Please, just stop. |
@LoneSimba @mwaitzman Do you want to make a few people's lives just a bit better for little-to-no effort? I do, and that's all I'm trying to do with this: I don't want to "turn you gay" [1] nor am I trying to erase white cishet [2] men; I just want to get on with my life knowing I've helped others.

It's a minimal change that does not alter the meaning of the text nor does it reduce its comprehensibility but at the same time helps a few people. I'm confident the inappropriate comments will be ignored and this will be merged swiftly. |
If it was originally like that I'd be fine with it and encourage it for the increased efficiency (significantly less letters), but changing it now is just stupid pandering |
I read: "Don't make us have to consider the fact people that aren't identical to us exist. Let us remain in blissful ignorance." Where do you get your information / news? Can you verify it elsewhere? (A habit of mine is to DuckDuckGo the same piece of information, but staying unbiased so results from both sides can appear. Not Google since they probably "customize" your search results)
You read PC, I read respecting others.
"Stupid pandering" that helps make some people feel at home. |
Okay, WOW. I was not expecting to see a bunch of homophobic/transphobic bs today and I really hope this gets merged(I actually noticed this independently when reading the book). |
