people like Ellis use y’all to be gender inclusive, as alternative to you guys.
Europeans do it too. It is not going to stop so die mad about it y’all.
Adopting language is not patronizing, you’re just overly sensitive.

But what necessitates ‘y’all’ over ‘you’ here? “You’re exhausting” serves the same purpose since ‘you’ can be singular or plural. The use of y’all here is an affect.

When using language dispassionatly people naturally select words so as to reduce ambiguity.
“y’all are exhausting” and “you’re exhausting” have significantly different meanings.
Policing language on details like this is tedious and boring.

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
