I feel like we have one try-hard troll that is a flat zero out of ten every damn time she tries. Someone should take her under their wing. Apprentice her. Teach her the ways.

(Anonymous) 2013-11-19 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
I'd normally take the troll apprentice but I think, in this case, there is no hope for this one.

I cannot teach this one.

Because dudes obviously don't exist in fandom, and noodly and omen don't count.

Or case or dethtoll or - oh who is that one, he's a transformers fan...

there are plenty of dudes here! (I admit I default anons to female in my head, but I take care never to do it in writing because I don't like people misgendering me either)

Re: excuse you

Eh, Fandomsecrets is just one of those rare internet places where assuming "she" is probably more accurate than assuming "he."

I mean, I have no horse in this race, but it's not a big leap.

Re: excuse you

[personal profile] diet_poison 2013-11-19 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
no, that's true, but

I don't really think it's ok to use "he" by default in other places so I try to avoid doing the opposite here

Re: excuse you

(Anonymous) 2013-11-19 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
Going on no other information than "active on F!S", I believe "female" is the best guess.

I'm not aware of any additional statistics on the demigraphics of trolls, far less inept trolling.

dammit, demographics

probably statistically best guess but it is not that hard to write "they" instead of "she" if you are not sure

Re: excuse you

(Anonymous) 2013-11-19 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
Singular they still rubs a lot of English teachers wrong.

so write "he/she" if it bothers you. or "ze" works too - I tend to think that one sounds pretentious so I don't use it, but you can if you want.

DA

I feel kinda bad for not liking zie, hir, etc. All of the gender neutral prounouns I've seen sound so ridiculous so I don't use them. However if I met anyone who wanted to be referred by any of those, I would. I wouldn't want to be an asshole just because I dislike a few words.

Re: excuse you

(Anonymous) 2013-11-19 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
I hate that shit too. He/she is what I usually use when in doubt.

Re: excuse you

(Anonymous) 2013-11-19 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
Ayrt

I use singular they. I don't mind using it and by using it, I'm less likely to get dogpiled than if I used he/she. I've seen people get dogpiled for using she/he so I'm hesitant to use it. I really wish that there were gender neutral pronouns that didn't sound so ridiculous.

Re: excuse you

(Anonymous) 2013-11-19 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
"They" is a regular english pronouns. Why does it sound ridiculous to you?

Re: excuse you

(Anonymous) 2013-11-20 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
Ayrt

They doesn't sound ridiculous. Meant to say that I wish there were more gender neutral pronouns than just they. Ones that don't sound ridiculous like the ones people are coming up with.

Hm, yeah, true. I've never met anyone who insists on using those pronouns over "they" though.

Re: excuse you

(Anonymous) 2013-11-19 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
I know what you mean, even if I don't teach English. That said I usually just type s/he or him/her.

Re: excuse you

(Anonymous) 2013-11-19 03:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not a native speaker and I was taught to use singular "they" by my teachers, including nativce speakers.

Re: excuse you

(Anonymous) 2013-11-19 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
This. We're even encouraged to use this in our coursework & papers at university.

there are no men on the internet
