  • How do you see the world differently to them? Go ahead, say it

    • How?

      Let’s see… I don’t throw temper tantrums when people downvote me. That’s one difference. I also don’t give a shit what people online think about me enough to whine that people disagreeing with me. And lastly, there’s little I find less important than what method someone uses to type shit on an Internet forum.

      • Very convenient how you skirt around why people are actually downvoting the person saying you shouldn't misgender people. When the way people "see the world differently than you" is that they think trans people's identities don't deserve respect, they're not owed a respectful response

        • Very convenient how you completely ignore my entire point that they’re a petty troll with a modlog to prove it- they’re here browbeating people because of their choice in apps- and that I couldn’t care less what they’re arguing for, or against.

          Now- considering that I have explained this to you once already, it’s now safe to assume that you’re just trying to manufacture an argument here. However, I’m a mature adult and I don’t play little debate-troll games with people.

          • Nothing screams mature like one or two dozen comments dogpiling someone who corrected what looked like super blatant misgendering. Why is it so important to dogpile somebody who corrected misgendering? Why not just move on like a normal person and not act like downvoting someone for pointing out misgendering isn't weird?

            In the off chance you're not arguing in bad faith here, seriously what's the point of this? Somebody corrected some misgendering that looked blatant and pointed, and didn't even have that strong a reaction to it, and you and like 20 others downvoted and dogpiled them for it. Why? And it started before lemmy apps were even brought up, so that's not it. If you or anyone else who downvoted think trans people deserve respect, why are you spending so much energy punishing someone for respecting a trans person's pronouns? Explain how downvoting someone into oblivion for correcting misgendering does anything good for trans rights

            • lol…Since you appear to be unwilling to address the topic of a discussion after I’ve explained it to you several times, and are only able to attack the shit-tier straw man you’ve created, I’m left to assume that you’re purposefully trying to paint me as some anti-trans antagonist so you can report my comments/get me banned.

              I will say this one last time and mostly for the poor mods that now have to read through this stupid conversation:

              I AM ONLY POINTING OUT THE RIDICULOUSNESS OF GATEKEEPING APPS BASED ON THR ABILITY TO SEE PEOPLES NAMES. AND THAT THEIR COMENT HISTORY IS RIFE WITH REMOVALS AND BANS- INDICATING THEY ARE A TROLL.

              NOTHING IN MY COMMENT HAS ANYTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH TRANSGENDERISM IN ANY CAPACITY.

              Lastly:

              You are defending this person WAY to aggressively, makes me wonder if one should look into wether or not you are a sock puppet account. Seeing as how you only popped in after they were banned…. Curious, don’t you think?

              • "I AM ONLY POINTING OUT THE RIDICULOUSNESS OF GATEKEEPING APPS BASED ON THR ABILITY TO SEE PEOPLES NAMES. AND THAT THEIR COMENT HISTORY IS RIFE WITH REMOVALS AND BANS- INDICATING THEY ARE A TROLL." False. You and everyone else started on them before other apps were ever brought up, and I'll admit that was kinda silly for them to get upset about. But don't act like this is about that when it's very clearly not. And all you have to do to get comments removed or get banned is disagree with the mods of any major instance, like by saying trans people or Palestinians deserve rights on a .world comm or not liking fascism or the taliban on .ml. Doesn't mean shit about whether or not someone is a troll or a sock puppet, but go ahead and research it since they and I are living rent free in your head rn.

                "NOTHING IN MY COMMENT HAS ANYTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH TRANSGENDERISM IN ANY CAPACITY." Then how come people being misgendered is just a difference in opinion to you? Why did you get so upset about them just correcting a case of misgendering? If you're cool with trans people, surely you're cool with pointing out when somebody gets misgendered and won't freak out if somebody does

                "Who downvoted me? My words need to be respected" is a hell of a way to misconstrue somebody wondering why correcting a blatant case of misgendering got them shit tons of hate. Again, why the hate for that unless they're against respecting trans people? This isn't any more clever than when Nazis say "oh everyone is a Nazi to you" while flying a swastika. The fact that you think disrespect is the proper response to respecting trans people says a fucking lot about you and all the other cissies in these replies.

                Are you done? Or have you not gotten tired of defending and downplaying transphobic bullshit on the Internet?
