A lot of people say the same things about trans folks in terms of gay rights. Some people might be fucking around, but drawing a line in the sand like that is going to inevitably invalidate people with legitimate identities. And if you really don't want to use them, it's super easy to just ignore. Idk if I've ever even had to refer to someone with third person pronouns on Lemmy.

No she has apes >:(
True. Or just discard their attempts to taint the language. Like how some slurs have been reclaimed.
Interesting. Feels like there's a bit of a paradox, where we need a term to address a group of people who are being "othered," but while that's the case, there will be people who use that term as an insult.
Dude turned into the gman
More people live in "people live here?" than the entirety of "too square" lmao

Don't get me started on ds9. A black captain? A trans lesbian officer? A gay interspecies couple? The federation using fear from war as an excuse to become a police state? Can't believe they made my colorful space communism show woke.
Man this isn't really made any better with context either lol

People are right about flatpak - it will generally keep stuff out of your actual root/home directory. But like you implied, the steam flatpak is unofficial so you may run into issues. With that said, I've used it and know many people who use it without any problems.
And depending on the game, you might be able to run it directly with steam offline, or even straight from the executable without steam open at all.
Of course this isn't airtight, but there are ways to check the permissions granted to flatpak applications. And IMO it works well enough for games. Ofc this depends on how paranoid you are and your reasons for wanting this (fear of a game being a virus, not wanting clutter in home, wanting protection from a bug that would delete data, etc.).
I thought the post was about neopronouns in general. Didn't know the drag example was the main concern and thought it was just an exaggerated example.
