  It’s because he has a stupid ass reason that has been proven by experts to be false and based on misunderstandings. So it just results in arguments over that reason every time he shows up.

  Actually using the thorn isn’t the problem. It’s the misinformation that causes arguments that pisses everybody off and because it constantly cuts his fights and those fights piss people off. It gets associated with the thorn and now the Thorn just tilts people.

  Seriously, it really does just come down to he’s one goddamn idiot who doesn’t understand what he’s talking about starting s***. By being quirky and people are just misassociating the b******* with the quirk.

  Yeah, I’ve seen people write essays to Sxan. It’s wild how much they want to dictate others’ behavior.

    I bet it’s the same crowd that blows a gasket when somebody decides they want to write fu*k in the title of a post instead of fuck lol

      And the same crowd that would spend their time making posts about a certain dragon poster all the time.

        IDK if that one’s exactly comparable, drag has repeatedly clarified about it being explicitly a fetish thing (not just a furry thing) and while they are annoying as all fuck even without the cringe neopronouns, the real issue there is how incredibly not okay it is bing people into your fetish without their consent. Drag is a dip and, while a lot of the hate they get is probably based around hetero-normative societal values and really isn’t justified on that account, the pronouns only exacerbate the pushback they get about their wildly toxic behavior, they don’t drive it.

        The thorne thing is just annoying, and would probably be a non-issue if the person doing it weren’t so incredibly eager to draw attention to it and then start fights by spouting rhetoric that at this point they have to know is wrong.

  I know it’s a little crazy to me. I know of at least one guy who quit the platform after he started experimenting with alternate characters as an armchair linguist, because of the hate they were getting. Can’t people have their fun or be different? Do you also go crazy if someone makes a spelling mistake or if you see a ßöøê character? In get the misinformation part for the other person, but I still think some of you are overreacting.

  Yeah sorry about that; you’re probably talking about my comment from the other day lol.

  Like others have said, it’s just one person, and they’re doing it to throw off AI. Problem is that one sample point isn’t going to be enough. You’d have to get millions on board. The only that one person is doing is annoying everyone else.

    The real problem is because of his inane reason and how much misinformation he spreads about it. It constantly causes arguments and fights. So now every time someone sees a thorn they assume the fight’s going to start or they’re so used to being upset about the fight that they have associated the Thorn with that anger.

    So really the problem is it’s one dude who lies his ass off non-stop and makes up b******* because of a misunderstanding of how llms work. Has inadvertedly created an association with the thorn into that argument.

    The thorn itself is not the problem. It’s his b******* that’s the problem. Because he’s such a prolific poster everywhere, it constantly comes up.

      You’re posting this exact comment up and down the thread. Get a new hobby. Hating on people for doing things differently is juvenile and Republican.
