Can we all agree that calling someone bro isn't inherently a bad thing, but if you have a history of misgendering someone and you know they dislike being called bro don't do it? It's really not that hard.

This case is different only because of the preexisting history between Fire and me. He knows what makes me uncomfortable in this way and he ignores it, maybe because he does not like me and doesn't like the concept of transness.

Ah, I misunderstood the situation. Fire rage-baits. This is known. I had interpreted it as him calling a girl "bro" to make them angry and be funny. However i completely understand taking offense to what he said IF he knew you were trans, knew your gender, AND you asked him to stop. It does feel like targeted harassment in that case and I get it.

Fire was banned for one day. I think Fire will be just fine... lol

Aha! Someone else mentioned how "cunt" is a strong curse word here in the U.S. vs. outside. I applaud thee.

honestly yall missing my point.

i'm saying that sir here is the one who's wrong, not because he banned fire or tyka, even tho fire's ban could be avoided if toffee wouldn't cry about their ban. "bro" is just a parasite word, and saying once,twice or three times would make someone memorise that you don't want to be called "bro". all i'm sayin is, sir is very visible biased towards toffee here and acts not like a game developer, or face of whole toribash, he acts like a toddler who throws some joke about fire's mother and banning me from discord just because i told him to stop.

I'm not sure I could convince you, but this just isn't true. Have you seen the ban list? Bigotry is extremely common, especially in online communities. When I played, if I quickly told someone that I don't like being referred to with "he/him", I'd be called a slur more often than not. I've seen a hell of a lot of racism as well.

The reasons may feel nonsensical to you, but as someone who has suffered ill treatment for being trans or jewish both online and out in the world for decades, it's sensical and important to me. The normalization of bigotry has very obvious and serious harmful effects; would you agree?

"Bro", in this instance, was intentional misgendering.
"Cunt", in this instance, was a mean word to use, but it wasn't intentional misgendering. I use it as most of the world uses it, as gender neutral slang. If you'd like me to pick something even more gender appropriate or gender neutral, I'd be amenable.

The person who said the former is a longtime homophobe who has called me a faggot and degenerate in the past.
The person who said the latter is a trans person who has repeatedly shown care for misgendering.

I think the conclusions you draw with that information are quite telling.

Jeez toribash really do be getting intense!!
I saw what tyka said but I also didn’t see what he said because it got deleted but if you could repeat what he said maybe we can get to the bottom of it.
