Didn't they fly off the handle on someone for politely pointing out that the text shouldn't use the word "he" and assume that every user is male?
That's not political, thats flat out unprofessional. I would think it's a pretty junior mistake if any of my colleagues filed a non-gender neutral PR in the first place, and would flat out fire them if they ever reacted to a review that unprofessionally.
Lmao, bruh. Your inability to read properly is not my problem.
Again, name a time you think you need to use the word "he" in a software instruction or label and I'll point out how you don't. Don't worry, we'll wait for you to think of one.
And again, I didn't say they should be fired for making that mistake, I said that's a junior ass mistake to make. I said they should be fired for being childish, immature, and defensive in the face of valid criticism. You might want to reflect on how childish, immature, and defensive you're being in response to calling someone else that.
If you get enough words out I suppose you really can convince yourself that you've made a coherent point when all you've done is made up different scenarios and missed the point.
You've successfully raised my self awareness in that I'm now aware that if someone else makes up a scenario where they explicitly can't read, they could draw wild conclusions and get offended.
