@cincigoose Thanks, glad someone said it.
@Liberty1776 , cincigoose was very calm and respectful. Why are you making drama? Making chess more inclusive is good for the game. We want to attract many people as we can to play."
Tomondo, if you really want more people in chess, support interesting to read write ups that might inflame a few people instead of politically correct ones that focus on how boring the drawn championships are, since that's an important enemy of chess popularity.

@TrainingOTB - that's the absolute state of SJW currently. Most of the time they are not even offended themselves, they are offended on the behalf of some unknown other, that they deem might potentially be offended.

Because slacktivists love patting themselves on the back and because pedantry knows no bounds. You remove "blunders", then you remove "mistakes", then you go for the "inaccuracies", all the while churning out more mental gymnastics for why every step is "so very important", and it ends with splitting hairs.
Except unlike chess this gets turned into political issues when it really isn't and shouldn't be, and there also isn't an engine to tell us who's right. Human decency often gets exploited by slacktivists, and we've all heard the saying "the way to hell is paved with good intentions"

@bak000za You said there were lots of examples that showed it wasn't just a slippery slope fallacy, but now you can't produce any evidence. Hmm...
@jasontaylor7 It was a good write-up. It can still be a good write-up and be not offensive.

Well, now that I've won the argument, let's get back to talking about the chess.
@arachattack
indeed i was confused with transgender. Clearly not my cup of tea.
Still Crossdresser Carlson sounds nicer.

Except I was saying it needs to be interesting, not good, if you really want chess to grow, as you claim. You can present a good proof to me that the lagrangian of the standard model looks like this qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-a22ea95a000bf20f76680f732ea18e8c.webp but if it isn't interesting, nobody will care.

@jasontaylor7 So, changing the word "transvestite" to "crossdresser" somehow makes the whole post boring?

there are plenty of forums where you can go SJW troll elsewhere. You are not winning arguments. you are not changing minds. you are not providing any insight.
be aware people the main point of this site is to play chess. people come here to relax, to play a game, to get away from the world for a few moments. don't be a dick and try to ruin that for them.
