This is why we need to stop persecuting “y’all” and have every English speaker use it.
It’s all inclusive, it’s easy to say, and can never mean something else other than “you all”
Fuckin’ right? As a southerner, I get a bit steamed when these assholes use it for such a dumbass reason when you damn well know they’ve probably ridiculed us for it in the past.
Fair 'nuff. I'm going for the first time in a monthish. I have a low tolerance for tourist shit but am a huge soul food afficianado. Any recs for eating?
literally most things are good, there are classic places in the french quarter that are actually good, but a lot of the new or less touristy good shit is in uptown, especially along magazine street.
Pretty sure ya’llposting initially became a thing as an ironic device to make fun of southerners. Like all things that get too widespread on the internet, it’s initial meaning became detached from it and now it just gets used all over the place by trend followers.
Whenever somebody types "y'all" I instantly know they're either a Reddit mod or a Twitter power user. Yikes y'all, there's a lot to unpack here because this ain't it y'all. Locking this thread because y'all can't behave. Yikes yikes yikes.
I'm overseeing a team of 8 men and 1 women at work right now. I honestly say "you guys" all the fucking time and since she hasn't complained or anything I'm assuming it's ok.
Then again burgers are weird as fuck so maybe she did complain but my boss didn't give a fuck.
Thread has derailed my life... I want to actually have some down time tonight too. Leaving the thread for now, please read through if you have any questions as I may have already answered them.
If not, please feel free to PM me with anything. I will not be working back on replies ITT later.
PLEASE ALSO READ
Threadmarks - top right of the thread. I'll add posts that I think are reverent/answer a lot of common questions.
Quoted posts under my OT - for posts I think deserve a lot more exposure, I'll both TM and add below.
Okay, let me start by saying I'm non-binary. All my life I've struggled with my gender identity, being told I have to conform to the standard when I felt like something else. I know many others like myself too, and while, personally, mis-gendering doesn't harm me, I know it harms others, make them feel like their existence is being denied. It's harmful, it shouldn't happen.
And the "boys club" issues of gaming is something that's still not resolved despite making some good progress in the industry.
Girls/Women, non-binary, gender fluid people play games. They're not boys. The word boys doesn't cover them and feels as though you're excluding them immediately.
I just asked a person to not use the word in a discord chat. They told me they were using the word "boys" to speak to everyone, that to them "boys" means "all". When I explained why I would prefer it if they didn't, they told me "sure, but I'm rolling my eyes pretty hard".
Boys doesn't mean "all". Even if to you it does. And it has the immediate affect of being an excluding term. And this is before we get to the conversation that are used to describe male humans become so prominent that they eventually get absorbed into public consciousness to cover everyone (see: guys). Let me say, I'm personally fine with the word guys, but some are not. I try to avoid it for that reason. But this is about the word "boys".
Boys doesn't meant girls.
Boys doesn't mean non-binary.
Boys doesn't mean gender-fluid.
Etc...
"let's go boys!"
"Where we landing boys?"
"you boys ready?"
Terms like these are all over the gaming side, even in topic titles.
I can't speak for all of these folk, but for myself I've spent my entire life feeling ashamed of my identity because, whenever I brought it up in conversion growing up, it was met with mockery or hostility. Even many of my friends who were understanding of it overall still made fun of it.
Even to this day I don't correct certain members of my family or people I meet because the battle exhausts me and I know many people will react in a hostile way. Hell, I know people will read this plea and do everything from roll their eyes to condemn me for being a mentally ill snowflake, but whatever, it needs to be said.
Please, when speaking to ALL, don't use BOYS. For some of us it feels like a stab in the gut every time, not just for ourselves but for the many people this kind of exclusivity harms.
It doesn't take much for you to think about this and correct the use of a word, but it could go a long way to making many of us feel welcome.
Thanks for considering.
I may have just face palmed myself harder than I do at a lawlzcel post.
Some day soon the conspiracy theorists will be right, there will be some nation-state that hacks the Gibson and crashes the entire internet. On that day, these people will have to crawl out of their Mountain Dew and cum stained lairs and actually face some real sunlight.
Don't worry, I've already called the police on you and the rest of the commentators here that have RAPED her with your words. Imagine your favorite gangbang hentai, except it's rape, they're standing around in a circle raping you with improper pronouns. Oh wait, you can't because you have no fucking empathy. You just better hope nobody ever rapes YOU with the wrong pronoun, it won't be so funny then.

It already is a stereotyped word that only fat sassy proud african american women use.
1 TheSubredditPolice 2019-03-14
Is that why they say it? Wow, appropriating my culture for that.

There are a lot of great restaurants in New Orleans East. I definitely recommend checking that part of the city out.
1 2938_throwd 2019-03-14
Go to Frenchmen street for a touristy experience. It like a less well know, less annoying version of Bourbon St.
Eat boudin from a random gas station outside the city for authentic poors food.

1 TayloTayloBookito 2019-03-14
Forgive the seriouspost, but WTF even is y’allposting?
1 2938_throwd 2019-03-14
When somebody inserts “ya’ll” into a post to sound folksy and relatable.
Basically something done exclusively by non-southerners.
1 TayloTayloBookito 2019-03-14
Ah. I’ve definitely seen it. Half the time I see “y’all” online, I brace myself for whatever bizarro far-left idpol shit is about to follow.

I remember when we made fun of people who said y’all like it was a redneck thing. Who knew woke posters would appropriate Trump country.
1 Burnnoticelover 2019-03-14
But we can’t count on y’all.
Why?
Cause y’all can’t behave.

Second, but spell it "yuze"
1 finesserphd 2019-03-14
Stupid bitches in one of my classes think using “you guys” to include males and females is bad
Clearly you guys have never been to the midwest
1 ArlenBilldozer 2019-03-14
Truths. Women use "you guys" all the time. If they are drunk women, they sub in "you skanks / sluts / bitches".
