Trans: Debates on Pronoun Disclosure
Also:
"Requiring someone whose PGPs are situational to state definitive PGPs in front of a wider group than they are comfortable with only worsens the aforementioned lose-lose situation. Some people may not want to share their true PGPs with a crowd of people they don’t know yet, but would also like to avoid the dysphoria of misgendering themselves in their introduction."
Trans: Debates on Pronoun Disclosure
Harvard Crimson Editorial:
https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2020/10/16/xiao-against-mandatory-preferred-gender-pronouns/
"For those who are closeted with respect to gender identity, mandatory PGPs (Preferred Gender Pronouns) can force people into an uncomfortable lose-lose of either outing themselves before they’re ready or lying and feeling incredibly dysphoric. And while withholding PGPs can lead to others unintentionally misgendering you, self-inflicted dysphoria is a whole other beast, which, depending on the person, may be more painful than being misgendered."
@PsyChuan I see the 3 arrows 👀
Snouts, personal subtoot
I know narcissism when I see it, and I can tell you, it's a waste of time and emotional labour to empathize with her. I've been through this song and dance with countless other narcissists, and I can tell you, they never get better.
Any benefit of the doubt you give to these people will just be seen and used as an excuse to gaslight. It's best to just cut ties and move on. Agonizing about the mask a narcissist once wore will only serve to further traumatize you. Please be kind to yourself, and be there for the other snouts members present and former.

@PsyChuan That's actually why it sucks that the admin is acting the way she is right now, because she's basically bent the knee to those people.
re: Snouts, personal
@PsyChuan A lot of rival instance owners say that because they are vindictive monsters.
“I created a free speech zone and it turned into a toxic stew of nazi propaganda” is shaping up to be the new “I presented as a woman online and got harassed and condescended to” as a discovery surprising only to white cis centrist men.

We tackle the hyper-popularized Malsow's Hierarchy of Needs and why we need to unlearn the individualism it promotes.

@mxbluesky @LilyVers @Morgan Little did anyone know, we are all chaotic-aligned.
@monorail Apache OpenOffice is basically dead. Not a single major release since 2014, taking months to release a security update (with existing patch!),...
All those volunteers they mentioned? Basically don't exist, unless they are counting pre-Apache times.

Hot Take re:Youtubers
Apollo Legend is a white supremacist, he defended White Goose, a white supremacist when he got rightfully banned for being anti-semitic.
I don't know why other speedrunners are having such a hard time condemning him as such, even when they called him out on it. They took issue with it instead because it's "dishonest" Yeah sure, but what was he lying about? I think that's the more important context.
Actually I know why, a vast majority of the speedrunning community are white af to the point that even the idea of banning people from SGDQ and AGDQ for racism and transphobia raised the hackles of the speedrunning community. Gross.
That's not even getting into how he constantly starts witch-hunts and goes after other people for clout, and then plays the victim when he gets called out for it. Or, you know, the thousands of donation money that was supposed to be used for defending against litigious assholes like Billy Mitchell being stolen. I have absolutely no sympathy for him even when he says he's feeling suicidal. I guess he now knows how his victims feel, eh? Doesn't feel so good when the tables have turned, right?
Fuck Apollo Legend, him exposing cheating speedrunners does not nullify the damage he did to the speedrunning community. Fuck Apollo Legend, he deserves oblivion.

Help. I'm trying to figure out where the true hate and corruption is coming from this is hard.
