Brazen, lewd, and odious
This vile, depraved display

I cannot bear to watch it
Yet I cannot turn away

Twitter 

Twit

noun

A silly or foolish person. 

They name things for a reason. You are bound to find foolishness there.  

Twitter and Tumblr bring out the worst of people on the Internet. I argue that they're even worse than Facebook.

That'd be an unsound argument on all fronts.

I forget where exactly I’ve heard this but it really is true. Twitter is what happens when you make the YouTube comment section into its own site.

It’s all just a bunch of hot takes and, honestly, I have yet to see a real discussion actually occur on there that doesn’t end in insults. I’ve been trying to use if more over the last year or so but I swear, every time I actually start reading shit I get a headache.

The only benefits I ever get out of it is through just skimming art, memes, and getting a basic understanding of current news.

Honestly, ever since the nsfw ban and the subsequent mass exodus happened, tumblr from my experience got not only far more quieter (less activity), it’s gotten substantially more docile. I almost never see any drama or incendiary takes on my dashboard as I used to before the ban.

It’s no secret that many former tumblr users fled to Twitter, and I’ve read commentary that Twitter as a result of that mass migrations has only gotten crazier than it was before. *shrug*

...No..?

Okay, I should provide a little context to this.

My friend (who will remain anonymous) is a pretty big K-Pop fan, but not to the "stan" level. They got into a disagreement with another fan, who actually is a stan. My friend doesn't have pronouns in their bios. They wish to keep their gender private. That when they started harassing them because they had no pronouns in their bio. I tried to defend them, saying that, while helpful to trans people, shouldn't be a requirement from everyone.

They then to proceed harassing ME because I had no pronouns in my bio (not that I'm against them, just felt no reason to, didn't really pay attention to my bio). Not as much, mind you, the situation has already somewhat passed, but I added my pronouns in afterwards just a minute ago, just to prevent this from happening again.

I just hope no one on THIS server is all about forcing people to put pronouns in their bios. That's just kinda dickish.

No stupid questions.

The answer is no. Anyone suggesting otherwise has issues. You're fine.

EDIT: In relation to your specific scenario, that person has issues. If you don't list your gender or pronouns, people can assume based on a number of things (what you've said in the past, the community, your name or username, your pictures etc), they can ask or they can refer to you neutrally. If they're wrong, you can politely correct them. There is nothing transphobic about not listing gender or pronouns, and I personally resent the notion that pre-existing knowledge of pronouns should be relevant to 99.99% of discussions.

EDIT 2: Some people also object to being politely corrected. Those people also have issues.

Live however you like. If you don't want to put your preferred pronouns in your bio, you don't have to. Anyone forcing you otherwise is being rude.

No it's not I don't think. It does make it easier to know how a person identifies though but I wouldn't say it's transphobic to not include them.

A name like "Cooties" makes me think this film is would look like the second coming of the Oogieloves. 

Now I wish that's what it actually was

:0

I gave it the benefit of the doubt, because the marketing WAS kinda terrible...

But then I saw a few clips from the actual movie, and I was like "this was not okay".

tru

The film won an award at the Sundance Film Festival. The co-founder of said festival had been convicted of....exploiting children last year.

I just think the internet enjoys getting righteously indignant about things that don't matter

People getting mad at Uzaki-chan yet defend this to the death. (not referring to you, Match, but I'm talking about those kind of people)

i definitely do not want to be the guy who defends the "child twerking movie" so i'll drop it

Agreed.

@A Match in Oil Ocean Zone Twitter is fuelled by outrage. This particular topic has outraged more than Twitter. I personally don't feel right criticising a movie I've never seen, but if even half of what has been said about this movie is true, I don't want to see it.

My advice? Get off Twitter. If you aren't on it, stay away from it.

@altum_dolorem nah i like twitter, i gotta keep up with the revolution in my busted-ass country

but yes, i think you're right that, no matter the message, paying children to do something provocative is gross....and the pedos don't care what the social intent of the film is, they will just take it at face value i suppose

This looks to become another big example of just how tone deaf so many professionals can be regarding how people might react to this shit.
