Darcy Vescio has an announcement

[kruddler]

Interesting you use that term "play", that is part of my point, the game being played by politically motived activists that applies immense pressure to their peers.

From the other perspective, whatever Darcy personally thinks of some pronoun places zero obligation on me or any other commentator, it's completely untenable for 7 billion people all to have a custom label. Some will just have to put up with having a label they do not like, and choosing an obscure label that doesn't match your outward appearance just sets you up for a world of pain. Having a position of privilege doesn't change that, Darcy's solution is untenable for 99.9999% of people, it is a solution for the privileged!

It's equally likely for some individuals to take offense at being labelled "them or they", rather than "her or she", this is were the absurdity of the request is exposed, it implies "we" like all share Darcy's opinion!

The word 'play' was deliberate, because you seem to think this is simply a game and forget peoples lives are being affected by this.

No, it doesn't mean you have to listen to Darcy's wishes. It also doesn't mean you have to be arrogant enough to ignore them for.....whatever half-ar$ed reason you seem to want to come up with.
The effect her request has on you (and others)......negligible.
The effect your ignorance has on Darcy (and specifically others)....much more damning.


Look, you do what you want, but you seem to be doing it for spite from where i sit and i don't get why.
