It's a no-brainer too cuz banning bigots is literally the easiest good publicity you can get. Plus you can get style points if you dunk on them on twitter or whatever before throwing them out It's that or literally face the legal liability of someone doing something bad after you guys were warned repeatedly about them and didn't take action. Because it's a matter of when not if someone gets hurt again. If there's any internal question about which path should be taken, I would refer to Flatluigi's eloquent statement: flatluigi posted:look at it this way: is there any way that whatever policy you are going to finalize in the future won't include language that'll kick out the bigots, the gropers, and the serial harassers?

please, everyone, we need to not rush into this and consider both sides of what's going on. who are we to lay out judgment upon those who merely wish to make attendees so uncomfortable that they don't want to be even remotely near them for fear of getting grabbed? not to mention how we definitely wouldn't want to stifle free expression and thoughts from people that make attendees afraid of getting assaulted whenever said free thinker gets even mildly drunk or is annoyed. please consider,

I KINDA understand not wanting to rush things because of harassment from the usual suspects, but...they're gonna harass you anyway, no matter how perfectly worded your policy might be. Half measures only piss people off, you might as well just go zero tolerance with people that make other people feel unsafe.

There's no 'hopefully this time they won't do it' because that's not how they work.

I've seen a surprising number of people ask about the pronouns over past week and just go 'oh, ok' once someone explained it to them. Often a troll followed them but that's what moderators are there for. People who aren't around/involved with the trans community very often aren't used to / expectant of personal pronouns and it seems like a decent way to educate on / normalize the practice. Yeah, every new person who wanders into chat asks what's going on but that's a pervasive problem with how twitch chat is displayed. Eventually it'll die down / be limited to just the trolls, and people asking in bad faith almost never take longer than their second message to out themselves.

MagusofStars posted:Maybe there really were that many people who skipped second grade and are totally unfamiliar with the concept of a pronoun...but I doubt it. this actually happens quite a lot if you're not Very Online, to be frank. I've known a lot of people who have literally never met a transgender person and the concept has otherwise never occurred to them. I would actually not call it particularly common knowledge still. Many really do just kinda need a quick explanation which leads to an uneventful "oh, ok" and that's it. bear in mind this is in the context of GDQ, which is watched by a shitton of people who are distinctly less Online than the average of people who normally interact with speedrunners, yes I find it perfectly plausible a decent chunk of them are not familiar with the concept. Dias posted:I KINDA understand not wanting to rush things because of harassment from the usual suspects, but...they're gonna harass you anyway, no matter how perfectly worded your policy might be. also I agree with this. You may as well just rip the band-aid off, Matty. Normally, I'd be sort of sympathetic to wanting to ensure decent veracity of allegations because internet people are assholes (as I'm sure you're aware of the glut of people going after a certain runner for reasons that are loving idiotic) but in this case it's plastered all over his feed out in the open plain as the eye can see. There's really not a great deal of investigation to be done here. doesn't matter how well you word it, people who would be mad about it are not open to be reasoned with so why fuckin bother SuccinctAndPunchy fucked around with this message at 02:59 on Oct 20, 2019 |

You also have an international audience for whom english might be their second or third language and who are not that deep into the discourse of appropriately gendered pronouns.

At least explaining she/her is """relatively""" straightforward, because boy I sure don't envy nonbinary folk having to try explaining their use of they/them to people. That's like a whole other level of talking to a brick wall

There are several languages that do not even have a he/she dichotomy.

That's like a whole other level of talking to a brick wall It's not super difficult to explain me being enby unless the person I'm talking to believes that they has never been used in a singular form even though all English speakers use it that way all the time.

So no mistake on your part.

One of my father's classic childhood stories is when his Hungarian mother unintentionally called a group of his friends (who were all boys) "girls", causing them all to freak out. Hungarian is genderless and she was still learning the semantics of English. I heard her do it a few times as a kid, but I thought it was more funny than anything else. Referencing back to the fantastic Doom II anniversary stream I talked about earlier, there were also tons of chat members who entered and asked the "what is the he/him?" question and were answered appropriately by the very patient moderators, and responded with something along the lines of "oh, ok. English is weird." No vitriol, no hatred, and continued to participate as they would anywhere else.

So no mistake on your part. That's funny since singular they was in regular use in English at least since Shakespeare, so it doesn't need to be "added", it's already there. By the way, there are languages, I believe Japanese is one of them, where pronouns change based on the gender of who SPEAKS them instead of the gender of who they apply to. For those it must be real difficult to learn English.
