They called me a transphobe, again, based on the previous shadow ban for asserting that "dude" is not a gendered term. And all they could back it up with are hypotheticals about an isolated comment I made years ago.

Poop that woman in jail!

And also, what a terrible UI! It looks like someone put a bunch of div tags in a jar and shook them around!

suppose someone asked not to be called dude?

If someone directly asked me to stop calling them that, I would. I'm not a monster.

If you're referring to my comment and my ban, no one was called dude who asked to not be called dude. The comment was a top-level response to a non-blahaj thread, that IIRC was someone asking how others approach modern day social or professional situations, where the varying gender pronouns of a larger group may be unknown.

The intention of my comment was to encourage being sensitive and modern, but also suggesting that being getting lost in nuance is silly. Whether I communicated that sentiment clearly and sensitively is subjective.

i wasn't but i'm mildly amused they banned you for that but don't ban chasers on the non-piefed blahaj.
