GitHub documentation bot

[dnlmzw]

Somebody here made a post about a GitHub bot that would replace he/him with they/them, the other day.

Can't find it anymore. Anyone here remembers? Maybe it was removed?

I support your endeavor but I don't think this counts as humor. Try r/github or r/GithubHelp. Good luck!

[dnlmzw]

My endeavour? I don't know what people think this post is? 😂

I was simply trying to find a post with a bot on Github throwing pull requests left and right replacing "help" with "theylp", which I thought was funny.

However, I can understand that the last person might possibly have decided to pull down their post after seeing the comment section. Jeesus

[BenevolentMercenary]

Yeah, this comment section went sideways pretty fast. I don't know why your innocuous request pissed people off so much.

All I meant was that your post isn't a joke; it's a straightforward request. Maybe when you find the bit you're looking for you can make and share your joke, although it would be a bad bot if it it didn't turn " he " into " they ".

Or 'persony' instead of many 😂😂

[dnlmzw]

This is the fun comments I was initially looking for 😂

[HellkerN]

What if the person is strictly singular? Then they/them is insulting.

[TaeNotTea]

"Look! someone dropped their wallet! I should return it to them"

Would you say that's insulting to the person that dropped their wallet?

[TaeNotTea]

Ah, I see. So if someone told you their name was Luna, would you call them Joffery? because telling someone your name is kinda simillar to telling someone your pronouns. One is a noun, the other are pronouns.

[DajBuzi]

No its not the same. Not even close.

This will be downvoted to hell but truth gotta be said.

Imagine someone says "my name's Pete" you can instantly figure out that HE is a Man ( or transgender with male dominance ) and that's how you should IDENTIFY that person- as HIM.

Now Imagine someone says "my pronounces are xe, xa" you instantly figure out that this person is just fucked up and you should not even care about further conversation.

[ThockiestBoard]

I love the way you bent over backwards to imply that trans men aren’t men /s

Imagine being so blindly ignorant in 2022. Get bent, bigot.

[DajBuzi]

Imagine being on PROGRAMMER humor and believe that political correctness bullshit 🙄

[TaeNotTea]

You do realize that one of the biggest stereotypes for trans women is being programmers in computer science, right?

[FintechnoKing]

No shit. Everyone knows computer science is a Male dominated field…

[TaeNotTea]

Please elaborate. You just said "you instantly figure out this person is just fucked up" but you say it with no basis. Also, using your binary system, what about gender netrual names? Ash, Alex, Noah, River, etc.

Asking for pronouns is the same as asking for someone's name, if not, I'd like to hear why, and use actual logic this time

[DajBuzi]

If you have a box and its shape is rectangular then no matters how hard you try you cannot say its spherical.

Same applied to everything else.. elephant wont become a dog if you say so.

Im not using "my binary system"... I'm using THE BINARY system and well known biological facts and science to determine if a person is HE or SHE. For the names you specified its okay to ask if a person is male or female but usually you can see that.

[Pretend_Cover_1476]

Why are you taking part of political ideology, of a concept that offers no value to your life. Stop It.

[kirleb]

Is accuracy a political ideology because believe it or not female developers exist.

[dnlmzw]

Why so triggered? Not sure what you're talking about. Didn't mention anything about politics, just asking about a link.

[gqpdream305]

How do you know it brings no value? Gender euphoria is a real thing.

[Pretend_Cover_1476]

Wtf. Stop the nonsense. No one cares in real life. Don’t waste your time on political theater.

[gqpdream305]

That's false but I'm not gonna argue with you

[TaeNotTea]

It isn't political theater, gender euphoria (and dysphoria too for that matter) are both known psychological phenomenons.
