I see no reason they can't identify themselves as being trans and then move on to discuss something else. We're talking about you deliberately misgendering them. They likely have moved on to discussing something else, but they've had to come back to the issue of their gender because you insisted on getting it wrong. Even that's just your own addition to the scenario; perhaps they haven't said anything because they're uncomfortable trying to correct you after you've deliberately misgendered them. I asked for a situation in which you would be justified in deliberately misgendering somebody instead of accepting their identity, knowing the impact that can have on their well-being. You've responded with a situation in which you accidentally misgendered somebody, then manufactured them going on and on about that mistake as an excuse to just disengage from the whole issue. That's not you deliberately misgendering them, meaning it's not an answer to the question I asked. If you can't come up with a scenario in which you feel you would be justified deliberately misgendering somebody? Welcome to the club of not being a transphobic nuggetwanker! "I can't think of such a scenario" is a perfectly valid answer to my challenge, though that comes with the caveat that you abandon your defense of Peterson by saying that (or, more accurately, if you can't come up with a scenario in which he feels justified deliberately misgendering somebody, though that's implicit in not being able to come up with your own scenario because you could have just copied his). SKARDAVNELNATE posted... Now I'm questioning how good of a friend they are to mix that up. I'm not here to judge how attentive you are to your friends. Just to come up with analogies that illustrate how absurd it is to cut somebody out of your life because they corrected you when you got a key part of their identity wrong. --- This is my signature.

What's so silly about it all is like... you don't have to "believe in" or like trans people to use the proper pronoun and name to their face. People fake being nice to people they would rather not have to deal with all the time for various reasons. It's a shame that this is something that you would even have to fake niceness with, but I'd say that's still preferable to being outright mean A significant amount of transphobia boils down to one of two things:
The former doesn't really apply here, the latter is just factually incorrect (based on the science as it currently stands, gender-affirming care yields better outcomes on average than rejecting the trans identity). This, though, I expect is neither, and is instead Skard being overly attached to his hypothetical first impression and jumping through whatever mental hoops he needs to to hold on to that. He seems to know better than to actively disparage trans people (though he lacks the capacity to recognize that people like Peterson are not so generous, and has tried to argue on prior occasions that things like transphobia and racism don't actually happen to any meaningful degree), so he's come up with a contrived way to avoid actually doing so while still clinging to his hypothetical first impression (that is, accidentally msigendering the person). This is why we get the strawman of "why would I want to talk to them if all they want to talk about is their gender identity?": He's unwilling to accept that he just made a mistake and needs to correct himself, so he's turned the other person into the issue. --- This is my signature.

They aren't being ostracized for being trans. They're being ostracized for their conduct in the conversation. "Their conduct in the conversation" being to identify themselves as being trans in response to you failing to realize it. So you're ostracizing them for not hiding their gender identity. Oh look! We're right back at the exact opposite of accepting them and therefore elevating their suicide risk. Funny how you keep trying to dodge that little piece of factual reality instead of trying to come up with a justification for disregarding it. SKARDAVNELNATE posted... https://www.dictionary.com/compare-words/proper%20noun-vs-pronoun Potato, potato. You'll notice I also used the term "deadnaming" in the discussion leading up to this, which was very deliberate because it all falls under the same umbrella: Accepting the gender identity of trans people includes both getting their name right and getting their gender right whenever using gendered language. If you really want to be that rigid about it: "This is my friend Bill, she's really good at soccer." "She? I'm a guy, dude." "*To yourself* (Guess I can't expect a quality conversation from Bill, I'd better just avoid her)" Oh hey that response looks just as stupid this way as in the first version. It's almost like the actual semantics of the situation didn't change at all. (Side note: this is an example of a situation in which you might use third-person pronouns to refer to somebody who's present, since for some reason you struggled to conceptualize that) --- This is my signature.

You would think that, if you think trans people can only talk about their pronouns. Where did I say that? SKARDAVNELNATE posted... I do think I can't expect a quality conversation from someone who makes that an issue. "Hi Bill!" "My name's not Bill. It's Jake." "*To yourself* (Guess I can't expect a quality conversation from Bill, I'd better just avoid him)" This is literally what you're proposing.

| adjl 05/02/24 8:28:27 PM #62 | Also worth noting: When I talk about "accepting trans people as their target gender" reducing their risk of suicide by half, that doesn't just mean using the right name/pronouns when interacting with them. Cutting all contact with them as soon as you learn that they're trans isn't some loophole that gets you out of doing anything more to accept them. Deliberately ostracizing people for being trans is exactly the opposite of accepting them and subsequently also increases their risk of suicide.
So I ask you again: In what situations is it so important that you deliberately reject a trans person's gender identity as to justify doubling their risk of suicide? --- This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. |

Also "child free" as a term isn't even negative. It's just a logical label for people who don't have children. It's doesn't make a value judgment. I'd argue that it's typically used with a value judgement attached, but that's mostly because using the term intrinsically compares being child-free to the alternative, rather than any inherent value attached to the term. It can also go either way. "We've been trying to get pregnant for two years but remain child-free" frames it as a negative. "We're able to go on more vacations because we're child-free" frames it as a positive. Basically, like "gluten-free," it's a positive for people that want/need to avoid gluten, and either negative of neutral for people that want or don't mind gluten. It all boils down to how you feel about the thing from which you are free. --- This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. |

By continuing to call him transphobic you assert that his feelings about trans people are a primary motivation for him. No. By calling him transphobic, I assert that he considers the well-being of trans people to be a lower priority than whatever reasons he has for deliberately misgendering them. This is what I mean by saying that there are varying degrees of transphobia: "I want to hurt trans people" is different from "I don't care that I'm hurting trans." They are, however, both transphobia, regardless of how strongly the person in question wants trans people to be hurt. SKARDAVNELNATE posted... To support the claim of transphobia it would be necessary to demonstrate that this is the intended outcome. If you know that a given outcome is likely to follow a given action, and you take that action, that means you're intentionally causing that outcome. It may not specifically be your goal, but you've accepted its association with your actions and decided whatever good your actions can achieve outweighs whatever harm might be associated with the outcome. You are responsible for the consequences of that decision and must justify the harms with the good you believe your actions can bring. Again, it doesn't matter how smart or important you think you are, nothing about what you think, say, or do will ever justify doubling somebody's risk of suicide. If you think otherwise, that is devaluing that person's life to a degree that cannot be described as anything less than hateful. Ergo, transphobia. But hey, you seem to think you (or Peterson) have a point. So I ask you: In what situations is deliberately misgendering a trans person so important that it justifies doubling their risk of suicide? What answer can you provide to this question without admitting that you (or Peterson) care more about your own worthless ego than the well-being of trans people at a conceptual level? --- This is my signature.

The trend in my area seems to be putting wealthy neighborhoods into poor areas for...reasons? IDK, it just seems odd seeing McMansions sprouting up next to the meth lab near where I grew up. Or putting expensive loft apartments less than a mile from where someone gets murdered at least once a week. That's just gentrification. Poor areas have cheaper housing, cheaper housing attracts less wealthy people like artists and quirkier small businesses that give the area interesting character, wealthier people start wanting to move in for that character, which creates an incentive to develop the area with higher-cost housing. What you're describing is a particularly aggressive example and may have skipped the "poor artists move in and make the neighbourhood interesting" step, but with the housing crisis, lots of developers are snapping up cheap land wherever they can and charging as much as they can get away with, getting away with significantly more than they otherwise might have been able to because of the low supply. Kyuubi4269 posted... Work needs doing everywhere and so everywhere needs to house minimum wage workers Pretty much. "If you live in a 15-minute city, but everyone staffing the businesses and services you use can't afford to live in it, you actually live in a theme park." The idea of "wealthy" and "poor" neighbourhoods the way America does them just doesn't work for designing a city. Sustainable city design entails designing neighbourhoods to be self-sufficient, and that means including a mix of businesses and housing such that people working in the area can live nearby. Otherwise, you need a ton of extra transportation infrastructure, whether that's public transit routes or roads with parking, and both are expensive (both in terms of direct costs and in terms of profitable land use). --- This is my signature.

I just saw a tiktok of a woman saying the term "child free" is offensive because it means it's like a negative to have kids. Imagine being so sensitive. Why do you careee. She compared it to other terms like "debt free" and "cancer free" saying we use it as positive and so saying childfree makes parenting seem like a negative. As somebody who enjoys bread, the term "gluten free" is offensive because it implies that gluten is a bad thing. It's almost like different people have different ideas of what sort of things and experiences they'd like to avoid and express negativity toward those experiences accordingly. --- This is my signature.

It shouldn't be, and it only is because certain groups insist on attacking queer rights such that it's necessary to defend against those attacks, but that's the simple reality of the matter.

You don't seem to know what transphobia is.adjl posted... deliberate deadnaming and misgendering is nothing more than a self-righteous circle jerk at the expense of the mental health of your victim. End of story. There are varying degrees of transphobia, certainly, and I'll happily concede that somebody who deliberately misgenders trans people in a handful of circumstances where they think it's a good idea is not as egregiously a transphobic nuggetwanker as somebody who does so because they want all trans people to go away, but they're still a transphobic nuggetwanker. Remember: accepting a trans person as their chosen gender reduces their risk of suicide by 50% (a substantial additive reduction, given that roughly 30% of people with gender dysphoria attempt suicide). It doesn't matter how smart or important you think you are, nothing about what you think, say, or do will ever justify doubling somebody's risk of suicide. Nothing. SKARDAVNELNATE posted...

His stance is that it depends on the situation. And that's transphobic. Full stop. Unless it's Twitter, deliberately deadnaming or misgendering somebody is transphobic (and it's only okay in Twitter's case because Twitter isn't a person and deadnaming it is just resisting Musk's absurd insistence on trying to force a new identity on it against whatever will it can be said to have). The only situation in which it is not is if you are a medical professional responsible for the well-being of the person in question and you have genuine cause to believe that their apparent gender dysphoria will be better served by not providing gender-affirming care, and even that situation is exceedingly rare because the vast majority of the body of research on the subject advises against being so antagonistic to anyone seeking gender-affirming care. In every other case - with no further exceptions - deliberate deadnaming and misgendering is nothing more than a self-righteous circle jerk at the expense of the mental health of your victim.

I think I'm missing something - is GameFAQs shutting down or just becoming less active? Fandom recently decreed that CE should get the LUE treatment (new accounts can't access it, any existing account that gets purg'd loses access to it), as well as that all "political discussion" (a term which they've done a very poor job of explaining) is now forbidden on every board except CE. They've also shut down the Sex and Sexuality board with little warning and no particular explanation except a vague ban on "hornyposting," as well as shutting down the Religion board with no explanation beyond "hardly anyone used it anyway." The general impression is that they're trying to stamp out all board traffic that isn't gaming-related in an effort to ensure that people who stumble across the site looking for gaming discussion aren't turned away by off-topic or offensive content, but given that it's really not possible to accidentally end up on a social board, that excuse doesn't really track. It might not be getting outright killed any time soon, but Fandom's recent direction seems to suggest that they want to change it up in ways that probably don't include us. --- This is my signature.

I still don't really get why the "forum" model of the internet died out. Nothing that's replaced it seems like an improvement to me, at least in terms of being able to find stuff. It's a combination of wikis and other social media formats, I'd say. As semi-permanent repositories of information, wikis generally work better than forums because they're organized somewhat logically instead of just by who felt like discussing the subject and when, plus they tend to be more reliably updated. Upvote-based social media platforms also work better than traditional forums for people that are just googling whatever question they have, since they can generally rely on the assumption that an answer with lots of upvotes (which will also show up higher in search results) is more likely to be correct (strictly speaking, that's fallacious, but most everyday questions don't actually need rigorous, logically-valid proofs of their answers). That lets them avoid having to sift through a whole thread to see if there were any major corrections or better answers, which is better for people that aren't looking to actively participate in a thread. On the social media side of things, it's a shift from sitting down and participating in a community to being able to casually peruse a feed of new content. For those who want to immerse themselves in a community and see its history and whatnot, that's a downgrade, but from the perspective of those that just want to kill a bit of time by checking in and see what's new/interesting, Reddit and Facebook both do a better job (the latter actively curating things according to perceived interests), and newer social media has continued that trend. It's become harder to find older/less popular conversations as a result, but most people aren't thinking about finding older/less popular conversations when they pull out their phones to kill a few minutes.

maybe i remember wrong but i don't think there's anything saying link doesn't stick around for a little bit to fix things up before he leaves. i'd imagine if you've done all the sidequests and have the masks that link would probably remember what he did to get the and could act accordingly, or even possibly get help from redeemed skull kid. It's not impossible, and the credits strongly imply that Anju's wedding happens despite not actually showing Kafei being there such that I'm sure everything works out in the long run, but it still just feels wrong to listen to them say "We will greet the morning together" and then say "jk I'm just gonna rewind time so none of this happened bye." They're greeting the morning together, and it's up to me to make sure they have a morning to greet, dammit. faramir77 posted... However, I have already obtained the one from completing the Deku Playground minigame on each of the three days, which I used to think was one of the toughest heart pieces in the game to get. I usually end up getting that one early simply because there's very little else to do in the first cycle if you know what you're doing. If the choice is between sitting around and waiting for the clock tower to open or bashing my head against the playground, I'll take the playground (though it is indeed much easier now than I remember it being as a kid. Funny how that works). --- This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. |

| adjl 04/27/24 9:56:47 PM #49 | There was one post in one of the feedback topics where he outright said "insult me if you want, but don't insult Fandom," and that just made me really sad. Nobody gets paid enough for that degree of corporate simping.
STEROLIZER posted... Hes an employee. Not the owner. He doesnt have authority to make sporadic changes on a dime or even respond and comment to some things. That's nice, but it still doesn't change that there's plenty of feedback, so your premise that there's nothing but insults or whatever is outright false. He's just also told everyone that their feedback is worthless, so there's really no room to suggest that people can be more constructive. --- This is my signature.

| adjl 04/27/24 11:54:26 AM #40 | The part where there's feedback. The official statement from the community manager is (paraphrased) "We're getting a lot of people saying that they're unhappy with the changes, which is exactly what we expected, but we're going to make absolutely no changes to our plans." There never was any intention of adjusting the plan based on feedback.

Provide feedback, not cowardly insults, and incoherent ranting There's plenty of feedback. He's outright said they're ignoring it. --- This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. |

| adjl 04/26/24 10:51:38 PM #3 | I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that there aren't many game developers looking at the GameFAQs message boards to help them track down exploits. That means discussing them is just going to result in more people using them and messing with others' fun until they get fixed.
