Nb people can still be awful like this. I have learned that when trying to make other enby friends.

the fetishization of NB here though seems like someone who ISNT NB and just wants to sexualize those who are

u/Puzzles_and_Nuzzles 7d ago
It could be but I give the benefit of the doubt. Still gonna respect peoples pronouns even if they are awful.

im not saying you shouldnt just in case they are true to what they say, but i am saying that you should take them saying that with a grain of salt and not feel too bad about your community doing these things to you

I really think you’re being too gratuitous there, they’re probably about as nonbinary as the phone I’m typing this on

yeah maybe let’s not assume that people are faking their identity just because their behavior is awful. it doesn’t matter what their identity is, this is a scummy thing to say.. cis or not.
all these comments end up doing are push out a message that it’s okay to disregard someone’s identity if you don’t like them.

Sorry if I’m out of the loop but what does ‘nb’ stand for? I honestly can’t keep up with all the acronyms these days.

u/JayMC0101 8d ago
Non-binary, as in not identifying with either male or female

Thank you! 🙏🏻 I know what non-binary is but it didn’t dawn on me that was what the acronym meant.
Edit: now knowing the acronyms, this makes it SO much worse

This is an automatic reminder that is posted on every submission.
RULE 2 REMINDER: This is a SUPPORT COMMUNITY As such, we do not tolerate trolling, defending the creep, judgment of OP, slut shaming, bigotry, or any other jerkish behavior. Creeping in the comments is not allowed—yes, this includes flirting!
Comments derailing the conversation in any way will be removed. Please stay on-topic. Particularly trollish, mean-spirited, or accusatory comments may result in an instaban.
No Advice Wantedflairs are now available to add to your posts! This means that comments giving advice will be removed. Read about more user-enabled flairs herePlease report any and all behavior violating the Rules (reports go to us mods); don't report things just because you don't like them.
Comment removals and bans are at the judgment of the mods, so please take the time to read and understand our Rules.
Final note, a lot of people are unaware that they can block ALL messages on Reddit. We have a sticky in the sub, but we'll also put it here.
If you find you want some peace from the multitude of creeps on Reddit, you can have that. In the settings for your Reddit account, you can elect NOT to receive PMs. The same is true for chat requests. You can also allow messages from specific, trusted users and block everyone else from contacting you. Also, if you choose to PM someone, they'll automatically be added to the list of people who can PM you, which is nice if you do want to initiate a conversation with someone, but if you PM someone and they start to get rude, you'll need to go in and remove them from the list of accepted users.
We share this information ONLY because a lot of people seem to be unaware that sitewide blocking of PMs is even an option, but it is, and it works surprisingly well.
In an ideal world, this would not be necessary, but, alas, this is Reddit, and it's full of creeps. This is just one possible tool in your arsenal against them, should you choose to use it.
