    Maybe.

    Either way, I am confused about how standing up for cats while literally commenting on /c/cats would be downvoted so hard.

    I’m still wondering why everyone got so mad in 3 words, when I was betting nice to a cat!

    I wasn’t even mean to the guy I was replying to.

    Unless I’m missing some kind of context here (and that would be really oddly specific), this is beneath reddit intelligence.

    Not that it deserved upvotes either, it was just a remark that I totally forgot about until I got the reply notification. Lemmy should be better than this.

      because your hypercritical brainfart didn’t get you the updoots you wanted? it was a dumb comment that only stands up for yourself.

      You weren’t standing up for cats, you were enforcing binary gender roles on cats. What if the cat doesn’t want a human idea of gender projected onto it? If I were a cat, I wouldn’t give two whiskers about human genders and pronouns.

        And as I replied to another, I learned that today based on the wording of their reply.

        So that’s a new thing I know now. I still don’t think “they” is binary though. It’s is kinda the star example of non-binary.

        But I guess I did exclude a pronoun that I didn’t know existed. I thought the word was specifically calling the cat an object, so now I know better. It wasn’t intentional, and definitely not meant that way (as in not meant to force or exclude, aka discriminate).
