Because it's not actually about the pronouns. These people aren't actually angry about pronouns.

They're angry about trans and non-binary people. They're angry that people are growing to accept these people, who they do not think should be accepted. They are angry that a group they don't think is normal, is being accepted as normal.

I don't think it's even about that, they're angry because the want to be angry. The why doesn't matter, if the current right wing outrage du-jour had been... I dunno, left handed people rather than trans people, you'd see all the same people working themselves into a screaming tantrum if a game or movie had a left handed person in it.

Oh no, it's very much hatred. The same hatred they had for black or gay people.

Who the hell are you to say that I hate black and gay people? You're overgeneralizing a group, how much different are you in this case? Stop with that man, this is why we can't have actual debates.

The problem is you want to debate.

There's no debate. No one has to tolerate your intolerance.

Gay people exist. Trans people exist. Fin.

Stereotyping people and overgeneralizing things without actually debating your point is ridiculous. Grow up man.

For sure. And when there’s not enough people focused on trans people they’ll shift their focus to some other marginalized group to harass.

These limp dicked losers have literally nothing better to do but jerk each other off in their seedy racist forums and message boards.

And the "replaced white people". And the female leaders. If someone wants a taste, go through the Steam forums for the game. It's a complete deranged mess.

[-] Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Steam forums are the absolute bottom of the barrel for game discussion, maybe tied with 4chan.

Let's roll it back a bit. There's a bit of a difference between "accepted" and "tolerated". For the most part, the trans community is merely tolerated by the majority of the country.

I don't know what the point of your comment is.

Trans and non-binary people are becoming more accepted as normal over time. The people screaming about pronouns don't actually care about pronouns, they oppose that gradually growing acceptance.
