@theresnotime I have corrected some entry on an lgbt list about a character that was wrongly claimed to be a femboy, although only using she/her the entire movie and all the ppl around her only refering to her as a woman, there was just one scene were it was noted that she got different parts
@MiaWinter god that sort of topic often descends into edit warring over the silliest stuff.. 🥴
@theresnotime @MiaWinter is the show worth mentioning&watching?
@efi @theresnotime the one I edited?
@efi @theresnotime well, if you like iseka anime (or to be presicely, parodies of such) and don't mind a little fanservice (par for the course when making fun of isekai) konosuba is really fun, and the person it talked about is the villain in the movie, so there is one scene that can be seen a bit transphobic, but it's bc the main character is an asshole and it's just used as another scene to make him look like an asshole, since every single other person is never transphobic to her

@theresnotime @MiaWinter

Speaking of. I tried to edit an old version of the website for this international research organization I write news on, when I saw it had an outdated logo from 2010 or so. Nobody had updated anything (they are all scientific researchers in solar techs, probably don't care about wikipedia)and Wikipedia had a notice on it, saying "Hey, lovely onlooker, won't please

@theresnotime @MiaWinter
...kindly update this sad old thing" and I blundered into it saying yes I know quite a bit about this topic as I've interviewed most of these guys gone to their conferences and so on.

They came down on me like a ton a bricks! "How dare you shill for your little blog!!!" (This international org is under the IEA...) You are blocked for eternity!!!"

and so the site is gone and "you may never darken our door again!!"

@SusanKraemer @theresnotime @MiaWinter urk, that sucks. Wish I could say I've not heard this story before.
@MiaWinter @theresnotime I once tried to replace Elliot page’s deadname with their real name on the pages of all the things they were an actor in on German Wikipedia, my edits were quickly undone and some wikipedia dudebros were angry at me for it, so I gave up
@enby_of_the_apocalypse @theresnotime yea, german wikipedia has a huge bigot and nazi problem, it is nearly impossible editing stuff there
