i can understand the whole "it's not a critically needed function that needs to be added right now". but the fact that it would really help a lot of people who do not fit the binary and who suffer from dysphoria or massive panic attacks / disassociation due to things like being misgendered / unable to convey what makes them comfortable, i don't see the point in ****ting all over something that literally has no cons to it being implemented. if you don't need your gender to be shown, don't use the function. but don't say that other's don't deserve to feel comfortable in a setting just because you personally do not give a rats ass about gender yourself. just get out of the thread then.
opinions are often like *******s, everyone has one, and some of them stink.
