Because it’s just another tip of the iceberg. In reality it’s a concerted effort amongst a certain group of people to add more and more trivial annoyances to normal peoples’ lives to satiate their own desire to control others who they feel

Pronouns are merely virtue signaling acts of control. By specifying pronouns if they are obvious (99% of the time) you are signaling you are part of a non-bigoted, non-hateful club. Surely you don’t hate people right? So why don’t you have

Good. This pronoun virtue signaling meme has gotta go. Or at least don’t censor us by limiting us to the ones Officially Approved by the Pronoun Establishment like Instagram and most other places do. If they can have custom pronouns, why ca

Wow, I guess China and the CCP really are great after all. Way better than the USA. Next time I vote, I’m definitely voting for representatives and presidential candidates that promise to take it easy on China.

If the media sweeps things under the rug and looks the other way solely upon party affiliation then isn’t that of everyone’s concern?

I think it’s good when people call out dishonest and misleading news organizations, no matter how established they are. Though, in this case it’s not really a political news article so I don’t think the comment is relevant for this particul
