photograph matthew banned a trans woman then misgendered her after asked to explain himself
yes. also ‘it’, too, but he said it was ‘the account’ he was referring to (even though an account is an extension of a person so to speak)
like if i spammed, you’d say “i banned her”, because you banned me, the person, from wasteof. my account is the means to access wasteof. he said something like “i banned it”. i’m not saying he was actually calling her it/its intentionally, it’s just a bit weird to say that specifically under the situation where getting pronouns right is quite important.
just checked the mod chat archive to make sure i’m not insane, and we’ve said “banned it”/”ban it” on multiple occasions referring to people’s accounts rather than them. i guess it’s just a mentality thing
