mehall posted:Hot take - don't dead name someone unless they've said you can do it.  I've either misread the tone of this or it seems you're going a bit hard on this poster for something that doesn't appear altogether unreasonable. I mean sure, in a few months but literally an hour or two after the announcement it doesn't seem unreasonable to explain who this person is by reference to their immediately previous public identity.

mehall posted:I maybe went in a bit hard, but the text of the post was saying that old roles could be talked about using the "former screen name", but it's still their dead name. See this is where I feel that the entire positive impact of a celebrity announcing that they have transitioned is lost if you don't allow people to process what has actually changed. One day (hopefully soon) stories like this will no longer be as newsworthy because society will have progressed to a state of understanding which renders them less unusual, but at the moment I think there is value in explaining that a famous formerly female actor has now transitioned to a different gender identity and is known by a different name. If it's Jenny from the pub then sure that's different, but I would hope that Elliot Page the star of hugely successful movies and TV series realises the positive impact their story will have on thousands of ordinary trans peoples lives.

Rumda posted:no you are right I agree that deadnaming is hurtful and counter productive to a person's wellbeing and should be avoided, the only point that I want to make is that cis people without a good understanding of what it means to be transgender (particularly those of older generations where this was not something that was really experienced within their social groups) cannot take everything onboard straight away and therefore may need some explanation or guidance. This is only relevant in the immediate short term though, i.e. if my mum doesn't know who this person is that is in the news then explaining who they formerly identified as is helpful as a form of context, but it's not something that should ever need to be brought up again.

stev posted:He wasn't even in it! Naughty Dog were accused off copying his likeness and they tweaked the character model at some point before it came out so Ellie doesn't really look like him now. Also there was that thing where David Cage got another female actor to do the nude bit where Page's character is having a shower and it turns out if you noclip then there is basically that character completely naked. Which Page understandably had a bit of a problem with considering appearing nude was not in the contract

Ah yes I got the compilation videos when I was about 12, they were great although quite a few of the sketches got butchered.

Comrade Fakename posted:I think the plan from the Tories was, and to an extent still is, to play brinksmanship and signal that you’re totally willing to commit national suicide and have no deal so that you hold the upper hand in negotiations. So it’s them trying to attract us not to do a terrible thing for everyone, instead of us begging for scraps to keep our country afloat. this is basically the moment where the pm realises he has to actually gently caress a pig in that Black Mirror episode, and crowds of people are going to cheer it on at the start before realising what's actually going on
