It's not grammatically wrong to use the "they" with a singular meaning. It's often found in official documents. No need to jump on assumption about gender and Tumblr, really. It's also a good way to prevent yourself from repeating "he" or "she" all the time.

Also, "they" is not feminist newspeak either.

Shape your mouth to make the long o sound like row.

The Mid central rounded vowel.
Only part of the languages use it.
It's not very tricky. "hoppe."
Looks innocent does it?

I'm not jumping to any conclusions, it's pretty obvious why they're using it. And perhaps more people are using it in recent times, but it's far from universal, and it still sounds completely foreign it me, especially when used in such a way for a known individual. If you don't know a person's sex, "he" is appropriate.Foxtrot wrote: 2l233p

Bird, mate, it's completely grammatically correct to use "they" when referring to someone, and there's plenty of evidence to back that up from history.
HOWEVER, the reason you're being a mongrel is because you attacked Rasp for the wrong thing. While "they" is completely fine in use here, why the fuck would you do so? You can easily say "he" as the chances are VERY high Ultra is a guy, simply from how Internet works. If it turns out that he's indeed a she, you politely apologise and we all go our merry way.
Goddamn mongrels...
To be fair, you can skip this pointless aspect by just using gender-neutral when referring to unknown people.Aurani wrote: k3n52

Regardless, it's not a big deal, B1rd is just convinced that he needs to continue fighting a war against the feminist agenda that exists in his head.
Why on earth would I be referring to UltraHenzie, when he wasn't even the one using singular they? I was referring to all the people who use singular they. Take you own advice and don't try to nitpick grammar when you're not even right.DaddyCoolVipper wrote: 4p47
to further clarify
I'm not jumping to any conclusions, it's pretty obvious why they(Referring to the single poster, UltraHenzie)'re using it
I... guess? I don't see the ratio as important, and generally just use gender-neutral unless I have a reason to (i.e. if I know the gender of the speaker). Works fine for all my communication, so having needless potential confusion (regardless of how likely it is that there'll be a mix-up) seems silly and pointless to me.

My mistake- you were referring to Raspberriel, as shown by the conversation. (Didn't go back to check who you were originally picking a fight with).
If you weren't referring to Raspberriel, then I can instead commend you on your inability to clearly communicate in conversation. You're a native speaker and yet you make silly mistakes like that while attempting to correct others' grammar, which is quite frankly sad.
Singular they is still perfectly valid, by the way. You had no grounds with this to start with, and you needlessly start arguments based on politics that nobody else is interested in.
Don't get me wrong, using both is completely fine. I just prefer to use "he" on forums for the aforementioned reason, and it's a nice conversation starter.DaddyCoolVipper wrote: 4p47

I know you ITT regulars are quick tempered and odious, but this is just taking it to another level. Every single topic of discussion turns into a shitfest, and it's really an eyesore for an outsider/neutral. I know it's a part of your little circlejerk, but you should really cut it down a bit. It's downright annoying.

If you don't want to see anyone arguing, you should leave the internet.In a small society, I don't. Bigger ones attract different personalities and people (for the most part) don't know each other well. On the other hand, a couple of you have been doing this forever. It wouldn't hurt to create some positivity, and break free from this monotony.

You make it sound like something drastic, and its sad to see someone with such a standpoint. Casual lighthearted discussion isn't something that should be considered a "change".
Yeah, just like B1rd I was already feeling a bit annoyed when I wanted to let off some steam and make a joke-y post here. I really shouldn't have reacted the way I did, and I'm glad I was able to keep myself from posting more.Comfy Slippers wrote: 4v5r2f

It would help if I, and a few others here, weren't so cynical about each other's intentions. That's the mentality that's been keeping me on edge for months now, and it's not a pleasant experience at all. (And yes, I've said something like this before.)

it's really an eyesore for an outsider/neutraloh i'm sorry this thread doesn't comply with your standards. maybe there's not enough dick sucking going on in this thread like the other ones with the same fucking people in them!
in a more serious note, this happens so often the regulars seem to be okay with it. i mean, even raspb itted that she was just feeling kind of cranky and honestly she's the one who started the fight with the insults, not B1rd. also, nobody is stopping you from posting something else in this thread, you know. it's kind of the point of this thread. oh wait, you're new so i don't expect you to know.
This is the most polite way of me saying "fuck you"oh i am so terrified of you right now

You have to begin thinking for yourself and forming your own opinions, rather than them being fed to you as they are. Once you have that in the bag, I think you're going to be just fine as a person.
The same thing can't be said about some other people here.

Realize that none of your feelings, thoughts or actions have an effect on the world as a whole. Teens are way too caught up with ideology. Cue Mahogany. Once you realize that you're not the center of everything, you also stop getting worked up so much. Just remind yourself that shit doesn't matter as much as you think it does.
Step 2:
Avoid turning into a cynical bastard. Yeah, it certainly doesn't matter to the world whether you're alive or not, but that doesn't mean that you can't care about your own life. If you're cynical about it means that you still care way too much. Just do you and be happy that you have a chance to make your life something fun and fulfilling.

Thank god you're not the person receiving calls on suicide lines, cus that would be homocide
But credits to you for attempting
I don't think being cynical is that bad.
That being said, I don't think it's as black and white as you make it out to be. Your private life very much ties in with the outside world. Being an edgy shut-in won't help you understand shit and thus won't advance your character as a whole.
To become wiser and better as a person, you absolutely NEED to interact with the outside world and place your ideas out there.

Being an edgy shut-in is the complete opposite of what "taking care of your private life" looks like. Taking care of your private life includes but isn't limited to:
- getting educated
- having a stable job
- having an intimate, healthy relationship
- filling your free time with social activities and other stuff that you enjoy
Maybe "private life" was the wrong term here. I meant taking care of your own issues instead of trying to save the world.
I was talking about people that are deeply cynical, to a degree where it affects their ability to function. People that would feel very hopeles without their cynicism.

Define "saving the world"? I still stand by the statement that a person without a proper connection to the world is not a wiser person for being so.
One must focus on oneself as much as they need to focus on making sure the world around them is in order. We are all tied in one way or another, so having the goal of inward perfection is impossible without the "help" of others. Your character is built by your experiences of this world and the actions you have taken to change it.
I'm going to make some examples to illustrate my points instead of talking about it in solely general .
The maxim is: If it doesn't affect you, or if you can't affect it, do not get involved.
You can extend that to others if you're feeling particularly altruistic, but the principle stays the same. (if it doesn't affect others..)
Hateful person online
- Does some hateful guy online immediately affect you? Only if you let him.
- Can you immediately and meaningfully affect him (aka: Could you change his mind?). If you're Mahogany: Clearly no.
Therefore: Hands off, go and do something more meaningful.
Politics
- Do Politics affect you? Yes.
- Can you immediately and meaningfully affect politics? You can vote, but your vote's worth is equal to the likelihood of your vote changing the outcome of the election, which is pretty much 0.
Voting also comes at almost 0 cost, so you might do it anyway, but you might also not do it and that'd be fine. 0-cost 0-impact actions don't really matter.
It follows that reading about politics would be equally useless unless you do it for a different reason than just being able to vote "better". Or arguing about it online and getting very emotional in the process. However: These two come at a cost, so...
Don't bother unless you plan a career in politics, or if you try to become a public figure to have a greater impact etc.
That should clear things up. It's also very basic common sense. Basically: Your ideals are useless if they fail to make an impact, Mahogany. And I'm pretty sure that nothing you ever did ever had an impact on B1rd, so why do you try so hard. You wasted like 500 hours getting mad at B1rd, insulting him and trying to change his mind. Get out and do something more useful.
Your own life is where things actually impact you and where you can actually make an impact. That's what you should turn most of your attention towards. Not politics, not the news, and especially not some people that give you a hard time online.
