How? give me an example, please.
@Fegueighfifgbtfighrftu8ueridjkcn Attack helicopter is a transphobic joke made to dehumanize trans people for starters, next you see users make genders but say “it’s for fun” and claim it’s mocking the bad ones, even though it’s mocking everything as a whol (one user has commonly used “gummywormgender” to excuse rather..invalidating stuff)
But even then we got:
Inhalegender
Kindergender (treats it as a troll term even though legit predators use it to harm kids and does not state any form of awareness about it)
Deflating Balloon (is a gender descriptor, is treated as a joke)
”I am introducing a new gender today, the Diesel Only Ford F-150.” (Is mocking xenogenders)
“Despacitogender is a gender in which one is not male nor female, and is instead the embodiment of the Puerto Rican culture, and worship the song Despacito by Luis Fonsi featuring Daddy Yankee. and or the song Despacito by Luis Fonsi featuring Daddy Yankee the Justin Bieber Remix Version. This gender is not a joke, and is to be taken seriously.” (has literal racist implications)
“ShadowGender (not to be confused with Gender Fluid) is a gender where it changes depending on the length of your shadow. Most people who identify as this gender find that when their shadow is short, they prefer to identify as female. However, when they find that their shadow is long, they prefer to identify as male. On the other hand, when their shadow is barely visible, or cannot be seen at all they prefer to identify with either no gender or all genders (this varies from person to person, depending on how they feel).” (Makes fun of mutogenders and imply being trans is a choice”
There is more but that’s barely scratching the surface of the sheer transphobia and such this can have.
Couldn't we just remove the transphobic stuff?
Even then besides all of that, you can’t slap and admins note and ignore the literally mockery and transphobia the page reeks. And the rules doesn’t even try to block out transphobia or bullying of some identities, or even just racism, ableism etc.
”1: Random spam is not allowed like hitlerdidnothingwronggender
2: Nothing illegal on here or anything that violates Wikia's terms of use
3: This is the one and only page on the wikia where satirical genders are allowed to be posted. If you post it somewhere else it will be either deleted or moved, depending on the quality.
4: It should have some degree of originality.
5: Please be polite and civil in the comment section.
6: It should try to make a point.”
Saying “oh don’t violate TOS” isn’t gonna fix anything either, it needs to be direct and clear with it instead of just slapping on a link and not say anything else. Sure you can add the link but at least add some rules that are similar or the same as ToS to emphasize what you want to happen.
Its also redundant to say “don't get butt-hurt on other people's ideas. If you don't like it, don't read it.”
That doesn’t excuse it from being bad, that shouldn’t excuse deliberate transphobia, racism, ableism, etc. sorry I got a bit heated but I’m being real here when I say the rules really don’t do much and come off a bit lazy. Not saying the one who made the page is lazy but it comes off as not much effort was made.
@Fegueighfifgbtfighrftu8ueridjkcn Possibly, issue is some people can sneak by and sneak in some transphobia and excuse it. But this is what this poll is for, to talk about this for once and see the outcome for everything.
What? I'm a bit confused, I don't remember saying anything about the TOS or anything about getting butt-hurt on other ideas...
F**k I picked the wrong one please don't count my vote
@Transgender Cat Still, there are way better solutions than deleting it as a whole.
@Fegueighfifgbtfighrftu8ueridjkcn Go to the page and see the top, I wasn’t talking to you really but more on the sense of criticizing the page itself. On the top you’ll see the admin note and the rules right below.
@Fegueighfifgbtfighrftu8ueridjkcn Well it depends on how we should handle this, if the admins or owner aren’t gonna do much then it should be removed because as it is now it’s very transphobic. But if they are willing to adjust it then yeah go ahead. Or just move it to a different wiki. Also it’s alright if you voted wrong, what were you going to vote for?
What do you think?
