    I guess I’ll say it😔. Ultra-woke garbage includes pronoun-mongering, the whole trans women participating in women’s sports thing, race-swapping movie characters, and plenty other stuff.

    Let the downvotes and blocks ensue because I’m going against the consensus opinion here😔

      Huh. That’s interesting.

      Earlier you were saying that you reckon people are oversensitive about use of ‘dude’. You took the angle that it can be ungendered, and so people shouldn’t be oversensitive about its use. But now you mention ‘race-swapping’ and trans women. Apparently it is you who is oversensitive. You are upset about the way people express themselves in cases where it has no practical impact on you. You could just ignore it completely, with no cost and no impact, but for some reason you rail against it instead. It’s interesting what riles some people up.

        I didn’t just say trans women bud. I said trans women in women’s sports. Why does this always happen on Lemmy that i make a point and someone twists it to suit their narrative?

        Also, i could get into my qualms with race-swapping characters, but i don’t feel like debating tonight. Maybe another time?

          Trans women are women. Therefore they should be allowed to play women’s sports. Seems simple enough. I don’t understand where the problem is.

          Race swapping if it goes against, say, the description of a character, irritates me a little—The whitewashing of the main characters of Avatar: the Last Airbender in the live-action movie was pretty immersion-breaking for me.
