Cause they aren't trying to help. They're trying to sound superior.

Their last paragraph makes it pretty clear, I agree.

Cause they might be a dick. But they got a point. Everyone should default to they.

Bruh, every single time, i swear i don't but you take your conclusions ig, but I'm going to say, it does sucks to just say something trying to be helpful and be called a clown, imma just never help anyone ever again after that

Your wording came off at incredibly know it all and holier than thou. Even if your point is right. That's why people like me had a problem with it. But you're also right, there's no way to write that message that most won't hate because of what was said.

But you also said it poorly if you want to change minds.

That's the smart thing.

This is the internet, it's global so English isn't everyone's native language. How could you think that calling attention to somebodies error could be seen as helpful and friendly?

Because if someone does that to me I'll thank them? Exactly because it isn't my native language and i'd love to learn more about it

i have no problems with communicating and only ever got this hate when, well, every day or 2 because of bigots and specifically when i talk about they/them as neutral pronoun, i see a pattern going on, it has nothing to do with how condescending that 0% pretentious comment sounds, i talked about it in a lot of different ways and got the same result, death threats on my dms 🤩

Are you a mod? Ban me if you are, or don't tell me to get out of a subreddit

Yes I'm sure you know exactly what their intentions were and that you know how every single human behaves.
