While it is true that everyone is entitled to their opinions, expressing them in a way that is hurtful or harmful towards a particular group of people is not acceptable.<br />Secondly, you acknowledge making mistakes in your communication and generalizing certain groups of people, but you also suggest that innocent people have been insulted due to your lack of clarity. This implies that the harm caused by your statements is not entirely your fault, which is not a responsible or genuine apology.<br />Thirdly, you use language barriers as an excuse for not being clear enough in his communication. While it is true that language barriers can cause confusion, it is still your responsability is to make sure that your statements are not hurtful or harmful to any particular group of people.<br /><br />FURTHERMORE:<br />It is true that German, like many other languages, does not have a widely accepted non-binary pronoun. However, it is important to note that there are efforts underway to introduce new pronouns in the German language that are gender-neutral, such as "xier" and "si" Additionally, some non-binary people in German-speaking countries may use pronouns such as "they/them" in English or other gender-neutral pronouns from other languages, or may choose to use no pronouns at all.<br />While you may have experienced difficulty in differentiating between the terms "gender" and "sex" due to the lack of differentiation in the German language, it is still important to recognize and respect diverse gender identities and experiences. Using appropriate pronouns and language is one way to demonstrate respect for people of all gender identities, and there are resources available for those who are unfamiliar with or uncertain about gender-neutral language. <br />You can clearly see the result of your inaction in the comments of this statement, People calling each other "Trannies" using dog whistles for various calls to violence. If you are honestly sorry, pull yourself up by your boot straps, issue an honest apology and clean up your comments. As for the nerds who are going to try and start shit with me, sorry I triggered you, Loser. :^)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2001894160739107360.post-92101705634601497072022-05-31T15:17:42.189+02:002022-05-31T15:17:42.189+02:00The problem is that what we generally interact wit...The problem is that what we generally interact with others based on our history, knowledge, personality and a million different factors so we do not come as blank slates. Whenever we approach a new person - we do not know anything about them as they do not about us. We navigate new situations based on the past thus folks declaring their pronouns probably do that because it had been an issue before. Or it is simply important to them such as introducing yourself with a name which we all do anyway. To me, there is basic notions that make people ... well people that cannot be questioned unless it is by them themselves so it is not for me to judge their gender expression (and same to them). But, subjectively and internally of course I will judge because we are judgemental creatures by nature so if my judgement is wrong and I incorrectly assumed someone is a man or a woman - I'd be grateful for correction albeit it is my mistake and not on them to correct it. I do get what you mean by people narrowing you to a certain box but the box is still here and will not vanish. <br /><br />Sorry to use disability as an example again but it is useful as I have a visible one so it serves as a great comparison. If I meet anyone new - they clearly see my general shape and state of me and make assumptions which is normal because I do same. If I request them to move to the side because of my wheelchair and them being in a doorframe or such - them going "this is not the best theoretical use of the push-buggy-thingy" would make me double check and tell them to stay out of it as it is not a discussion subject. Then, if they go making rounds and analysing my use of the wheelchair and how they should or should not respond to me or if my reaction was ridiculous - I will not sit there and be a decoration ornament. <br /><br />In other words - in your post you acknowledge that people see things different than you but at the same time - you say that all experiences are the same when they are really not and should not be. Your opinion of gender is valid for you but others might see it differently. As someone who likes English because it can be neutral and I do not have to accidentally assume the car is a lady while the owner insists it is a boy. My German skills are almost vanished as never practiced but my Polish skills make me regret learning it as the floor is a woman while the ceiling is gender-neutral. You mentioned your problem with pronouns stemming from linguistic differences and as you see - some actually like it different and again - it is fine. I knew women who were much older than me and opted to use the 'transvestite' or 'crossdresser' terms while being neither but growing up with these words. <br /><br />I guess, I like diversity of opinions so having some snuffed out makes it feel like I warped to Poland and got dragged into the deep dungeon of alt-right. I know it is not your intent but I tend to look at what people say as a bigger picture forming from media, interactions and whatnot they consume. Currently, the trend of calling people out on mistakes is labled as cancelling and I am going to assume the person sharing screenshots of that talk was just annoyed and wanted someone to be annoyed with them. But people change and grow so no one really is ever canceller, right? Nor is any social norm or interpretation etched in stone therefore - current banhammer on questioning history or culture because it is supposed part of some woke agenda is ... the same old song of people in power wishing everyone divided to rule them easier. <br /><br />I guess we agree to disagree but I wish people still seen disagreements as enrichening.Valentinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01760214518583047981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2001894160739107360.post-35443241788021520662022-05-31T12:36:50.929+02:002022-05-31T12:36:50.929+02:00Well technically my PoV doesn't matter.

If their first approach consists of immediately slapping me their pronouns into my face i will treat them as such, meaning as idiot. Your gender, religion, ethnicity or anything like that should not be your first word and neither the first thing about you, ever. It is simply reducing people to just that, it's the same as someone approaching me and immediately starting the conversation with "Furry", what follows is almost never good.NiranV Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02599413268681962701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2001894160739107360.post-55865082124291429042022-05-27T02:48:36.498+02:002022-05-27T02:48:36.498+02:00He's not wrong, he simply has a different PoV....He's not wrong, he simply has a different PoV.

It can be your ethnicity, your culture, your religion, your experiences in life, your hobbies, your political agenda and so on. However, while some invite discussion such as sharing elements of your culture or debating politics - others do not, such as ethnicity (which could be a complex and mixed one but generally we relate to it on a basic level), gender, sexual orientation and so on. Questioning people on things deeply personal to them and undermining them is pretty nasty and I get you were not trying to do so but at the same time, you are not replying to inexcusable troll comments. <br /><br />You say that it is because you do not recognise gender as a part of a person which is fine as long as you apply it to just yourself as we all have different ideas on how gender works for us and how we use it to react with others. Let me present you with an example that serves as an equivalent for me and just me. I was born severely disabled and still am - to me it is an essential part of my identity that greatly influences how I interact with others. In theory, you could say disability is created by society not adapting to different people, therefore, creating the problem but this would just be your interpretation. To question if someone is disabled, and ponder how they should properly express it is nefarious. This is exactly how it is with gender - to view others through your theory is disrespecting people's wishes because I certainly do not wish to be seen as genderless and me being a gay bloke is also a big part of me. You can express your beliefs on your ID and EGO (of the philosophical kind) and wonder if it applies to others and respectfully discusses it saying your version works for you and you want to hear how others see it. <br /><br />I understand you did not wish to create conflict but you inspired others to do so it seems. Apologies are unnecessary if you actually realise you are in the wrong and change. The best saying I know is that we as humans are have free will as long as our will does not breach other person's freedom.

Me treating everyone equally regardless of gender, race, sexuality or whatever is more than they will ever get from most people so i don't understand what they still want, if anything this behavior only makes me treat them like lesser people (given they do it enough). Essentially the post boils down to "i don't care what you are and i'm sorry for anyone i might have accidentally dragged into this who isn't part of the toxic part of the community (in other words the aforementioned people that go about their life)" regardless of them being "good" people they might still have felt insulted which wasn't my intend, i was solely sharing my opinion on a topic that came up.<br /><br />I agree it is sad that i even came to write this post in the first place but i agreed with my users that it would be the best to clarify my intends so everyone can build their opinion on that rather than some twitter trash screenshots.NiranV Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02599413268681962701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2001894160739107360.post-34467120667913253952022-04-11T17:04:05.429+02:002022-04-11T17:04:05.429+02:00"Right, because 'opinions that invalidate..."Right, because 'opinions that invalidate people's existence' is totally and socially acceptable." you are so sick and weak that needs someone else validation.

No teacher is obligated using them or else. US is full of psychologically challenged people. Crystal feelings. In this internet you definitely won't find a speach that is comfortable for every netizen. So I wonder WHY you respond to those sick (yes, sick) people. That way you encourage their problem, and it is a problem what they have. You don't have it in your country, and many people use SL, that has many cultures and languages, so don't mind those few that try to rotten the rest and make so much noise that looks like they are much more than what they really are. Just a few crystal special feelings people. <br />Again, please don't mind them and go on with your life, create good stuff and be happy, because you won't make happy the rest, specially that rest. <br />Please don't mind what they say about you.

I was having some issues with things that seemed exclusive to his viewer and sent him a random IM and expecting an eventual realy or maybe a referral to a webpage. <br /><br />Within minutes i got a "hello" and Niran asked to be TP's to me. Having been entrained by his ranting over the years i was thinking "oh no! here it comes!" To the contrary. Niran was very polite and i would dare say even sweet in his effort to help what actually turned out to be an issue I was creating, not his viewer. After resolving the issue, Niran actually stated around and educated me, showing me things like wireframing my Mesh body and letting me see the strains that it put on rendering. He was polite , helpful and very friendly. He provided much more help than i have ever received from a Linden - a group i pay monthly for a little help!<br /><br />Two important things to consider about this meeting. One, my avi was clearly a female with male "parts" and Niran made no distinguishing remarks and in no way treated me in a way he would treat anyone else. Second, Niran clearly knew my name at the time because I had been complaining about him forever (and still do) because he keeps the linden amount hidden in the inventory window on his viewer. Which I still say is stupid and should at least be an option damnit! None of my previous negative comments on this issue kept Niran from being professional and kind towards me. Any claim that is bias toward any gender, sex or specie is complete total bullshit! I also one to bop him on the head when he argues that the Sl viewer should work like a video game viewer. However I am currently not make a viewer of my own and Niran is, so Niran wins.<br /><br />Is Niran a little "crazy"? Yes. I love his rants and look forward to his blog posts where he says exactly what he thinks when he is frustrated over what he views as bad or lazy design. Clearly he LOVE his viewer project and he takes it serious, and he does not have much tolerance for other non related BS. He will treat you exactly as you treat him, and if you come at him with snide comments, prefer for what you get.<br /><br />Also, I have seen Niran attacked SO HARD in so many forums, from the old SL Universe forum, the Firestorm Forum and now, even on his own Discord which HE makes available. Niran is a nice person ,but he does not suffer fools lightly and he is not above standing up for himself and confess, i get a humorous kick watching him get so exasperated as he is trying his best to explain his point with people who have no interesting in hearing him.<br /><br />Also, Niran's point about his being very native German speaker with a rudimentary basic grasp of English is a legitimate point. Trying to express a delicate point or opinion in a language is not your own, is like walking through a mind field and i dare say that some of his english speaking critics could not do half as good in German as Niran does in English. Again, it come down to Niran makes the fucking effort!<br /><br />Niran, to you i say keep being your crazy, genius self. Don't let the bastards get you down and thank you for being willing to share YOUR viewer with the public - for free! You are still kind of a dick for hiding the linden amount in the invetory window but, after have observed all the BS personal attacks on you over years and years, I want to announce that i am becoming a patreon support of the viewer. it is money i really don;t have but it is high time we ALL realsied that there is no legitimate reason for anyone to be using this viewer for free and not giving something back. The silly BS that Niran has to put up just to make his viewer the way he would like, and the added stress he gets form making it available to us merits some support.<br /><br />-Soda-noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2001894160739107360.post-61450139575680750992022-01-27T10:06:19.357+01:002022-01-27T10:06:19.357+01:00"I'm sorry if anyone looked up to me, i&#..."I'm sorry if anyone looked up to me, i'm really not a person to look up to."<br /><br />Then shut the fuck up.

Delete my comments for all I care, if you want to actually have some credibility? Take accountability instead of being a transphobic nazi apologist piece of shit that probably should've been the load that was swallowed.<br /><br />But keep on with your high horse delusions. I'll wait until you actually have something of substance, of matter to say. Until then, we won't have a conversation and I'll continue to call you what you are;<br /><br />A transphobic nazi piece of shit who's too chickenshit to take accountability into their own hands. But for one as limited as you, I'm not surprised.

You seem incapable of understanding how this works, which is surprising given that you 'develop' things. It's a shame you can't do that with a personality, but given what else many have shared about you, it's not surprising.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2001894160739107360.post-62873121577488862662022-01-26T19:31:16.168+01:002022-01-26T19:31:16.168+01:00What transphobic shit?

The people insulting back after being insulted from people like you? Just because you call it transphobe doesn't make it transphobe.<br /><br />Given that some comments are very questionable, I could say the same about basically every single comment of yours. If I had to remove anything even "remotely transphobe" by your definition I'd have to remove the entire conversation and lock comments. I deliberately chose not to lock comments on this blog post because as I stated I'm open for discussion. Deleting or locking comments would be extremely hypocritic, since I said I won't censor, I'm not public media. Not to mention locking comments is exactly what you'd want isn't it? So you can say oh look Niran locks comments so no one can say anything bad!NiranV Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02599413268681962701noreply@blogger.com
