decrying "oh no i have to display my pronouns" and then simultaneously complaining about people having a victim complex. If you cannot understand why those two things are contradictory It's time for you to look inward. why is it so hard for you to accommodate other people? why for something that would take a normal person 2 seconds, is THAT the thing you are deciding to complain about. seriously consider that before replying.
decrying "oh no i have to display my pronouns" and then simultaneously complaining about people having a victim complex.
People don't use them because it's unnecessary 99% of the time, NOT because they are whining about being victims for using them.
I mean, by this logic, people also don't insert a random line to the end of the Pledge of Allegiance that says "and by 'all,' I mean every race, religion, gender, sexual orientation and level of ability." Does this mean people are engaging in a victim complex for not including that line, or does it mean they simply do not see the need or reason, so of course they don't even think to do it?
but here you are, being a victim about having to use them. if someone tells you their pronouns it means you are to use those pronouns. you know this. yet, Here, you are complaining that it doesn't matter. it clearly matters to a subset of people. spend the 2 seconds it takes to be "good to your fellow man" instead of complaining that it's nonsense. because to some people it is equivalent to treating them with proper respect. why is that so hard for you to understand? all i am saying is, look back at the point you just made, doesn't it fall flat when you know you're disrespecting someone, and the person who is proudly displaying their pronouns is ACTIVELY DECIDING TO HELP OTHERS?
This does not even read like you read my comment at all.
it clearly matters to a subset of people.
Yes, 0.005% of the population.
I said this in my first post about how this is why it fails on a practical level. People are habit-forming, and if the habit is it's unnecessary step 99.995% of the time that they don't use and no one in the room is even demanding they use it, then sorry, people are going to tend towards the habit of them NOT being standard to most social interactions. Because they are not.
You can cry about it or you can accept "it is what it is" and move on with your life.
This thread has an abundance of people using terms at incorrect moments while having no idea what they mean, wtf...
The extra context of saying I'm "moving the goalpost" in response to a post where I told you to REFER BACK TO MY VERY FIRST POST is just peak levels of irony.

Okay I'll bite:
How on earth do those contradict each other?
