Comment on Does Hexbear mandate all users to specify their preferred pronouns?
ekky43@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months agoWere talking pronouns as part of the sign up process.
@qyron@sopuli.xyz says that @qyron@sopuli.xyz would rather like to be tagged and be part of the conversation, instead of having people talk behind @qyron@sopuli.xyz’s back.
It’s likely meant to be seen as a witty remark, and not a statement. :)

Why is being witty the default stance, instead as an honest statement?

Because what you said doesn’t make any sense if you were being serious.

Writing out a person’s full name/tag every time you reference them is not practical (see my previous comment), so one wouldn’t give this as reason against third person references in a serious discussion.

So it’s easier to say thoim/shlu instead of ekky?

If the genesis of the entire issue with chosen pronouns is about basic respect, personal convinience can take a back seat and we can adress a person by name.
But then again, I’m often viewed as petty in my personal peeves.
Better to just not talk about someone and instead just talk with the person.

Really think hard about what you are saying. Next time you have a conversation, try mentioning no one else except the person you are talking to and yourself.

Id rather you just stop talking altogether
