Agreed. To us gender has nothing to do with anything societal, but with our biological being. The body of a person if proof of it no matter how they deny it. Some people feel uncomfortable calling people something else than what they actually are. There's selfishness on both sides.

Just one thing to always remember Zolxys. You are NOT in the wrong most of the time. If people become angry because of something, it's their issue and not yours. If they become angry instead of politely asking you to use some other term, then it's up to you how to handle it. Personally, in most cases I'd just pretend they don't exist after saying bye and problem solved. My patience is extra thin with angry people.

TLDR: Up to you if you have the patience to handle an emotionally unstable person.
Why have we taken a curve ball back into this topic again?
Because people keep bringing it up again and again.

So, on a lighter note, "it's coming home" my ass. USA won't get it, but fek off England! Italy will win tomorrow.

I barely have an understanding of this football meme, but it's so funny to me every time I see it.

Which, I guess, is the hallmark of a good meme.
Football would be funnier if the players were used as balls and Komodo dragons chasing them around trying to score a goal.
It's coming to ROME! It's coming to ROME! Viva l'Italia! It's coming ROME!
As yes the game where everyone turns into stone thanks to Medusa's.

Sorry, that was my fault. I didn't have a chance to read the last few posts on the subject before it veered off into autism and then animals. But there was just one thing that was bugging me and so I finally decided to ask about it.

*Edit

I was talking about *after* they politely ask me to use some other term...

If someone gets angry even before telling me what term to use, that would be a bit too irrational for me... That would be someone I'd try to avoid thereafter.

Why in the world are user requested bans getting to be so popular?

Lack of self control? Cuz we can't delete the profiles so it's not like people would never know you used to be a user. In the case of someone being embarrassed or worried about snoops.
I feel the same way about people leaving discord servers. People do it all the time but there is no reason to unless you are at the server cap.
HOLY SHIT THIS NEW GOOGLE DOODLE GAME THAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW (7/23) IS AMAZING. IT'S SO CHARMING AND FUN.

??? If you don't leave the server, you'll still get notices unless you mute all the channels. And why would you want a whole bunch of servers you don't use cluttering up your list? I don't see your logic there at all.

But to leave a website, all you should have to do is Logout and close the tab. You'd have to have a serious lack of control to end up logging back in after you've seriously decided to leave.
I am in over 40 servers, I visit at most 5.

There are a ton of emoji to use, as a nitro user. Idk I'll just feel a loss if I leave the servers. I already curated my server list, that is going from 80 to 40.
And you don't feel a much greater loss by deciding not to use the server anymore?

Maybe wanting a large list of servers you absolutely never look at is basically the same twisted reasoning as wanting a large list of "Friends" you know absolutely nothing about and never communicate with. I know there are a lot of people like that, but I don't think I'll ever understand it.
People suck. We need unimportant things to make us feel whole. We fawn and obsess and fret over things that don't matter nearly as much as we think they do and some things that won't matter at all in the long run.

You're pretty lucky in that you don't crave that kind of stuff, Zolxys. For some reason, it's one of my favorite things about you.

Edit: That sounded more negative than I wanted it to. The human condition is what it is, and it's not great, but it's... You work with what ya got. It's just that we're not all ever going to be on the same page.
I'd say a solid majority of the servers I'm on are just so I can buy and sell body armor and other tactical shit. There's only two real servers I'm actually invested in: Konachan and my main gear queer server. Otherwise I don't really invest in the communities of other servers beyond what it takes to build a solid rep, which usually carries over from linked servers and people that already know me.

I've left servers that have memories for me. Some I can't get rid of.

The majority though is Hololive related, so you can understand this at least. Hololive are vtubers and each one has a fan discord (unofficial). There are a lot of them (I hate YouTube chat when they stream, it's all so fast and you can't see anything so I don't bother, instead each discord has their own livestream channel for their respective vtuber). If it weren't for this, my server count would be 10 (due to nostalgia, I've basically been on Discord since it launched).

Really, aside from Hololive I go to Kona and another server that is basically "friends over here", and another server that is all about physics. Sometimes I frequent the Gura discord server and go into the fitness-club section to see and chat up about stuff related to the subject.

So do you visit those vtuber livestream channels or not?

I can understand not liking typical stream chats. But if you don't visit the discord channels either, then being on the servers isn't helping, right? Or is that just for rare cases where something unusual happens and you want to see what people are saying about it? If that's it, I can understand that.
Sometimes, at most 7 get a visit. I really have no reason to be in a lot of them except for the emoji and stickers. And I'd rather not join some specialised emoji servers. At some point in time I will prune my servers even more. Well, I might prune some now. Actually I did just that. But I'll make a short list for you of my servers and my reasonings, if you're interested:

wall'o'text

40 was indeed an exaggeration, but I actually used to be in that many hololive servers last year.
Hey, Tenchon, who's your favorite Hololive JP member?
So, to summarize, you do have an actual use for most of them.

Sorry I didn't understand the thing about the Emojis earlier. I don't use emojis myself and I've never liked them. At one time in my life, I would occasionally use a single text based emoji, but I've never used an image.

Uhhhhhhh...... UHHHHH.....

Ollie. Even though I'm not part of the fan server.

I don't know much about her, but I do like her design and she seems fun/nice.

I think Korone is my favorite JP member. I like Korone, Miko, Rushia, Nenecchi, and Watame a lot. As for EN, everybody luff da Goorah. Gura, Calli, and Amelia are my favorites among the five.

I never watch any of the live streams though. I don't have the time. I enjoy VTubers via clip channels and fan animations.

I'm watching a let's play of Doki Doki Literature Club at the moment.
Holy...what the fuck.
That escalated quickly.
