I’ve never actually heard or seen someone honor such a request online or IRL, and it would sound ridiculously stilted if they did. Where is Rumpelstiltskin’s coat? Rumpelstiltskin must have left it at the bar. Will someone please text Rumpelstiltskin and let Rumpelstiltskin know?
a lot of people are undecided on pronouns or dont want to be identified as one gender or the other for security reasons. i figure some agender people might be interested in the idea too.
some trans people also dont like the idea of being pressured to state pronouns.
the main goal of having mandatory pronouns listed to each name on hexbear is so that trans people arent singled out as the only people with listed pronouns, making it harder for transphobes to target individual people. in the larger fediverse it also makes it obvious that we’re all trans accepting commies which definitely makes people angry, and it is very funny.
The more pronouns you have, the cooler you are. Sorry, I don’t make the rules
It’s the default so I think it’s way overrepresented here
Should go back to that. Leave none as an option, but don’t leave a default.
I am no one
coupled with it being the default as mentioned, i think some people just adopt it as another layer of opsec
Best not to worry so much about it, I think.
Out of all the posts I’ve made on this site, I don’t think I’ve ever used a pronoun to reference another user. I haven’t noticed anyone use a pronoun to refer to me. It will probably just never come up, especially in real life.
But yeah, if the rare situation arises, just use the name.
