Yup, just the nutter doing it.
I feel like I'm missing something here
Why do people say they're crazy?
For context I have no idea who this "Empress" is
Transphobe who talks like a JRPG villain. Here's a rationalwiki article about her.
Ah that explains a lot and they do sound pretty unhinged
Thanks for the link
so why do you dispute the fact she is crazy? 😂 and why do you call her "they"? the word "empress" is pretty gender-clear.
“they” is fine to use for any individual or group as a catch-all.
so, your decision how to call someone is more important than the person's wish? really?
imagine that riot if it were the other way around...
They/them is gender neutral. People literally use it to avoid offending people by accidentally misgendering.
It's not like they went out of their way to say he or "they" to try and trigger people. She's also not here stating her "wish".
With all the actual assholes out there it's ignorant as fuck to be so reactionary on someone else's behalf when the person you're attacking is likely on the same side as you.
I'm sure there'd be no reaction at all if you called them they. Feel free to watch I guess since I did it.
At no point did I dispute the accusations, I simply asked out of curiosity why people say Empress is crazy.
As for why I referred to her as they, I honestly didn't notice that I did. I typically use gender neutral terms when referring to people simply out of habit.
