(Anonymous) 2024-03-23 12:05 am (UTC)(link)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.

(Anonymous) 2024-03-23 03:46 am (UTC)(link)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.
