Preface: To avoid the usual suspects I want to start out by saying that you are not being shamed for your purchase of Cyberpunk 2077. If you feel slightly bad about buying the game as a result of...

For the cissies out there: you’re not a bad person for buying / playing this game if you didn’t know.

That last sentence was entirely there to accommodate cis fragility. :cissues:

Go read that post. The game is bad.

        You can seethe all you want and I agree with you on all of the points. You are cool and good and you don't have to fight imaginary enemies on this website. They don't exist.

            You are doing good work educating people, thank you for that. I don't think any of the comments that you've linked are transphobic though. People need to be educated and you linked good examples of how one can do that. This thread is not a good example of educating people because "FRAGILE CISSIES" is not education.

              fragile cissies isn't education. it's a call out of a pattern of behavior that goes back for several months on this site. people want to assume that cis is the natural default and get mad when that notion gets challenged in even subtle ways, like with the pronoun tags. it's not "I want to murder trans people", it's "just stop reminding me trans people exist".

                “just stop reminding me trans people exist”

                I'm sorry but I just don't see that in comments that you've linked. As for the larger pattern of behaviour we could certainly do better, but that's beside the point.

                You don't have as much enemies on the website as you think you do and I disagree with methods that you've picked for trying to educate people and change this larger pattern. I don't believe in negative reinforcement in general and your comments are antagonistic when they simply don't need to be. This isn't how I would educate allies, especially people that are already open to being educated.

                  1. tone policing sucks ass

                  2. notice that I've only replied to people who are already on my side with the cis fragility stuff. if you have a problem with me venting to allies, I'm sorry but I just don't care what you think.

              you're reading tone instead of content. polite defense of cissexism is still transphobic, even when it's not of the "murder trans people" variety.

                you’re reading tone instead of content

                That's super true. I find that many struggles are not between the opinions that are displayed but rather the tone they are displayed in or the words that are used.

                  this true but civility policing is libshit, especially when it's directed at marginalized comrades. civility protects the status quo and the status quo is quite transphobic.
