Punishments

[veltzeh]

One of my RPG characters had another one of those mental breakdowns ...sort of. Afterwards I decided to play it in a way that it wasn't that big a deal and blame the sudden fleeing on another character's (misinterpretable) actions

Thanks, that was nice to read :)

Aaaand, as always, I'm going to start an abstract discussion now :P What happens when someone else feels that you've done something wrong, but you don't? I mean, people have such different views of the world, it's bound to happen sometimes...

[veltzeh]

Yay

Picking at a tiny detail in this big discussion, in the furry fandom it's not uncommon for transgender, genderless or herms to be called hir as opposed to ‘it.’ But I know that's hardly the point of the bigger debate 8D

[veltzeh]

Yeah, I usually use the set "ey, em, eir". X) I don't yet know if that is more successful than using "it". But my fellow role-players have gotten used to them, I suppose, even if some still ignore them. >_>

[veltzeh]

Whoa. It's been a damn long time and I just now discovered that there's no reply to this comment!

...Anyway, what did you mean by that question? XD

[veltzeh]

I sort of have the feeling we've gone through this a lot, actually. XD

To me "he" sounds like forcing male on something, so it's just as bad. :P Of course, biology sort of is on the female side there, since female is the base form and all.
Anyway, I use the "ey, em, eir" set. That's the most natural one in my opinion.

In Finnish we call even people colloquially "it". If someone uses "hän" (ey!) of an animal, it's weird, I look down on it and it shouldn't be used in official text and so on. I usually do it similarly in English unless the sex of the animals is relevant.

I just don't understand why some people like to refer to their genitals when speaking of them. I mean, ew.

[veltzeh]

Oops... damn English. What I wanted to say was: I don't understand why some languages think it fitting to refer to a person's external sexual characteristics when using a pronoun of em. That, to me, is very rude. I don't like my genitals to be spoken to, I rather the people talking to ME

Dude! Sorry to hear you've been hitting a rough patch. Please PLEASE get your MSN working - it's the only thing I can use at work and I practically live there(!). O_o Really do miss an occasional chat. Hmm..

Be well. : )

NN

[veltzeh]

Actually I haven't, it just made me thinking and I wrote that stuff. X) Well, the latter part did happen lately but it wasn't that bad.

Anyway... I finally bothered to go to gaim's homepage and download the updates and as a result my MSN protocol is online again!
