You're the only person that said that. Quit gatekeeping.

Right, I was disagreeing with them on those points.

Intentionally misgendering is offensive, but that's not what happened here, in my opinion. There's nothing in their profile so sure going neutral with they/them is probably a safer option, but defaulting to male pronouns (which traditionally are all encompassing) is also fine, IMO. If they had a preference that they cared about then they would specify it.

I reflexively downvote any comment that begins with "I mean".

~~They come up a sewer pipe and then walk around looking for food in the kitchen. Bad combo.~~

EDIT: I got caught up responding to what I considered misinformation while not addressing the question that was asked.

That's why I'm here. No clue what I even did wrong. Wild guess is that it was from editing a post that contained a pastebin link to code I was asking a question about. But whatever the reason, this place is actually kinda nice. I did manage to revive a throwaway Reddit account I once made, so I guess I could go back, but haven't really felt the need.

According to researchers of Christianity, Mary would have been around 12 to 14. And obviously there would have been a massive power imbalance between her and a deity. So by modern standards, Mary could not consent and was sexually abused. And then of course he left her to raise Jesus, his bastard child. All Christians essentially worship a child rapist. I'm not religious, but I like to think that god hasn't returned because the other gods have him serving time.

Mental checks sound good in theory, but such things are actually counterproductive. People actively avoid getting help if they think they might get in trouble because of it. Also, mental health is not a scientific and solved field. It's highly subjective. Your mental health requirement would almost certainly result in more deaths, including suicides, by people who were afraid to go to therapy.
