Can you do us all a favour? Please stop incorrectly stating that the problem is with pronouns in general. It's been pointed out many, many times. The point of contention here deals with one person intentionally refusing to use the pronoun someone else has requested when addressing them.

Notice the emphasis on the words "intentional" and "them".

(To be clear, this comment in no way meant to justify S.O.'s horrendous handling of the situation)

no, because the problem is with pronouns

theres nobody specific in the story. nobody requested a pronoun. if it was that simple then why would any of this happen? its cause this is about pronouns being a problem and people wanting to edit everything to be gender neutral to cater to the perpetually outraged

You're plainly wrong. According to the "fired" mod herself, the issue is centered on SO's (soon to be introduced) policy of using preferred pronouns.

> the company is changing the CoC to require use of preferred pronouns

In other words, it's a policy whereby an individual may request to be addressed a certain way, and that request must be honoured.

Nothing more. Nothing less.

It sounds like you're the one generating false outrage.

NB: It's not exactly clear how/if she violated anything, in fact, it sounds to me like she did nothing wrong. But that's not the point I'm making: The point is that everything stems from this new policy.

...it's also somehow offensive to either avoid using pronouns as well as inquiring about them.

The only solution is apparently magic.

nah the real solution is for 99.99% of society to ignore all the fake outrage about pronouns and get back to their lives
