Dismissed your reply for deadnaming in an article that explains exactly why not to do it. Get your shit together.

I’m not telling them they can’t be confused - I can’t make people read a short article, nor can I make them understand it. But if you claim you understand this issue and still refuse to honor it, even though you understand you’re being hurtful, you are by definition a douchebag.

I stan Apple, but I ain’t touching these things. One must draw the line somewhere.

I should have phrased it more specifically as: “you don’t get to tell historically marginalized groups how to feel about their continued oppression.”

True dat.

Nothing like doing zero research and then getting called out for it, huh? Now you feel exactly like CDPR does. Be thankful that your ignorance didn’t actually injure anyone.

So people aren’t sending her seizure-inducing videos? How do you know? Oh, you’re just lying? Got it.

What the actual fuck are you talking about? There aren’t “two sides” here - one side is trying to physically harm people. The other side is not. Get your shit together.

If you’re defending deadnaming for any reason, you absolutely CAN eat shit. You’ve been told something is hurtful and just don’t care. Being that miserable is a very terrible way to live life. Be a better human.

I’m just deleting your replies from now on. Calm down, dawg.

They’re selling their actual preorders - you HAVE to have the receipt in order to claim it. It seems like you didn’t read any of the article at all, man. It’s not unenforceable - it’s dead easy to enforce. Can they catch every person doing this? Of course not. Literally no one made that claim.

It’s right in the article: “some are writing or messaging that they have Gamewoori pre-orders, showing their receipts with claim info as proof.”

I did. Literally no one accused people who mess this up of “hating trans people.” If you deadname on accident, you’ve committed an extremely hurtful but fixable mistake. That’s not the same as accusing you of being hateful.

Nope, I just actually experience empathy, unlike a lot of y’all. I pity you.

Yuck. Cold pizza is garbage.

That’s why the convention is to include multiple identifiers for a person of note in these situations: “Danny Lavery, co-founder of The Toast and current author of Slate’s ‘Dear Prudence’ advice column” for example.
If that doesn’t identify the person for you, then you probably weren’t familiar with them under their…

Nothing like setting up a total strawman to excuse your bad behavior.

Netflix has already announced that their casting won’t change in any way, so rest easy.

This is all pretty fucking simple. If you’re confused by it, you must have a LOT of trouble using public transit, or washing your hands - both of those are significantly more complicated.

You don’t get to tell people what they can and can’t be upset by, especially after you (theoretically) just read a whole article explaining exactly why it’s so hurtful. So by enforcing your own values, you’re declaring that other people’s actual pain is less valuable to you than the very tiny possibility of your…
