15 idiots big mad.
This is just rage bait. You folks are predictably taking the bait and running with it.
My dude, I have literally seen, on the Fediverse in a gaming comm today, someone linking to all the places you can get the mod to take the pronoun option out since Nexus Mods won’t host it, and it’s currently at a 50-50 like to dislike ratio. These people are legit out there. It’s not as fringe as we want to think it is.
Luckily it’s now gone / removed
And nothing of value has been lost.
Lol you are talking about 20 people living in their basement. You really need to touch grass and get perspective. A few people on fucking lemmy 🤣 is not even a remotely representative population.
Oh wow your name makes actually sense. Carry on good sir, don't forget the narwhal bacon
They're just here to troll, I've never seen a post from them that wasn't trying to get a rise out of someone.
It's an old code but it checks out.
I don't see any rage here. Can you please quote the rage?
The rage is within them, and it's coming out as smug finger pointing. They don't know what The Conversation is, and they think they can just cargo cult criticize it.
Sorry... you think finger pointing is the same as rage? I don't think you understand what 'rage' means. And now everyone here is also in a cargo cult? You say a lot of very silly things.
