In case it were in any doubt, the following words are absolutely okay:

"My Sylveon is trans"
"I'm a trans Sylveon"

Your Sylveon is/you are a valid ball of pink and blue ribbons and fluff! Work to tame your inner dragons, you have type advantage. <3

Just don't make sweeping generalizations! Those are harmful to others.

The enemy of my enemy is not my friend.

@unascribed "change for the sake of change" is what 90% of redesigns feel like nowadays

@bootsy @maple I believe it was much more obviously mtf-focused when it was first becoming a thing on Tumblr a while ago

Especially because before gen6 was even out, the immediate assumption was that Sylveon was female-only there

@maple @bootsy and forcing things like that, because Sylveon as a species is like 88% male or something high like that, reads as "cute males aren't allowed to exist, if they do they're not male, they're trans"

Which is just reinforcing the binary idea of masculinity...

Please stop with "Sylveon is trans". It's enby-exclusionary and you're also reinforcing garbage gender binary stereotypes in the process.

Let cute boys exist, and stop trying to make an entire species your poster child.

@esp *hugs tight*

I feel like my feelings on this are so contrary to everybody else's and that really doesn't help the anxiety every time it pops up again tbh

@bootsy *headpatpat*

just what I needed to wake up to

god at this rate I'm going to associate sylveon with gender related stress and I don't want that

@bootsy so is this gonna become your main, now?

@Elizafox the argument is so old it's started to rust

*sleepy doggirl splays across your timeline*

@kaniini one final little thing: kline_cmd in the example config shouldn't have single quotes around it, I don't think; the single quotes wind up in the output and our IRC server didn't like them

after fixing that I got to sit back and watch the bot do its first ban. thanks <3

@kaniini likewise your script is looking for 'host' 'hostname', but the example config uses 'host' 'host'

(was wondering why it kept going to the wrong address...)

@kaniini oh, uh... your script references 'target' 'ip', but your example config uses 'target' 'host'.

@kaniini the setup for your IRC bot seems a bit weird? What exactly is the "target" host and port?

@Felthry it's okay, I just couldn't stay around, had to go back to work
