Oh, I know I’m right. I just have a duty as someone with actual knowledge on the subject to share it with the ignorant lol. I love it when they don’t believe the reality of the situation.

No worries! Let me extend this awkward handshake for joining me in the, “jokes that don’t land” category haha.

You used authorial intent here, for instance, and at several other points it’s been heavily implied by the use of the word intent.

And to respond to the question of your interpretation, I thought I would leave this in another comment since it would be its own thing and you could read it if you like or ignore it, since it’s fucking long lol (why I didn’t want to go into it).

You’re right about your examples, but also keep in mind the context of your examples.

I’m a cis-het dude, though I definitely appreciate that you took the effort to use gender-neutral pronouns without a clear idea of my identity. A little more thoughtfulness like that would go a long damn way in the world.

This is correct. Someone take this out of the grey.

Fair call--and I definitely see where the problem was, now.

...I’m a little embarrassed I wasn’t clearer.

While I can understand the connotative implication of the first sentence as related to the second paragraph, it’s important to remember that paragraphs contain distinct ideas; if I wanted to denotatively say, “Hey, we don’t have this in America,” I’d have kept the first sentence and the second paragraph together.

That…
