New feature request; pronouns!

[Proxy6228420]

I personally don't have any issues with pronouns, but I think this will be nice for people who do care and want to tell people their pronoun instead of just bringing it up in conversation

Another vote for pronouns ! I can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t benefit from this. It can be othering to have to constantly reassert your pronouns, especially so on a board about game that’s supposed to be fun and relaxed.

 

[Sloom]

well I'm late to the party but you have my vote.

obligatory but actually not at all obligatory I'm not trans or nb, but I would actually like this myself because a lot of people assume im a boyboy man male man dudeguy based on my in-game character lol so it'd be handy for me but MORE IMPORTANTLY real nice for the clearly masses of people on here that want it. everybody wins!

Sounds like a great idea ~ however don't make this a required option. I'm not keen on being forced to pick a pronoun. Would rather not have any pronouns attached to my profile at all actually.

im only issue is that some people use combinations of pronouns (like he and they or he, she, and they) and also some people use neopronouns (of which there are WAY too many to list)
so imo it would be best if it was typed out by the user and not a list to choose from like the genders (which i personally already find a bit,,, restricting but it is nice)

(also not quite a fan of the "dont force it on us!!!" thing, no-one mentioned it being required as far as im aware?? pretty sure theyd include a blank/dont show option like the gender dude, calm down)

We do have minors here, and we got some furry "roleplay enthusiasts" not too long ago. Some less informed frisky buggers could interpret certain ___sexual terms as "ready to mingle".

I don’t understand this reasoning at all with what OP is trying to propose (which I fully support btw, go pronouns!). Could you explain fruther?

Yes! Earlier in the thread I believe it was already discussed this was the intention c: (if not then it was always the intention in my brain lmaoo) there are too many pronouns for a drop down list and they are subject to change so it should be possible for people to type in their own pronouns if this were implemented. (Mods wya.)

As stated earlier in this thread it would be optional of course just like any other peice of information in your profile!

That was an attempt to draw their attention from people I like, it worked.

so you were just screwing with people who are trying to suggest something nice that would help people??? really dont get the point but cool beans dude, you made a fool of yourself

the sexualization of lgbt identities is already a huge issue and is something the community has been combating irl for decades, making a joke about it as a "distraction" is incredibly ignorant and disparaging at best

 

[cloudmask]

i think this would a wonderful addition! a full vote in favor.

No.

 

[peachp1t]

No.

what, exactly, were you doing then??? it really seems like you were just. being rude and distracting to get negative attention

 

[Chris]

Let's keep this friendly, please. This issue was cleared up earlier in the thread: there is nothing inherently sexual about declaring gender pronouns.

 

[SolaireOfAstora]

It's a good idea since none of us know everybody's gender off the bat. It's just useful when referencing people tbh

 

[deleted]

As a member of the LGBT community, I support this! Until it gets added, I put my pronouns in my signature.

Still waiting on response from the mods.
Think its funny so many other requests will get addressed rather quickly and this one hasnt had any serious input as to whether it will be implemented or not but has been moderated in general.
Been a few months now.

 

[IonicKarma]

I think its a good idea! I personally probably won't use it because I try not to reveal anything personal about myself but I can imagine its useful for some people!

Sure, I don't see any reason why this couldn't be a thing...

Edit: It has been a while since this thread was made to be fair, pretty sure we've had custom fields added for island name and stuff since this thread was created, so clearly it's possible.

My point exactly.
I wasnt as concerned at first because they were working on the 3.0 update but.
For the thread to be regularly modded (for instance I got an infraction for posting "bump" to boost this back to the 1st page when more people joined the site) and for other requests on this forum to be addressed almost immediately is really.... um. Idek how to word it aside from offensive?

If the mods can spend a good chunk of the day removing comments in threads that are "off topic" I dont see why not one has actually given any REAL comment on the implementation of this simple feature.

Really not trying to come off as rude or anything but it's ridiculous and unprofessional makes me feel some kind of way and I'm not even someone who directly benefits from pronoun usage.
This forum is like... the only ac community I know of that doesnt encourage pronoun usage.

I'm in like 7 discord groups and every single one BUT the bell tree one has a role option for it. Even on ac twitter the majority of blogs show their pronouns in the bio to be inclusive

Of course we can continue to use our signatures and titles but a designated spot will be MUCH better for multiple reasons I've stated prior in the thread. (Inclusive to the trans/nb community, normalization of asking when you meet someone, etc.)

For this to be so blatantly ignored is very agitating especially since I like using this site.
