Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Their username is cupcakezealot, is it not? Why would anything else be displayed?
No, her display name is "katy✨"
If you weren't using an app that removes basic functionality, this is what you'd see:
Well, I am, so 🤷
Not my fault you choose to use it and then are ignorant of stuff everyone else can see. Make better choices.
Aren't ML users just the nicest people?
If you go around misgendering people, then no, we are not, and I'm in fact quite proud to not be "nice" about that.
Let me put it to you this way. If I see someone with a clearly female profile pic and display name getting called masculine terms, I'm going to aggressively call that shit out. So you can either:
Stop using a dumb app that removes your ability to see shit
Don't default to masculine terms for anonymous users
Don't get upset when you are called out for misgendering, just own up to it
Block me because you want to go around misgendering people and not getting called on it.
First, I didn't misgender anyone, second, I pointed out that a large chunk of Lemmy users don't see either of those things.
You're the one that took the ball and ran with it.
Defending misgendering and criticizing people for calling it out is in no way better than doing it yourself. I don't know why libs on here always play this, "Um, actually, I didn't say that, I just defended someone else saying it," bullshit. I do not care.
