It's meant to replace the one that Gir changed to "bye".

Renegade sure is getting a lot of mileage out of those thread locking powers
P cat love ya bud but what the fuck are you talking about
I dumped the old discord thread in the gas chamber, because Gir turned into a dramatic goodbye thread.
Right when the conversation got interesting. Reddit might need to be protected from someone's pronouns getting made fun of, but the CC forum doesn't need nonproblems cut off right when people are finally getting active somewhere other than CCBT
Quote from above.
Quote from: Slurpeenobody's a villain chillllllllll
it's too real for trans ppl right now. that's all it is
gir wasn't sitting there thinking "nobody has the right to mock me" any more than silver was sitting there thinking "gender identity issues are not worthy of respect or compassion"
it's just a charged subject. things get hot because we're not all playing with the same deck of cards
gender identity issues not being taken seriously is the main source of grief for people dealing with them, and it's a frequent and frustrating obstacle to improving that situation. finally being in the public eye means the stakes are high. for them it's a matter of their identity being respected, and, by way of that, ending a constant and suffocating sense of not being treated with human decency
conversely, the prominence of gender identity issues in the public consciousness is a recent phenomenon, and people for whom it's not a day-to-day issue a) are not used to being asked to view accommodating non-apparent gender presentation as a matter of respect, and b) are understandably not going to react well to being vilified for failing to do so. for them there is a very real and valid sense that their agency is being infringed upon, and that the people doing it to them are using the lazy and intellectually dishonest tactic of dismissing them as bigots if they don't cede to their demands
it's going to be okay.
just try to understand each other, and keep in mind that i, slurpeeclock, am very handsome and that all the boys want to dance with me and give me kisses

You're free to start a topic on gender pronouns if that's what you want to discuss. Even if it's to make fun of it. In fact I think it should be made fun of, along with every other sensitive subject. I don't believe people have a right to not be offended, and we shouldn't take ourselves so seriously.
I gassed the topic because Gir derailed it from being an announcement to join discord into, "Somebody hurt my feelings and I'm leaving over it. Everybody look at me leaving!" And I didn't want to give him a platform to be an attention whore, or a platform for anyone else to hurl insults when he wasn't here to defend himself.
Albino, aren't you the person who chewed someone out for spelling realize as realise just a month ago?
I think this may be the divide in the forums and the Discord, then. Sorry for overestimating that half the community.
And oh, I didn't see the first post get changed. I just saw that Gir hadn't said anything on the last page but pretty much everyone who's actually here every day did.
shhhshshshhh chill

So far in this thread the only hostile responses I've seen were from Albino taking multiple paragraphs to chew two people out. Someone who is comfortable in not censoring himself and expecting the same calmness from others obviously has more growing up to do than someone who has hissy fits back to back. Everyone has a job and has worked with impossible management or costumers who come in already angry at everybody. I hope the real world is easier than the Internet for the latter.
That being said, I don't know if the CC forums is really the best place to come for any sort of respect, much less respect that specific. I did just have it pointed out to me that this is all that people have been talking about on Discord for the last few days so I'll stop dragging it out here, too. Hopefully after this we can get back to our regularly scheduled dick sword fights and drinking shots of napalm together.
You're not supposed to call people out on weasel words. Now I see why you were banned.
That argument about text getting deleted/edited is starting to look a lot more believable
I love when there's offsite drama and it gets brought to the forums and I have no idea what the fuck anybody's talking about
j/k I hate it
I HATE IT
there is no drama here because obviously SILVERCLOCK DELETED HIS OWN POSTS DISCORD CHAT WAS AN INSIDE JOB
I HATE IT
HE HATES IT

I would like to know more about the recent CC drama events, please
ah, yes!
i dont know much about what people said, but from what i heard+saw, i believe that silver clock arrived on the discord chat, he called gir-clock with an inappropriate demonym/expression, gir-clock asked him (kindly) to stop calling him like that, silver clock acted like a buffoon, drama escalated (as usual), and silver clock got banned from the discord chat, while gir got annoyed/insulted and he left.
HOWEVER, i dare say that we shouldnt be talking about the discord chat drama events, especially since albino created THIS VERY THREAD for that reason. (in order to replace gir-clock's orginal discord chat thread, in order to avoid future conflicts/drama)
to people who dislike my explanation for the drama: im sorry, i just wanted to inform slurpee clock.
to slurpee: i hope that you are properly informed now, and i ask thee to properly defend me/ my case for making this specific post.
I didn't say that! I'll kill you you bastard!!!!
damn good use of the word "demonym" though, shit.
Gir you're such a Manitoban.
Don't you refer to me as a Manitoban you Martha's Vineyardian, I'm a Braintreenian.

silver called gir-clock with an inappropriate demonym*/expression,[...]
*i originally wanted to write ''gender based adjective'', but i prefered the much safer demonym/expression words.
(even tho 'demonym' actually means the description of a person's locality, AKA, a N.Y's demonym for a man is a new-yorker, for a man who is from texas, the demonym is texan/texian, etc etc''
its quite a shame that i did this blunder, because the word demonym is greek. from demos/δημος=county/municipality, while the word ''nym'' stands for the greek word ''onoma''/ονομα, which means ''name''.
therefore, demonym is a county/location resident's name.
yeah, i should've just written ''expression'' or ''G.B.adjective'', it would be (grammatically) better.
PS: im sad that gir left. we need good people like gir, gir is a good person.
PPS: what on earth is a braintree?
a brain tree is a scary tree with a big brain that gives you bullshit non-riddles "tell me when ____ _____ died" and you have to go visit the blue mouth monster and he'll be like "i'll give you half of the date if you bring me a scary chocolate bar" and then you have to go buy him a scary chocolate bar and bring it back and he'll be like "uh 26. now go get me a haunted pie and a ghost burger" and if those items cost more than whatever the brain tree gives you pretty much tough shit
ye but if you do brain tree, esophagor, and the witch's potion in the same day you get a bonus goodie pack that you can only get once HMM BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT YOU
