Moderated Using wrong pronouns= violence??

People like that know better than to trust the cops.

Because you know in our society if someone says something that hurts your feelings you have the right to hit them. I'm sure the courts will back them up.

Hit them? **** it, say you were standing your ground and shoot them. Or say they looked too homeless and got too loud and strangle them to death. Or say they had a loose cigarette.

In many countries you can go to jail for insulting God so why not put people in prison here for calling you a he rather than a she.

You can be shot for being a black kid walking through his own neighborhood, so why not? Maybe a certain class of folks need to learn some fear.

Y'know, it's possible for more than one group of people to be thin-skinned snowflakes at the same time.

Going to death con 3 and making dire predictions about the impending justification of violence in response to misgendering because someone else is being a snowflake is very much unhinged and overly-sensitive behavior.

Put down the outrage pipe, Chicken Little. It's not good for you.

Who is going to teach them to be afraid? You?

And yes it's a terrible truth that black kids get shot all the time in their own neighborhoods by other black people for the simple crime of walking from point a to point b. Be great if we could put an end to that.

I said it before, but I can't wait for the Furries to get their turn. I wonder if their demands to be treated as the animals they feel themselves to be will be met with the ridicule they deserve or whether the "misgendering == violence" crowd will continue to tie themselves into knots over the right of preferred victim groups to override objective reality.

I hope it'll be a step too far for them but I don't take anything for granted anymore.

Be pretty easy to handle really. If someone truly believes they are actually a wolf and not a human, then thats fine. But a wolf can't read, write, hold a pen, use a computer etc. So if we must treat them as if they are ACTUALLY the animal they claim to be, then they can be denied entry to a university.

Totally different from transgenderism, unless you are claiming that a person of another gender cannot pursue higher education.

Do you have anything, anything at all to back up any of this other than wild imagination??? Any cases of a US court decision (in the 21st century), where they said its OK to use physical force in response to an insult?

Any cases of anyone being criminally prosecuted for using the wrong pronouns?

This is not going to happen. If there is a law passed that makes it a criminal offense in the use of pronouns will be very quickly struck down on freedom of speech issues. It'll be a 9-0 SCOTUS decision.

Also, police in the US are not known for being exactly left leaning. The odds of someone calling the police and reporting the "crime" of having the wrong pronouns used to refer to them is more likely to themselves be arrested for wasting police time than the person they accuse.

There are several municipalities that have made it an offense that can come with very heavy fines if you intentionally misgender someone.

That is the beginning. Especially now that we have snowflakes claiming that such statements are in fact an act of violence.
 
I'm pretty sure the people who think, or purport to think, that they are animals (otherkin, rather than furries) have already had their turn. It was called tumblr social justice.

I don't think it exists as much beyond an online phenomenon.

Way back in the early 90s I met a guy (at a Star Trek convention, I think? Maybe a comic book convention?) who told me he was an elf. He was part of an elf...tribe? Village? I dunno. He invited me to join his band of merry elves. Anyway, I accidentally spilled McDonald's orange drink all over him. He said it was ok, but I could tell it wasn't, and that's why I'm still a boring old human :(

Do you disagree with the ACLU and their neverending commitment to issues of Free Speech? Remember they defended the Nazis right to march in Illinois.

Eh, not so much anymore.

The organization, said its former director Ira Glasser, risks surrendering its original and unique mission in pursuit of progressive glory.

“There are a lot of organizations fighting eloquently for racial justice and immigrant rights,” Mr. Glasser said. “But there’s only one A.C.L.U. that is a content-neutral defender of free speech. I fear we’re in danger of losing that.”

As I see it, the true thin-skinned snowflakes are the conservatives who are offended and triggered by *checks notes* the existence of pronouns.

huh.

For some reason, appeals to common sense don't fill me with confidence in this day and age.

Surely you can do better than that straw, can't you?

Ah, so what you mean is that everyone you disagree with needs to get a thicker skin, while you continue to flip out and cry wolf and the end of the world over every little comment.

Someone said something you don't like. Grow up and get over it.

WHAT straw? There's a poster in this very thread railing against pronouns.

Nobody is railing against the existence of pronouns, as you claimed. That's never been the issue. And apparently you can't do better even with a second chance.

No, childish uber-sensitive snowflakes need to grow thicker skin. There's a difference.
