Pronoun Name Badges

[NPC]

Other people in this thread such as this person

are saying it’s not an empty gesture. Just because it’s not important to you doesn’t mean it wouldn’t help others.

@mistershow talk to HR and get one! Obviously however if you’re not using them at home, someone from home could come in and see the name tag.

It's an empty gesture because why wouldn't it be? Companies have one goal, and it's not to care about our well being. Gestures like this don't cost the company anything, and it stands to boost their image. That's all. By all means, the trans and gender non conforming people can all enjoy the benefits. It just happens to be positive...but it's very low commitment positivity. Let's not pretend target just really really cares about us. Dont let these gestures distract you from other issues with the company.

Of course you're too fucking fired up to consider that because someone who doesn't like you is making these points. Big baby.

Companies don't care about your pronouns. Calm down.

I am calm, quit using that as a way to paint me as hysterical.

You're the one with the brainlet ideology that somehow people can only care about one issue at a time.

Actually that's not my point at all. You're too hysterical to try and understand it any different. You're guarded for an attack that isn't there. It's ironic considering your accusation. Try again.

Fun fact: Calling minorities making an argument "hysterical" has typically been used to turn public opinion against them. You see it in debates over LGBT and women's rights. Similar examples are when "loud" is used for black rights.

There is absolutely no example of "hysterics" here. You need to cut it out and actually come back with a real argument.

Or....calling minorities hysterical is equal treatment. I'm calling your hysterical because you distorted my point to view it as an attack. Like I said, you went on the defense for no reason.

Since you apparently need the help, because you're too angry to do the work yourself, I'll explain my point more clearly. My issue is, adding pronouns to badges, is a low-effort way to support the community. Target gets to boast about all the ways they support team members. Every way except for liveable wages and hours. So....I'm simply encouraging people...dont let Target's pitiful gesture distract you from your draining bank account.

OH BUT PLEASE, CONTINUE TO BE UPSET. Enjoy your outrage porn.

being low effort doesn’t deminish it’s value to the people it helps.

Oh look, its captain obvious.

Any sensible person: "pronouns on badges are cool, but it seems like if target really wanted to support team members, they could give them more hours and pay."

Amanda, making a profound observation: "but pronouns on badges have value!!!"

About time I'm getting the recognition I deserve!

NPC, making an idiotic observation that is implied in what he is saying: YOU CAN'T CARE ABOUT MORE THAN ONE THING AT ONCE

They do have value, you incorrigible jackass. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean they don't.

Do you see the irony here? You're saying I can't care about more than one thing at once. Yet you can't understand that I can support and criticize something at the same time.

Outrage porn at it's finest.

I think it’s really funny that anybody is taking this seriously given what we should all know about how corporations work. They are willing to endorse progressive micro-issues like pronouns as long as doing so doesn’t cost them anything, but are otherwise aggressively anarcho-capitalist on the issues that do (hours and benefits). Congrats, you got your snowflake badge that you can wear while waiting until the heat death of the Universe for the hours and benefits to come back 👌 👌

^this guy gets it.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Two moderators came into this and asked you to act like grownups.

To have a conversation without snipping, scratching, and spitting on each other.

But no, that doesn't seem possible around here.

The thread is locked.
