I'm not really commenting on Cannoli's post.... Jeordam Send a noteboard - 13/11/2018 09:20:13 PM

just kind of pointing out the fact that we call people "It" all the time. I had one specific example that was applied to the two different mindsets of the speaker. One was used out of ambiguity, while the other was to dehumanize. The difference was the intent of the speaker.

This is exactly why the knee-jerk response was so amusing. damookster - 13/11/2018 01:18:28 AM 534 Views
I think you could argue it's surprisingly apt. TheCrownless - 13/11/2018 01:31:37 AM 565 Views
I think for once you were unfairly called out on this based on your "history" TheCrownless - 13/11/2018 01:26:41 AM 586 Views

I don't know what's so hard to understand about this. You don't refer to people by 'it'. Legolas - 13/11/2018 08:09:34 AM 518 Views
People are refered to by "it" all the time.... Jeordam - 13/11/2018 05:26:33 PM 520 Views

Your second example rather proves my point, don't you think? Legolas - 13/11/2018 07:50:39 PM 507 Views

FWIW mine was concerning ambiguity Cannoli - 13/11/2018 11:01:03 PM 535 Views
Okay, sure. Legolas - 13/11/2018 11:26:58 PM 543 Views

I think I mostly covered that above, but I can recap. Legolas - 14/11/2018 08:02:51 AM 522 Views

Sure, I agree. Legolas - 14/11/2018 07:45:58 AM 528 Views
Aran'gar does not, and doesn't have to represent, trangender people for your usage to be wrong fionwe1987 - 13/11/2018 03:21:42 PM 532 Views
Except that it isn't a person, it is a character in a book HyogaRott - 14/11/2018 02:57:12 PM 512 Views
