Ban for "misgendering" Venture?

[21's bitch]

Is it true you can get text/voice chat banned for this? Or we chilling?

Edit: i was really just wondering if you get banned or not, idc about politics, ig the answer is you won't get banned for it.

[Cosgar]

I hope so because it'd be really funny

It says right there, another identity. Thats the dictionary. You are saying the dictionary is wrong?

If the dictionary is wrong, what sources would you use for definitions?

I already explained to you that changing the definitions in a dictionary written in a commie college with a goal of pushing a specific agenda does not change reality. In my country and most regions of the world the two words mean the exact same thing - both in dictionaries and common language usage.

Ok, jesus. But we are not talking about your language, right? We're talking about the
english word "gender", which just does have that definition. I understand how you feel about it, but your feelings do not change facts (read: definitions)

So in a purely hypothetical scenario in a video game where an Activision Blizzard employee steals Ventures milk out of the fridge, would they be drinking breast- or cock-milk?

And in a purely hypothetical scenario in a video game where an Activision Blizzard employee engages with non-consensual intercourse with Venture, could they get them pregnant?

Don't bring Jesus into this, lol.
You know english isn't used only in your country right?
Your made up definitions aren't facts.
Are you an american?

no, im german

but the dictionary definitions are as close as we can to a fact, right? those are the universally agreed definitions for words.
as soon as you say the dictionary dont matter, i can say that the sentence "fedsfes fe ewfwsqww4t okdriwe" is a correct sentence with correct words

How do you even gender the new character? They tried SO hard to keep "it" undetectable that it hurts.

Reinhardt is he because he is a pixelated man, torb is he because he is a pixelated man, venture is she because she is a pixelated (ugly) woman.

Reinhardt is a character, written to be a man
Venture is a character, written to be non-binary.
if you are going off of physical appearance, that's not enough to be certain of their sex, they could be biologically male or intersex for all you know.

Google says non binary doesnt mean it has both penis and vagina. So its either a man or a woman. Simple as that. And venture is a woman. An ugly, mental woman.

You can get banned for saying the horrid SH word and don't even get me started with the deplorable F word.

I wake up and I swear this comment section is just pulling idiots out of the woodworks.
Sorry to inform y'all but dictionaries change all the time, gender and sex are splitting because it's more convenient to use them to describe two related things than the exact same thing.

[X Pradiator]

SHE is nice character who drill.

Youre actually thinking of sex. Definition of sex:


sex noun
1a: either of the two major forms of individuals that occur in many species and that are distinguished respectively as female or male especially on the basis of their reproductive organs and structures

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sex

Gender has following major definitions:

gender
noun

1. a group of people in a society who share particular qualities or ways of behaving which that society associates with being male, female, or another identity

2. the condition of being a member of a group of people in a society who share particular qualities or ways of behaving which that society associates with being male, female, or another identity:

3. used to refer to the condition of being physically male, female, or intersex (= having a body that has both male and female characteristics):

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/gender

So yes, by definition, gender has more than male and female. Not an opinion, but the actual definition of the word by the dictionary. You can disagree, but then you would disagree with the dictionary (and to a degree, science)

They are both the same things just with different words and have been for the entirety of human history. You changing the definitions in your made up dictionaries does not change reality. There is no scientific or psychological study that ever supports your claims. These are just made up nonsensical things that are modern ever since 5 to 10ish years in liberal colleges. And they only exist in USA and parts of western Europe. The entirety of the world knows and uses gender/sex as the exact same thing as it has been since the english language exists, lol. You are free to think whatever you want but the 99% of us normal people do not have to indulge in your delusions. Same thing with flat earth people or idk.. gender pay gap believers.

Don't bother, it's pointless arguing semantics with people who perform mental gymnastics, even if Science and common sense says otherwise.

that is my point, like I said, science evolves, also most things are toxic in excess? even water is toxic, even air kills us slowly? the whole fluoride conspiracy stuff was blown way out of proportion if memory serves.

We also live in a world that majority of scientist thought lobotomy was a morally acceptable surgery.

again, like I said, science evolves, the main difference is today we have a more globalized scientific community, information and criticism is much easier to spread, the current scientific community is more reliable than any in the past. [/quote]

Ok did you read my comments or didn't you? If in ten years countries around the world would decide to ban gender transaction surgery like they did lobotomies would you consider it science evolution or devolution?

Also by your own logic majority Doctors today say there are only two genders/sexes so you should say that there are only two genders/sexes. [/quote]

First, are you reading MY comments? My point was that if overwhelming evidence proved something has cons that outweigh the pro's then the scientific community would denounce it, the key word is overwhelming evidence, something that does not exist against hrt at this point despite decades of modern research between global scientists in the age of advanced technology information, and communication.

Second a majority of doctors think their are 2 genders?
What kind of doctors? Because specialists are going to be well aware of intersex individuals, and their opinions on a given field are the ones that matter most.
Likewise, modern gender identity falls more under sociology, anthropology, literal gender studies, etc.

Something tells me science and common sense RARELY agree with "anti-woke" conservatives.
Again, the dictionary evolves on a short timescale, the dictionary isn't biology, if you have issue with the changes, bring it up with the population that lives outside your echo chamber, normal people don't care if the dictionary becomes more effiecient.
