Edit: Don’t just downvote and run away, make your liberalism known. If you have an issue with either of these, please let them be known in the comments. C'mon, let's duke it out. :)

For the libs shouting "but muh anonymity", you should have zero issue using the "any pronoun" tag as you will be addressed with any pronouns regardless of whether or not you have it set. The point of having them sitewide is for everyone to use them to normalize explicitly stating one's pronouns as a means of not forcing trans people to request to be addressed with basic respect. The amount of pushback on a meaningful step toward trans inclusivity in this community is pretty fucking disheartening, not gonna lie.

Folks seem to be using the NSFW tag for the spoiler effect on memes, and while it's a funny use of it, it's causing the intended use of the NSFW tag to lose its value. This isn't r/WatchPeopleDie. Personally, I was exposed to that sort of content at a younger age and am desensitized to it now, but not everyone is like me in that regard and I'm probably more fucked up than I like to think for having been as exposed to it as I was. We currently don't have another way of tagging content, so please be considerate and put "[NSFL]" or content warnings in the title so people know they'll be looking at some heavy shit. Not a lot to ask. Please do not start ironically putting "[NSFL]" or other content warnings in the post title. You're more creative than that, I promise.

      Okay. I agree that those struggles should be irrelevant in a classless society, but they're currently relevant in a classist society so now all of this becomes a matter of reducing human suffering and showing solidarity for each others struggles. Ya dig?

          Okay, but they should care because it's a simple thing they can do to reduce human suffering. Period. Lmfao

              what kind of leftism turns down solidarity with the oppressed (whatever their form) on the basis that some people might not understand until people's struggles are explained to them? we reduce the harm we can and we act our sincerity by holding to the line that a harm to one is a harm to all. what can that possibly mean if we asterisk that statement by excluding some marginalized groups?

                One more focused on being ‘woke’ or aesthetically revolutionary

                Imagine means testing solidarity

      This is class reductionism and it is bad.
