Well, now we're finally getting somewhere. That was all I wanted because vagueposting is something that people frequently do in order to try and conceal their bigotry (e.g. homophobia, racism etc.) to try and get people on their side, like people in AmIAnAsshole do.

To me there's two issues here then. One issue is people not wanting to date certain people. I think that's a personal issue. The person you were previously talking with was going on about people 'making up pronouns' etc. and to me that just sounds like drawing a line in the sand and saying this is how queer you can be and no further.

I agree with you that there are some people who take things too far and try and start fights over things that are legitimately personal opinions, or that are too easily offended. However, I would try not to assume that everyone falls into that group and that I have just been unlucky to come across one particular person like that or a few - and to be honest we're talking about a place where everyone you meet probably has at the very least alcohol taken so might already be overstating their position. Maybe I'm just an optimist. We do frequently come across some people like that on some of the other subs I am frequent commenting on, but I try and take the view that those people might change their opinions or might be posting/speaking in an altered state.
