    Please keep in mind that OP is the author of this piece. I have seen in other threads people who have viscerally disliked Their writing and Their opinions, and I ask everyone to treat Them with respect, and to respect Their pronouns, even if you disagree with the concept of capitalized pronouns. Be(e) nice.

      Because their opinions are being weaponized to accuse anyone who doesn’t conform to exactly how they wish to be addressed as being bigoted.

      This is the same type of rhetoric that DroneRights used, another narcissist. I think it’s extremely important to differentiate this kind of thing from genuine issues.

      Be(e) nice cuts both ways: I don’t find the superiority implication of the capitalization to be nice, and OP’s explanations don’t make me think of anything nice behind them.

      It may boil down to something as simple as netiquette, where ALL CAPS MEANS SCREAMING, or AlTeRnAtInG cAsE means mocking… but the explanations seem to point more in the direction of asking to use MASTER/OWNER as someone’s pronouns. Not nice.

      Supremacist worldviews are intolerant and do not deserve tolerance. The question at hand is whether or not OP’s assertions of gender-based divinity are tantamount to supremacist ideology, such as when a cult leader claims their followers (or perhaps descendants of an ancient lineage) are inherently superior.

      Also, OP might just be a troll. Remember attack helicopters? Same vibes here.

      Good luck, and I do not envy your responsibility in moderating this thread.
