Old farts of Hexbear, is there something about younger people that you don't get? [no punching down!]
  • I think the slang is funny but i feel bad that they have such a melted husk of the internet i knew growing up.

    Also there was more space to do stuff outside and get into trouble without actually getting into trouble

    I don't judge them because i was shit and a bad guy as a youth

  • Any grind albums like the first Napalm Death?
  • Scum, you mean? Ah jeez it was sort of a groundbreaking record at the time in not sure i can help because I don't really listen to that type of grind anymore but I will think on it. Wormrot is coming to mind but i don't think they sound that similar they're just sick

  • Would someone please help me understand when using "they" as a catch-all pronoun is transphobic?

    I've seen a few posts recently calling people out for using "they" when referring to someone with gendered or neo pronouns.

    As a long time dumb guy I was under the impression that gender neutral pronouns were basically always acceptable and I'm now concerned that I have been unintentionally making people uncomfortable.

    My current understanding based on context is that once someone has made their pronouns known, unless specifically included, 'they' is no longer acceptable. Thank you in advance for taking the time to help me out

    Is there something that pushes new ones to people or am i just lucky?

    Can you misgender a baby? (Based on real events)

    My child is AMAB but isn't even old enough to talk let alone express an identity based on societal gender norms. That being said almost everyone we meet will refer to them with she/her pronouns until they hear the name which is typically male coded. More often than not they become very apologetic even though I don't really care at all. As I say to them "he doesn't seem to mind either way" with a smile.

    This has me thinking, however, about how to handle this situation in a way that, when old enough to understand, shows my child that they get to decide how to be referred to, not other people.

    Any thoughts or opinions?
