I have been guysplained to more times for this one post than in my whole previous history on Fedi.

If you're mad about "y'all", you missed the point of the post.

If you're looking up the etymology of "guy", you missed the point of the post.

If you're telling me that you don't think "guys" is a gendered term, you missed the point of the post.

If you're saying "dude, it's just a word", you're kind of a dick.

If you're thinking that "maybe cisheteronormative white man shouldn't be the default assumption just because they hold a disproportionate share of power and oppressors often influence language so as to make it seem like their way is the only sane way", then...damn, you were paying attention!

If you're like "omg, so much this", omg, ikr?? 🫂🫂

If you're typing out "I'll try to do better", thank you, that's all we ask 💝

@span alice here, take this template. I have a feeling some people in that reply section might need one of these awards.
A drawing of a piece of paper. It has a seal on the upper right that says “REPLY GUY” and the text “You are the proud recipient of the official ‘reply guy’ award. Judges noted that your response fulfilled the following criteria:” next to it. Below that are three checkboxes, labeled “something the poster already knows”, “missing the point of the post”, and “other (please specify):” with a blank to fill in, respectively. Below this is the text “number of people awarded the reply guy award for this post:” and a blank space where a number should be written.
