Your argument is for the people of the rainbow, my argument is for everyone
Dumb. Ass.
Boy that thread is a doozy.
Everyone means "everyone that isn't political or that is visible in a way that makes me feel uncomfortable"
That Chaos user catching a ban makes my fucking day. I almost said something to them this morning but figured it wasn't worth another wall of text from them trying to wax poetic about how displaying your pronouns is somehow a security risk.

There's "everyone," which means "normal" people, then there's "rainbow people."
The hits keep coming!
Bad bot. You don't even understand the context of the discussion here.
From a living animated fedora named "ToucheGoodSir:"
What percentage of the populace do you think knows what the transgender flag looks like? :|
Noo, it is an honest question. I'm a digital native, been to a decent amount of gay bars, even worked as security for pride in my city this year. Have probably seen the flag, have never had it come up that "yep this is the flag for the trans community". Outside of Hamburgerland where transgenderism has become so politicized, huge press X to doubt people know what that flag is. Most folks on the planet are Indian, Chinese, or in an Islamic country of some sort. Now do tell, dear blakeus12. How do all of those cultures treat LGBTQ+ people :| if it was a question of how many people in the US recognized the flag, different story.

you can take the redditor out of reddit and drop them into the lemmyverse, but you can never take the reddit out of the redditor
"Digital native" means a jagoff that really bought into the techbro propaganda and is so alienated that they call the living breathing offline world "meatspace" and other euphoric shit like that.
But on Lemmy I'm fairly certain the demographic is at least 80% male in the same way there's an over-representation of Linux users. If you assume a user is male you're going to be right the vast majority of the time. It's not sexism it's statistically a reasonable guess.
I didn't say or imply anything about behavior. Just that merely having the assumption is not sexist. I didn't even say people should have that assumption, just that it's statistically reasonable which it is. Your comment here does more to chase people away than what I said. Now I see why a lot of people block hexbear.
Just stop using gender specific pronouns at all. Makes things much simpler
Know what else makes things much simpler?
ShowEvergreen lib trap. I am pleased to inform all Hexbears that you must adopt one additional set of neopronouns in order to properly boil the blood of every Lemmitor you encounter. The hivemind commands!
If you don't know just use gender neutral pronouns, not hard
Some of them claimed to do that but then had paragraphs of rage against posted pronouns.
Lmao I've interacted with plenty of hexbear users but this comment takes the cake as one of the most unhinged, off the wall comments I've ever read.
Congrats for being on lemmy for years, but that has nothing to do with anything said here, nor does pronoun preference.
It's no wonder you all need to travel in packs. Without your fellow cult-like cosplayers manipulating the discussion with your blatant falsehoods and fabrications, you'd find zero support and be all alone and on display as the charlatans that you are.
When the enemy is both too strong and too weak, traveling in packs and also all alone!
ShowI think it's related to that "anon" shit on chan boards. It's supposedly some magic mask that permits everything from bigotry and snuff/gore clips to hate crimes (except arbitrary rules like "pastel colored cartoon horses forbidden!")

Suddenly there's... This
Looking at threads like this and hugely appreciating our mods and admins. Being grateful that they keep fucking losers like that off of here.
I don't venture out into the fediverse from Hexbear hardly at all, but god does it feel so good every time I see our posters dunking on bazinga brains lmaoo
When a smug enlightened centrist nonpolitical gentlesir of facts and reason wanders too close to Hexbear and expects Adult In The Room status to blow those tankies away with Facts and Reason:
Show
So we could train ourselves on vast numbers of smug "why did they ever leave Reddit anyway" Reddit-tier liberals that circlejerk about the "hivemind" here being both too strong and too weak.

Hexbear is "AI" confirmed.
I don't honestly understand the rage with pronouns, I would've made an apology and go by the proper pronouns shown if I was that er/lemmitor and move on instead of raging about it. Or just not use a gendered noun but what do I know anymore?
That would require a hint of humility, acknowledgement of other people that are different yet still valid, and the willingness to change for the better rather than dig in and wage culture war.
