Well I did feel bad about pirating Agatha All Along but not anymore.
Never feel bad about pirating, son!
Come on 😮💨
She's very obviously a woman, don't call her "son."
Why tf am I getting downvoted? What's wrong with people?
I mean I know a dude whose initials are KD[last initial]. He doesn't like his feminine first name, so he started going by Katie. KD. He just can't win.
Yes, but you can clearly see a woman in her profile pic, combined with a girl's name, on a trans instance, and if any of that gives you pause enough to check her profile, you'll find it says, "sapphic. hater of capital letters. bunny and cat mum." Just because some random guy somewhere goes by KD does not make it ok to misgender someone who is very obviously a woman.
Whoever downvoted this, come out and say it my face, coward. Fuck transphobes.
I can't recall ever seeing a single profile pic on Lemmy. Even when clicking on a username, all I see are posts, no profile. I honestly didn't even know there was a profile to edit. I'm primarily on Voyager.
No downvotes from me; just adding my experience to the conversation.
Anyone browsing on most mobile Lemmy apps does not see profile pics btw, so people might be downvoting because "she's very obviously a woman" is in fact not at all obvious to mobile users.
I did not downvote btw. Am using Eternity Lemmy client.
There's still the username. And the proper response to that situation is, "Oh, oops, I didn't realize, let me edit my comment, thanks for bringing it to my attention."
If I can figure out a way to view who downvoted, I will be tagging them to call them out and name and shame. I find it completely inexcusable. If they didn't know they were in the wrong, they wouldn't be afraid to show their faces and explain themselves.
I really want to down vote you because of your aggressiveness and off topic ranting but I'll ask instead what about their username should tell me the user's gender?
Clearly, this must be a man 🤡🤡🤡
My app shows me cupcakezealot as the username. Must be a woman 🤡 🤡 🤡
Why the fuck are y'all using these shitty apps that don't display either profile pics or usernames properly? Literally worse functionality than just using a browser.
Don't get mad at me for your choice to use a shitty product that takes away basic functionality and causes you to be ignorant about people's identities.
"Um, actually, you're being unfair to people using text-only browsers."
No one is mad at you for the app they use. People are upset with your shitty behavior. No one that downvoted you did so because of transphobia or whatever bullshit reason you want to come up with. It's because you're a miserable keyboard warrior and likely troll.
"My shitty behavior," that is, calling out misgendering and transphobia. But it's definitely not transphobia that's motivating downvoters. Oh, and you know this how? None of them have come out to say their reasons, because they're transphobic cowards who don't want to get called out for it.
You'd better fucking believe I'm going to "aggressively" support trans people against you fucks.
Youre shitty behavior is doubling down on calling out the so called transphobia when it has been explained to you several times that many users don't see the same label you are seeing. You admitted that yourself. I'm telling you right now as a person who downvoted you why I did so. It's time to move along now troll.
And as I said, it's not my fault you're choosing to use shitty apps that take away basic functionality that everyone else can see.
Oh, interesting, because you said,
But I guess that was a fucking lie.
I ain't going nowhere. You better believe I'm gonna keep calling out your shit every time you reply. You don't like it, you can fuck off, transphobe.
There are real transphobes that are a serious threat to people and you diminish what it means to call people out on it when you use it toward every person you have a disagreement with. I started down voting when you avoided confronting facts. You're the only one who is mad about how apps function. No one has responded with the aggression that you have shown so far.
Who did i misgender? Youre calling me a transphobe because I asked a simple question and then explained my app doesn't show the same username that your does. You are showing senseless aggression.
Why do people on here act like defending something someone else said is somehow different from saying it yourself? You opened with saying you wanted to down vote me, and then called me a clown.
I still genuinely want to know why on earth, like completely unrelated to this, why you would choose to use an app that takes away basic functionality?
Let's not forget who started calling others a clown first. Why are you so certain I was aware my app didn't correctly display usernames? Who do you think here is defending transphobia? You haven't made a single case for anyone in this thread being transphobic. You made your mind up about who is transphobic before anyone displayed any transphobia.
Because you asked how you could possibly know someone who's username is "katy ✨" was a woman. That is clown shit.
Doubling down on misgendering is transphobic. It's fine if it's an honest mistake at first, but the correct response to being called out on it, or seeing someone else get called on it, is not to downvote, not to argue about it, but to say, "sorry, I didn't realize" and correct it.
But no, I'm sure that your motives for fighting me on this have nothing to do with transphobia, you're just fighting on it because, what was it again? I was "too aggressive" in calling out transphobia? I guess if people can say, "I'm not fascist, I'm just anti-anti-fascism," then your version is, "I'm not transphobic, I'm just anti-anti transphobia." My sincerest apologies for not making the distinction.
Again, you know that several users don't see the same username. You know you have no proof of transphobia occurring here. To anyone who may have followed this thread this far, I apologize for feeding this troll for so long. I hope no one here truly believes you are an ally of the trans community. Baselessly calling people transphobes will do far more harm than good for those you are so desperately pretending to be an ally of. Congrats on being my first blocked user after 2 years of using lemmy.
That's where you're wrong, the proof is in the fact that you're still fighting me over calling out misgendering even now. You could've backed down at any time.
Not surprised a transphobe is blocking someone for calling out transphobia.
Yeah, OK, blocking you. You are just toxic and hurting whatever your goals are.
I did vot you down and I'm also the guy who started all this.
You're not wrong. You're just an asshole. That's why people vote you down.
Then edit your comment.
You're trying to own me by intentionally misgendering some other random person. I hope you feel good about yourself. All you're doing is proving my assumption about you correct and vindicating me. You showed me everything I did here was 100% correct and justified and I would do it again.
💖💖🥺
