what
my goodness, what happened here?
damn it
it was just people arguing
you typed "?purge987654321" or something
how is that an accident?
/nm
is there a way to undo it?
no
which one?
all I really saw before it got deleted was someone pointing out that @wise halo was being toxic
which was what it was before anyway
There were more people being toxic
yeah, I was catching up, then it all got deleted
but why did so many people have to come here just to argue about pronouns?

I got misgendered when I was going by my birth pronouns, and I did not like it one bit
rip
and I don't want to imagine how other people feel
if you don't mind, what exactly were they arguing about?
Coming back to this forum to say I’m really sorry everyone! I didn’t mean for that to happen
it's fine
why is there six mods and two staff members following this thread
I have no idea
I actually feel really bad because there was actually very good ideas in the forum. people creating ideas and making concept and actually could’ve been made an reality.
If you do want to repost any concept you had posted from before you can. I’m truly sorry
@covert moat, do you still have the picture?
thanks!
I'm not sure what else there was
I think there was some talk of adding the flags there too
and a toggle button in the watch menu
I sorta feel disgusted but yet greatful
?
It shows pronouns, something I hate most
Might as well make my pronouns potato/swiss cheese
why?
you used 2 pronouns in that sentence
Yeah! From what I can recall
- Toggle Button to put your pronouns under your name
-Adding PRIDE badges to the name tag
That’s very disrespectful. Please don’t make those comments.
Definitely disrespectful
How is it disrespectful as you claim?
what's your problem with pronouns
because you're making a joke of it
THE NAMETAG WOULD BE TO MESSY IF THE ADDED PRONOUNSSSSSZzsss

that was still happening?
Ye
That's also why I don't want it added
@dawn moon
it wouldn't be messy at all if they did it like how this mockup is
What happened
everything
kids arguing about gay and trans
Bruh
More than everything is happening at once
All those messages
probably little kids too young for Discord
Killed by a train
💀
kids arguing about based and based
Yo can I post a not related image in here?
being trans or gay makes you sexy
exactly
exactly
what is that? /j
all the cute girls are trans
sure?
all the sexy boys are trans
true
one google search will tell you that those are gender neutral pronouns.
i could understand the whole "nametag would be too messy" point but it seriously seems like people are only agreeing with that point because they're against pronouns in general. live and let live.
ur local trans male with very high pitched voice 😳
i mean just dont make the nametag too big honestly if i get misgendered i simply dont care but i understand if people need it
I punch rl squeakers, it helps them get their normal voice back 
wow violence
even when I was using my birth pronouns I would get misgendered, and I would get mad, so it's hard for me to understand not caring about that
Also a reason to why the whole pronouns things under ur name tag is a bad idea is due to how many people disrespect people for gender
like you
I'm not that bad on rec room
leave it optional then. people who are uncomfortable with displaying their pronouns shouldn't have to.
and like I said, just add a toggle button
Good idea right here
that's even better than my idea
playing with my moms hairs stuck to the wall while i rant here
Sorry, I'm sorta blind
😂
YoU lIkE pIlLs¿
ThErE fReE
i like vitamin d pills they keep me stable<3 (for now)
also, why are people so opposed to pronouns?
and if we were to live without them, life would be difficult
yes
just imagine school "teacher would like class to hand in homework"
Teachers tell us to use common sense, yet they don't use it when it comes to an argument that the student is correct in 😔
i ask the same question but there's never a decent answer
nice pronoun usage
I actually want pronouns like potato/union to exist
@dawn moon
Don't know why, and don't want to know why, my brains refusing to tell me anyway.
bro
Wth.
Nerdy apple
dies
Bing
this is just no longer about pronouns
😎
i think being able to swap your cheer badge out for one of the pride badges would be a neat addition as well.
concept below v
ooo
it wouldn't add more clutter and since cheer badges aren't very important anyways, being able to switch between the two makes sense.
yeah
Ngl that's pretty smart
made a few adjustments. added a backdrop to the flag and made it so the pronouns somewhat match the name. thoughts?
looks good 👍

It depends for me I dont care but for other people they could
very well done
I reckon it might make it too cluttered. Your pronouns and sexuality are more something people who want to know you should know, having everyone’s pronouns and sexualities displayed for everyone to see all the time would get confusing for alot of people.
I agree wit that
confusing how exactly?
Oh hecc, i didn’t realise this was in the feedback channel, just heard about it and thought it was interesting
Information overload
That sounds way more intense than i mean it to
For people who are already really into all the LGBT+ stuff it may be easier to take in, but for those who aren’t as into it all it just makes it a bunch of extra information they may never need. If they wanna properly talk to a person they’ll likely check the person’s profile and see it there, having it on display all the time may make people feel like it’d be difficult to the person since even before knowing them there seem to be these rules set out for them
It might be lovely for people with a less common gender or sexuality, but for others it’s just more information they feel they’re supposed to take in for a person they might never even see again
Not that the idea of it isn’t good, it’s good for people to be more aware of it, but those people need to make themselves more aware of it. If they didn’t want to remember the person’s gender and sexuality before they probably won’t want to if it’s shoved in their face either (not that this would be as intense as shoving it in their face, but i can’t think of a milder version of that idiom 😅)
that's fair
someone’s sexuality and identity is something you should look for yourself but pronouns are a must since it’s how you’ll be referring to that person
yes!
you're not going to refer to everybody you see
I want people to know my pronouns but I don't need them above my head
It's like walking out on the street in real life with your pronouns taped to your chest on a large sign
nobody will ever use it but they will see it
and if they want your pronouns they can just ask
like how in recroom you can just click on their profile without needing to ask, so it's more convenient in recroom than real life already
quality of life
since you talk to people a lot more often in rec room then you do irl you’ll only notice the small text with their pronouns when you’re close enough to talk to them.
and again, optionally.
i don’t get why you’re so adamant on this not being added, do you LIKE misgendering people every day?
optional doesn't matter because:
A - I still want my pronouns but I don't want them above my head
B - Other people can still put pronouns above their head and I don't have an option to stop them
Also what is the point of putting pronouns above you when you can't put your flag above you?
people might assume I'm trans
so you literally just want to silence someone’s comfort so you can do an extra step which is opening their profile
it’s such a good idea to add pronouns so people don’t have to put it i. there usernames but i don’t get why you’re so adamant on not having it
what comfort? Do we live in a society where people feel uncomfortable because there aren't people's pronouns floating above their head?
also like I said before, the pronouns "they/them" should work for every gender regardless
i know this is a very foreign concept but have you considered people are uncomfortable getting misgendered every day
well they have some sort of rare mental disorder because that makes no sense
what the fuck
If somebody comes up and assumes I'm a woman I wouldn't care
dude
It's no big deal
not the end of the world
Just correct them and there problem solved
you aren’t trans so you can’t really speak for them by saying that getting uncomfortable when getting misgendered is mental disorder territory
let me tell you, it makes you feel sad for like an hour afterwards i hate it when people think i’m a man.
so recroom has to stop what they're doing and add this update for everyone because it hurts your feelings
not just for me
how do you think people's feelings don't get hurt in the real world?
why do you think people are asking for this feature in the first place?
because it’s affected them too.
God should add an update where it shows pronouns above your head in real life so people don't get their "feelings hurt"
@covert moat i summon thee, trans icon to try to explain why this would be a good idea to add.
i’m getting more braindead by the minute trying to converse here
great, just ping people who are probably in the middle of something now
people part of the lgbt community will support ANYTHING that has to do with pronouns for some reason
if they were suggesting that you had to vomit your pronouns every day I'm sure lots of people will support that
imo i agree with ijustreturn in the fact that
people should be able to deal with minor problems like being misgendered without causing anything huge. in life, people aren't always perfect, and you just have to deal with that sometimes
as long as we don't have pride flag and cheer badges at the same time on the name tag, i think pronouns on the name will be OK
YAS
being misgendered is only made a huge thing because people do it frequently, it’s just really upsetting when someone does it and adding this would prevent that.
tbh- some people have body dysmorphia (me) so getting misgendered could trigger them (also me)
I swear no one clicks on my profile to see my pronouns. Even if “ijustreturn” and the other people SAY they will, doesn’t mean they ACTUALLY will.
And for the 17736268th time, as a trans male with a female voice, i get misgendered a lot.
I dont understand how it makes the nametag “cluttered” apart from these people are trolling or are mad that the nametags changed already.
It would really help a lot of people
if someone’s doing it frequently you can get mad about that (trust me, i did once) but it happening once hits hard
these are the same people who complained about the implementation of pride and pronoun flags, btw.
you can start to see a pattern after a while
Yeah
IJustReturn also disapproves of basically everything that they change
ah
Y’all are both way too feisty to be giving opinions on this. You’re both on the side of “having pronouns is okay” the only disagreeance here is how much you each think someone’s pronouns being known matters. Both sides are valid, it can be nice for some people to make others more aware of their pronouns, but it can also be nice to not HAVE to see everyone’s pronouns so often. The only time pronouns have ever been useful to those who they aren’t referring to, is before people paid attention any more than just he/him, she/her, they/them. It is to help people learn a person’s sex without actually having to BE there themselves. In addition to these, neopronouns exist to help people identify their own gender. Moreso to make them feel comfortable than because it’s helpful to know what a person’s gender is. This whole argument boils down to how comfortable and not inconvenient can we allow people who are genderfluid or nonbinary or whatever else to be, without making those who aren’t, more uncomfortable and inconvenienced than they are.
Everyone’s still figuring shit out, that is THE point of gender identity, to better understand yourself. And it’s hard for the information that could help that to be of any use when its meaning gets lost in a ton of bickering. Literally all that’s left to do once you know both sides accept the LGBT+, is figure out how best to make things fair for both sides.
👌
my guy
are you a Skyrim npc
and what's the issue with that
it'd be better than being misgendered all things considered
and even if it was in the game it would be toggleable
exactly
i'm not sure why or how you can be so up in arms about a OPTIONAL QOL feature that wouldn't harm you whatsoever if you just turned it off
Yeah
I honestly am not sure what to think about on this /g
I’m all for it, but at the same time— if they could find a way to have it LOOK ok, or have it to where it can be turned on and off (possibly on both sides?) then that would be nice
Like the same thing as being able to turn off seeing nametags
yeah
jussy made a edit of my mockup, i think this looks alright and not cluttered
Yes
dammit
owned
i saw every single person ive seen whos openly homophobic or misgenders on purpose sounds like they're nine 💀
because they are
true.
Maybe you could add up to three pride flags on there
yeah
Like split the circley thingy
split circle thingy would work
zoey so op in here
nah but pronouns on the name tag would be cool, not sure if i'd use it cause the profile has em
zoey is the ultimate trans icon after all
iconic in this discord, in league its me ;)
nice miu profile pic btw
It also shows a flag icon to show who you’re partied with
Yeah that shows what colour their party is, but a little a flag appears where the RR+ icon would be to help quickly indicate they’re in your party
that would be nice
Nono that’s a thing already
I think the whole pronouns-in-title thing would be okay if it was toggleable, but not in the way you’s have suggested. I’d wanna toggle being able to see them. There’s nothing wrong with getting someone’s gender wrong. Literally nothing about a person’s personality and behaviour is a surefire indicator of which gender they are so it should be expected that people get it wrong sometimes. I know it wouldn’t be intentional for alot of people but it’s really unhealthy in alot of cases that being misgendered is supposedly so deeply stressful or hurts so much. Guesswork is an incredibly important part of socialising. When i was younger there were several instances where people thought i was a girl because of my long hair but never took offence to it at all because i know those people weren’t TRYING to take a jab at me, it was a simple mistake. I know others might not take it so easily but when something offends someone unintentionally and doesn’t want to, it’s fixed by either one side being more mindful, or the other side being more resilient. I reckon the mindfulness starts becoming too unfair for it to be reasonable, when you have to learn the pronouns and sexuality of every single person you meet that you may or may not talk to.
There’s nothing wrong with getting someone’s gender wrong.
some people would disagree
That’s where the problem lies.
so you're saying it lies with most of, if not all of the trans community
The LGBT+ is who it’s about
Doesn’t make it anyone’s fault in particular since as i’ve said before, everyone’s just figuring shit out
but there comes a point where the amount of stuff those who aren’t suuuper knowledgable on it all have to remember can become stressful for them too.
Mans a whole ass novel writer
sorryyyyy, i like typing 😆
tldr
It’s important to find balance between doing as much for those who are nonbinary or genderfluid or whatever else, as we do for those who aren’t or aren’t knowledgable on it.
There’s nothing wrong with getting someone’s gender wrong
this can be rather subjective depending on who you are talking to
yeah
I agree
gender dysphoria sucks. simply put
some have it bad, some have it worse
and some don't entirely
from one Google search, it sounds like it
That’s true. My problem with it is that i have balls memory when i have to remember lots of different things. I often forget everyone’s gender when i’m expected to remember lots of them, but have an ok time with it when i’m only expected to remember the pronouns of those that i talk to. I don’t mean to disregard the feelings of anyone that may have gender dysphoria but my brain literally works in the opposite way, having to remember more makes me remember significantly less. And i believe there are more people out there with bad memories like that, than people with gender dysphoria. We’ll definitely TRY to get it right, absolutely!! But it just can’t be helped when we don’t, and so if it’s going to happen anyways then it’s thoughtful to try and encourage an environment where people truly believe that it’s okay to be accidentally misgendered. It can’t be forced to work that way just as those who experience gender dysphoria can’t be forced to NOT have gender dysphoria, so it’s important to take lots of little steps towards that kind of environment.
also i dunno how readable some of my stuff is, i’m running on late and very little sleep
fucking God i did it again, beeeeeeg essay-length message 🥲
Jesus
TL;DR: people with bad memory try to get people's genders right, but it can be hard when there's so much to remember. and we should have a society where it's ok to accidentally misgender someone
there ya go
i understand the overall point of "accidents happen" but.. this concept is helpful against the highlighted bit
But seeing it under everyone’s will make me forget, even if it’s there. When i talk to someone i don’t want to have to be reading their label all the time
Hence the proposed toggle
thank you, i suck at summarising 🥲
I like making things easier for others
But everyone’s been suggesting a toggle that turns off your own one. What i was saying is i want one that toggles your ability to see this extra information.
I was thinking we should add both
just what i was about to say
personal toggle in profile settings, and then visual settings has the overall toggle
yeah
ye, that’d be much better than just the personal toggle
A rare opportunity where I get to post.. this
very rare
sorry, i kinda got the idea in my head that it was either one or the other; both is absolutely better
always
Probably from reading about the more heated arguments that were deleted before
yeah
The only arguments I'm super passionate about are calling out the blatant bigotry in this forum and the 'more pride things' rr-discussion forum
Never watched the movie, love the GIFs and images that have come out of it regardless 😆
yes
They literally started on the same side, and things just got more and more separated as the fight raged on
is it the one, I can't remember the name, ||the one where they guy is a llama|| (possible spoiler)
what's it called?
different movie
and also, what's this one from?
you're thinking of 'emperor's new groove', that's 'the road to el dorado'
yes 👏 that's the name
thanks!
I've never seen the second one
the artstyles look very similar (to me)
noooooooo
yeah no um getting misgendered triggers some people so
im so dead
having pronouns in the nametag just gets rid of a massive headache
but for people who don’t know what that is, it gets very confusing
how do you not know what pronouns are
I’m saying that for people that are new to the game seeing everyone’s pronouns and pride flags and all that unnecessary shit on someone’s nametag, it will get very confusing
by unnecessary shit, I mean party color, room status, rr plus sign, cheer badges, etc
b r u h
if someone can’t tell what a pronoun is they shouldn’t be communicating in the game
How would you not know what pronouns are💀
Even if you don’t they’re very self explanatory
They can get confusing for people
Unless it’s like cxa zro or one of those
in what world is a basic part of the english language confusing
Do u mean like ppl w multiple?
xir/xe is now a part of English language?
yeah
Oh
@deep stone this is the only time (other than English class) where it would be confusing
Yeah that makes sense
Neopronouns, yeah, but the basics (she/he/they) being confusing makes no sense
true
Yes
ok but seeing xir/xe/zir/they everywhere would get confusing for people new to the whole neopronoun thing
google is also your friend :)
Most people don’t have those
that's good, because I still don't fully understand 😅
And even if you don’t know what they are their username is still there
it would still be confusing for newer people :> also what if they’re shy and don’t wanna talk to random people
Then they won’t need pronouns
my point being :3
the first one doesn’t apply and google doesn’t explain it as well as a person would
google literally gives you the best answer in under 5 seconds
this whole discussion is pointless rec room doesn’t care about their community anyways why are we still here
Bcs controversy
ikr
oh no! my point is crumbling time to pull out the "rec room doesn't care about their community card"!
XD
oh no! I can’t come up with anything original
and my point is true anyways
rr doesn’t give 2 shits about us
why did you start backtracking tho
like. look at how fast you were to change the point
because this whole discussion IS useless and I lose brain cells every time I post
that's your fault then.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I can’t remember the last time I met someone that uses neopronouns so your “seeing them everywhere” point is really just not true
That’s YOUR experience not mine or any other person.
As I said, the whole discussion is pointless anyways so what does it matter
what about the discussion is pointless
The fact that rec room isn’t gonna do anything the community asks for
ok, name 5 people you know that use neopronouns
Ngl, I’ve never met someone who Unironically had neo pronouns selected
can I ping them or what?
I've only ever met someone with all pronouns selected, and when I kindly asked why, they said "why not? XD"
@deep stone uses neopronouns
and I know many people on rr that use it too
k
im not gonna bother listing them but you get the point
To be honest people that say that Rec Room doesn't care about the community, probably never check up on Rec Room's posts or keynotes, if they didn't care we wouldn't be getting Rec Room Studio's
If they cared, we would have less bugs and they would actually listen to us instead of adding stuff no one asked for
Yeah I say they don’t care as a joke
very cluttered
how in the world is that cluttered?
idk the whole disucsion pointless ew
The pride flag in there is dumb imo
I think it looks nice
I don’t
your opinion
Good
atleast its not like roblox (i feel disturbed comparing them with eachother)
True true
Also Rec Room does update their bugs but they also make more in the meantime
That's quite literally just programing in a nutshell 
you'd be right until you saw this and remembered all the things they've done relating to the merch booth and the markup prices on pride month items
yooo where is that from?
I feel like that last sentence is just a pure lie
it does, why would someone not want it unless they don't support the LGBTQ+ community
oh my god it’s a
remember the $30 necklace?
they really need to stop
that's worse
People still buy it
The community keeps buying so rec room doesn’t need to care
💀
random skull emoji
Remember when they reminded 5 whole 3-piece sets from the store that weren’t limited items just so they could put it into a single bundle??
And not you can’t get them at all. I understand they need money to please their investors but that one was too far for me
Most people only want the gloves, then they made it that to get ANY of the pieces, you needed to buy ALL of the pieces
and now they’re all gone
What
Yeah they fr were like “they were always limited time”🤓
It was only in the store for like several months
hang on i have something for this
Not one of the places it was announced or even featured said or implied it was supposed to be limited time. Plus they don’t bring back limited items for a bundle THAT soon after they left the store.
YES THEY SHOULD
No idea, i just love the skit. I mean, i bought every item in the set purely out of nostalgia but this was before it was turned into a bundle. I know RR needs money to please their investors, but removing 15 items from the store at once that were meant to be permanent items to make it a bundle where you’re forced to buy all of it or none is pretty bad in my eyes. I also have mixed feelings about the amulet. The amulet itself is fine even if it apparently provides advantages to people and costs so much, but the fact that it was made limited time is what gets me. I seriously hope RR isn’t trying to condition us into “you should probably buy it, just in case”
beautiful-
