Be a pronoun professional in three easy steps:
1) Add your pronouns to your profile. If you don't want to say or don't mind what pronouns people use for you, consider noting that instead so people know what's what.
2) Discover and use the pronouns people have in their bios before interacting with them.
3) If you don't know their pronouns default to they/them and don't presume anything.

PHILOSOPHY TIME! 

To finish, a reminder of the distinction between validity and soundness:
A valid argument is one where the conclusion *must* follow from the premises. For instance, this argument we looked at is valid as it's a simple "If A, then B. A, therefore B" argument.

A *sound* argument is a valid argument *where all the premises are true*. This argument, then, is unsound as premise 1 is *definitely* false, and premise 2 may or may not be true.

The more contentious is premise 2. Without a proper background in philosophy of art (something I don't have), we can't really deeply analyze this premise, but we can say this: for most people, this is a matter of personal taste. For instance, I personally disagree with this. I think that, for instance, Forces, Unleashed, and Colors are all good games. You may disagree. But to treat premise 2 as an objective truth? It's absolutely ridiculous.

PHILOSOPHY TIME! 

Let's start with the less contentious of the unsound premises: premise 1

People are fans of bad things all the time. Take, for instance, Wiseau's "The Room". It is, by all accounts, a bad movie. Poor writing, poor acting, &c. However, there is a not-insignificant number of people who'd consider themself a fan of the movie, in spite of this. *Just because something is bad, doesn't mean you can't like it.*

So, we can break this down into a simple argument:
P1) If something isn't good, then you can't be a fan of it
P2) Sonic isn't good
C1) Therefore, you can't be a fan of Sonic

This is a valid argument, I will grant. However, it is *horribly* unsound.

"How can people be Sonic fans? Sonic hasn't had a good game in years," is a bad argument, philosophically speaking, and you should feel bad for uttering anything of the sort.

Is "dudes" and "guys" gendered?

Ask a cishet male if he'd fuck a dude/guy and there's your answer.
Please don't ever use dude/guy gender neutrally, they blatantly aren't.

I gotta say, I think I found one of the *worst* possible political takes earlier in the form of "let's just put the guys who run google in charge of the government."

Yeah. Because that can't *possibly* end poorly. /s

Remember not knowing if you were gay or not? Haha, wild times.

angry, gender shit 

You know one reason I really fucking hate the “i was always [my gender], and here’s all the tells from when I was a kid”

No. Fuck that. I was a girl when I got in trouble on the playground for wresting too hard with the boys. I was a girl when I played in 95% boy sports. I was a girl when I wanted to play Pokémon with my boy friends I was a girl when I played league and got called names and demeaned and not wanted because I was a girl. None of this had anything to do with my gender, and cis girls can and do do all this shit. I’m not a girl anymore, but I’m not a man, I will never be a man, and I was never a man. I like the masc aesthetic, and that’s it. I am masc non-binary. And I was a girl who liked boy shit.
