Word Match VI: free for all, [game over] Chomps and Arctic matched on feet

[katze]

@Arete

although the fact that katze is, uh, openly doing it as a bit is Not Ideal, I see the argument for wiping them in katze’s case

i cannot BELIEVE the cruelty the mods are putting me through right now /s

no but fr i did just explain it is not Literally Just A Bit so

(also hi chleb i am acknowledging ive seen your post, i don’t personally care nearly enough to make a whole thread about this and i am generally uninterested in continuing the conversation as i think i’ve said everything that would need to be said, and really am only replying because i think it’s funny to correct arete in this specific scenario)

@katze

if in actuality my preferred pronouns are the absence of them then what are my preferred pronouns for the sake of this box? i think you could make a good faith argument that “katze” isn’t really the appropriate input there, and i would be blatantly lying if i said it wasn’t set to that partially because i think it’s funny, but like… what’s the alternative?

should i set my pronouns to “no pronouns”? i think that looks clunky

nothing? or “none”?
it’s not a title or a cosmetic so it doesn’t matter if it looks clunky

[Arctic]

also it is a bit because kat wants to see ho w many times they can put “katze” in their profile on whatever mafia site they play on cuz they have the same thing in every field on MU including “location” but i wouldnt be able to prove this in a court of law so this is my closing point

@katze

i think word match 7 will be a game where arctic matches people to a set of pronouns and the staff will unassign pronouns from anyone whose pronouns differ to what pronouns arctic decided fits them arbitrarily as they are fake by his word

I’m choosing not to comprehend this conversation and am instead opting to acknowledge whatever the rest of the conversation is (as a whole) with this image.

You may choose how to interpret this response.

Okay so I skimmed it and I’m choosing to interpret the discussion as ​ ​ ​ ​​ stating that ​​ ​ ​ ​ do(es) not like being referred to by any means.

Im personally in favor of allowing more leniency with pronouns i dont think queer people policing queer people makes a ton of sense. Although i guess the counterargument is that it becomes subjective to draw the line between “freeing the pronoun” and randoms joining fol and setting transphobic pronouns. There was one person who set transphobic and racist pronouns once. My solution is to allow only us who know each other well to have whatever pronoun we want and be strict only to newcomers i think thats very fair

Well also if the pronouns field is free-for-all it’s just a second undertitle which is not what the field is supposed to be for

[tutuu]

the undertitle cant be changed by regular users so maybe there is a desire in some to write whatever you want next to your name which not everyone can. allowing ppl to change undertitle could be a compromise, or just like give arctic whatever undertitle he wants

[tutuu]

i mean you can change it but you cant write something custom in it

It’s a Patreon reward. Give us fucking money

i wouldnt write joke pronouns here but my discord pronouns are dumb/ass and if someone would think thats in bad taste then ok i wouldnt wanna hang out w them anyway (tangentially related)

[soweli]

I mean the delineation of “put anything in the pronouns field so long as it expresses what pronouns you want to be used” works in 99% of cases including the current one (give or take some legalese about pronoun being ‘thing that is used when pronouns would be used (which includes pronouns)’)

[ImaginaryNeon]

I don’t have money

[Ash]

Does Patreon take pounds of flesh in lieu of money?

[ImaginaryNeon]

too skinny for that
