dicks, but at that point they themselves had also matured - or at least seems like they have.
        They were very 2000/2010's-core

            I haven't seen them in years, but I loved Loading Ready Run and they made a reality show together that was pretty good. I was an edgy teen and thought dickwolvves were funny. About 2 years ago I remembered penny arcade existed and checked them out again, I don't remember any of their comics which probably means they're not egregious. I looked into the dickwolf saga and jfc yikes-2
            I think they might just have learned to shut up, which is the best wee can hope for with most libs
