See, the banner thingy sent me here, and behold on the last page I see your comment.. «not caring» is not the percieved tone. ;)
Yes I learned that enby isnt in related to nimby in this cursed thread minutes ago, ergo Im better at not caring than you. :)

That's an odd response. Do you think science fiction isn't about real-world issues? Do you think she came up with the idea to write about non-binary people, and found a publisher and an audience for it, because she was the only one having thoughts about non-binary gender identities?

I just miss when it was about crimes and violence. And now, the crimes part of it is being put in the side lines for years and we have a political arena here. I really like all the drama and etc that comes with it but don't think torn players are realy prepared for this.

All you do is wander around the forums now repeating miserable shit like everyone and everything in Torn is so terrible, yet you're still here every day droning on to the point if an AI were fed all your posts and given your name, no one would notice you disappeared. Seek help.

Yet you sit here chirping while not participating, and honestly just wandering around Torn like a miserable ass ghost. Find something fun or maybe consider that you need to get help in RL if you can't peel yourself away from miserable forum posts that are so predictable anyone could pretend to be you and no one would even notice it wasn't you.

I held my tongue til now cause I suspect shit in RL is pretty f**ked for you right now, but hey you wanna talk shit to me there it is, everyone's thinking it so I'll say it.

The person you're trying to speak to (me) has decided to not reply to your statements. This isn't because they're afraid, wrong, or don't understand your cry for attention. This user (me) has come to the conclusion you're so stupid you might be on the spectrum and to not bully a possible special needs case. You will have to move all further comments to his lawyer THEFERRETT[2352197]. sorry for your possible condition but send your test results to THEFERRETT if you would like a future response from me.

The enby symbol is by far my favorite!
The color is on point and looks like a diamond ring.

Enby here (and seriously, has anyone really used that term since the mid/late 2000s?) who thinks the OP was way too much of an over-reaction. Male, Female, enby, who here hasn't been on the receiving end of some sh*t-talking like that on the internet? Especially when playing games.

Yes, I have gotten a lot of abuse over the decades for not fitting into standard social norms, but no, what was displayed in the OP does not really seem motivated by enby hate or discrimination of any sort. Just seems like someone who got pissed at Ltjelloman and just spewed out a bunch of angry crap. Just because someone shouts at you doesn't automatically mean they are an evil bigot-monster out to get you because of your identity (in fact, it very very very rarely means that, online or IRL).

Yeah, wishing death on a bunny can seem a bit much, but still not a hate crime (not remotely close).

And seeing as how Ltjelloman has been playing Torn for more than 10 years and the offender is . . . considerably less in every way, perhaps the offended should have just handled the offender without trying to completely ruin their Torn life forever by handing out pitchforks and torches and pointing the mob at someone much weaker. Ltjelloman seems to want us to think he's being oppressed despite being the one who has far more power (and judging by some of the posts, far more influence).

Also, a few posts above, the offender apologized, and it seems quite sincere. Perhaps being calm and rational and working towards an actual discussion could have prevented all this unnecessary (attempted) drama.

I want special treatment! Waaaa!!!

[Reported post success]

((The post: Here for the memes.
Soon as them (Staff edit: Extreme Flaming - filter bypass) started trying to reference to straight people in a derogatory way as cis while making up all sorts of special terms for whatever the f**k nobody cares you've got an outty or an inny and you like boys girls both or cabbages.... I digress.... and then complaining they werent being taken seriously or being abused (refer back to the cis comment)...
Yeah i just thought your parents either gave you too much or too little tit or slaps))

My two cents:

So that's fair.
A person who is not either straight or gay and actually a made up whatever can be abusive about that choice absolutely unchecked because the moment anyone responds its deemed as against community guidelines.
Fascinating
I disagree but it's not first time and wont be the last time that a thier, that, them, wamalanga ding dong gets preferential treatment under the guise of fairness in fear of being labelled by a minority of being unjust.
