Being Gendered Correctly

[Shioban]

Agreed. Come on, guys. Let's act like men, not children.

Acting like children would be complaining over;

"They called my character he/she, but I idenfity as he/she/other THIS OFFENDS ME SOMEHOW!"

Which this entire thread has proven sadly.

Let's treat every player like a brother!

You are off to a great start with your first four posts, leaving a wonderful impression.

Aaand... SAFE. Phew.

People gang up on my friend to tell her her feelings are irrelevant, and i responded to that simply saying I probably wouldn't enjoy talking to this person.

these people accuse my friend of being overly sensitive, yet I am apparently being such a jerk in saying I don't really like talking to someone because they are being mean and have opposing viewpoints?

If not liking someone makes me a jerk, what does telling someone who's expressed being hurt by insensitive behavior, that her feelings are irrelevant and a burden on everyone else, make those people?

I'm not a mean person. I do not subscribe to this culture of believing apathy is cool, that's all

To whoever said "use they instead he/she to be correct"... as a non english-speaker i honestly had no idea you could "they" to refer a singular person o.o

I've been frustrated reading the stupidity of some people (now i'm sure OP is a troll, or worse, someone who can't accept than people maybe don't have to agree with him/her/it/whatever)... I showed this thread to my parents, just to see the reaction from someone outside FFXIV and its community

Do you know their answer? "Who cares? IS JUST A GAME"

At this rate i'm gonna start to talk like Sylphs... "The walking one"...

...

No, wait, that can be offensive too....

My character name is a female name. My character is female. Yet I still get people calling me "he" in chat every time.

I know I'm probably stoking the fire here, but good lord. do people like this actually exist?

I whole-heartedly agree with you. But as they say, one man's meat is another man's poison.

Have you learned nothing in this thread? It should be "One they's meat is another they's poison."

Have you learned nothing? They're talking about pronouns to avoid gendering entirely, so it'd be "They they's meat is another they's poison"

I don't get it..

What's the original poster's biological gender? That's all that matters.
