Where is anyone not respecting someone’s pronouns? Changing neopronouns in fic to they/them isn’t transphobic or denying anyone their pronouns. And if I encountered someone who chose those as their pronouns then of course I’d use them. But I never have. I’ve literally only seen a few pickme girls use them and usually in place of someone’s chosen pronouns of they/them.

Pick me is about women throwing other women under the bus in favor of men's approval or attention, not someone using pronouns you find cringe.

Not necessarily. The usage has broadened to mean "person who acts against the interests of their own (typically marginalized) group in the hope of obtaining majority favour" (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pick-me) based on context.

You're describing, specifically, a "pick-me girl" in the context of sexism which isn't what AYRT said and isn't what the thread is about.

Hopefully your response here is not "but words mean things and shouldn't change" in a thread about neopronouns, but the irony would be funny.

You are in the right but you are arguing with trolls. Save your blood pressure and scroll on by.

Fictional characters aren't real people, friendo.

Fictional characters are not real people. HTH.

Do you also think it's okay to call Black characters the N-word because they aren't real?

(Anonymous) 2024-03-23 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
That's a ridiculous comparison.

If the story calls for it. Are you one of those people who wants to ban Huck Finn because it's an accurate and in-character story of a specific time period? Blazing Saddles should be censored for using a word you don't like? Rap doesn't count as an art form?

Story-telling is about the human experience, and some of those experiences are not nice. Putting psychobable in them doesn't make them better stories, it just glosses over the humanity.

Where on the astral plane did the neopronoun-using gender-queer touch you?
