Why is that boy thread in the gaming section? Is using boys something only gamers do?

[Tektonic]

I really liked Xenoblade 1 and XBX was something I ended up really liking in the end.

XB2 was awful. I really don't understand the fandom around it. But I chalk it up to just not being from this generation of anime/Japanese game fans.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is an action role-playing game developed by Monolith Soft and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch video game console.

Comparing providing handicapped access ramps to not using the word "guys" to describe a group of people; a Finale Fireworker post:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/using-boys-to-speak-to-everyone-really-needs-to-stop-and-this-is-why.105159/post-18822469

I unfortunately don’t have a lot of time so I just want to hone in on this part specifically. This isn’t to say the rest of your post doesn’t matter. Normally I prefer not to selectively quote but I hope you’ll forgive me in the interest of time.

I think that this mathematical approach to compassion is self-defeating. Somebody shouldn’t have to be a majority (or near-majority) population for their feelings to matter.

Consider how many places you go to with handicap accessible parking spaces, bathrooms, and access ramps. These accommodations make it so people with difficulty walking can go to the same places you can, feel welcome in their own society, and not be rendered invisible by those without disabilities. This ensures the 30.6 million Americans with permanent mobility disabilities are able to live more comfortably alongside everyone else. These are all good things, no?

These 30.6 million people in wheelchairs or with walkers matter. They have worth and feelings and value. They also make up less than 1% of the United States.

So if we let statistics decide how compassionate we are or aren’t, we would decide these people don’t matter. We would decide it’s not worth it to make minor concessions to accommodate them. We would decide it wasn’t fair for the other 99% of the population to have to give up some parking spaces or use a ramp instead of steps.

Motivation to be kind and respectful to others shouldn’t be extrinsic. You shouldn’t seek external justification to be considerate. It’s a personal decision you have to make for yourself.

I think accepting other people for who they are and how they want to be seen and addressed has innate value that doesn’t need to be rationalized. Using ungendered language is a free, easy thing you can do to be kind and respectful to other people. It contributes to an environment where male identity is not the societal default and benefits gender equality. It supports self-expression and recognition of identity. It lets the people who care about these things know you see them and you think their feelings matter.

Maybe for you it feels foreign and strange at first to have to say “everyone” or “folks” instead or “you guys.” But think of how foreign and strange gendered language can make some people feel all the time. If you could do something to change that, why wouldn’t you?

 

Literally comparing trans people to the disabled. No wonder they are leaving that place in droves.

[BIONIC]

It would be great if we switch to “girls” instead. I’d start feeling very pretty

"Boy" also has some disgustingly racist connotations. Here in Texas, hearing a group referred to as "boys" is extremely rare, though. Y'all rolls off the tongue here.

Oh fuck off, the thread is about "let's go boys" collective not Sheriff J. W. Pepper

[HaughtyFrank]

I'll happily refer to any diverse group with neutral expressions but that he wants everyone to preemptively never use "boys"is what grinds my balls.

If someone in a hype thread posts "Let's go boys!!" It's not even referring to anyone specific. It's just an expression

Best thing about OP is just calling their spade a spade

I was hoping that Primethius's thread would hopefully bring the issue to Nintendo's attention with enough outrage. But to my surprise, unlike the Mr. Game & Watch issue, nothing was done.

When reading this I could only think about how digitalop could have stretched this out a lot more. Also why is he referring to the store lady as just that? Give her a name, a character. Where is the sexual tension? I felt nothing.

It's a women's only store, you are in the dressing room area where you aren't supposed to be...

... how is this so confusing?

That's pretty sexist though.

So reset would have a problem with men who are interested in “woman’s” clothes? Are they not allowed to shop and try things on at Charlotte Russe?

Pogi used to write careposts that were just as long

Yeah, but at least those were fun to read. Reading someones One Piece x Arc fanfiction isn't legalese/grammar nazi-school marm.

And yet that One Piece x Arc fanfiction is getting more attention than any of my careposts ever did 

You know what to do.

So?

Unless you are a woman or transgender woman, stay out of the woman's dressing room. You had no right to be in there. Your gf is an adult, she can pick her own clothing.

What is wrong with this post that would prompt these reactions to it?

You were doing so well until the end.

Returning to this, I love how he throws out 30.6 million to show how huge the number of disabled people is to show how important it is, then says the "less than 1%" to make that number once again be really small.

The end message is "In every 1% of the population, there is actually 10% of the population. So don't neglect that 1%, because they're actually 10%."

Yes it does, and that includes the women who have yet to start hormone therapy or still retain some vestiges of male appearance.  By agreeing that appearance alone is enough to have a person who looks like a man removed from a supposedly women’s only store you are advocating for the erasure of the myriad transgender imdividuals who exist in the process of transitioning.

Captain Marvel was okay. But Alita was a much better film with vastly better action.

Typical reset- follow the corporate drone white women superhero movie with a bland story instead of going for the PoC Auteur Robert Rodriguez's android coming of age masterpiece, with a PoC lead and a beautiful story and even more beautiful action.

Not to mention produced by women's rights icon James Cameron

[BlueTsunami]
