>>25092546You get a free they/them bonus and you're complaining? Everybody else is lying anyway.
Write in xi/xir for a +10% win buff
>>25092546Wow that must've been really traumatic for you, OP. Perhaps you should expand on that in your blog, instead of an imageboard about books and literature.
>>25092546>they force you to include your pronouns when submittingThis is quite honestly fucking stupid and should be treated the same way as if they demanded that you state your ethnicity before you submit. Unless they are simply asking what they should refer to you as and not as something they'll stick next to your name.
>>25092566It feels humiliating to stoop to that level.Would a science prize, an engineering prize, a mathematics prize ask for entrants to submit their pronouns? It's degenerating an art form for political reasons.
>>25092571How is it not relevant to the state of culture and literature?There have been tons of threads posted about ethnic writers being artificially promoted after Floyd.
if you declare to be a normal person they wont even bother reading the sutff you subnit
>>25092611That's not what OP is talking about.
>>25092654It is though?One is about ethnicity, the other is about gender.
>>25092546>>they force you to include your pronouns when submittingThen try to type diarrhea.
>>25092546Yes, it's widespread. Put down xey/xem if you want a chance at winning. He/him authors just get instantly rejected.
the more secular, the more gay
writers are some of the people who have the ability to influence culture so get to it
>>25092772There's nothing in his post about being denied anything because he is uses he/him pronouns. He just saw the question on a form and shat his diaper.
>>25092546>heh trannies are mentally ill freaks who can't handle real life>"hello please type your pronouns in this box on this form">REEEEEEEEEEEEE I GOTTA TELL 4CHAN REEEEEEEE REEEEEE DESPAIR DESPAIR REEEEEEEEE IT'S LITERALLY OVER REEEEEEEEEE 4CHAN LOOK LOOK Fascinating
>>25092546what's wrong anon, scared you'll have some gender??just put your pronouns on the entry, it doesn't mattert. They/Them
I remember when 4chan had the reputation of being smug, unflappable trolls. How did anons become so bitch made?
>>25093007i think you meant "unfappable"
>>25092988>>25092995>>25093007its not trolling if the state does/sanctions it. its boot.
>>25093022>heh trannies think they're being discriminated against but really they're just mentally ill freaks >4CHAN 4CHAN I HAD TO WRITE HE/HIM ON A FORM THIS IS LITERALLY STATE OPPRESSION 1984 DISCRIMINATION WOKE GONE AMOK You sound like such a whiny faggot lmfao
>>25093027>>4CHAN 4CHAN I HAD TO WRITE HE/HIM ON A FORM THIS IS LITERALLY STATE OPPRESSION 1984 DISCRIMINATION WOKE GONE AMOKIt's completely insane and so are you.
>>25093027Non-sequitor.If someone doesn't want to include a pronoun, then why are you throwing a tantrum about it? That's their choice.
>>25093121nta but this is an insane thing to complain about on the most grammatically-inclined board of 4chan. like, if your privileged-ass is dooming over a necessary feature of the english language, i have to think you've never been punched>>25093136almost 2 o' the bong now guvna
