Yeah, kinda true, kinda whataboutism… If calling other people by their chosen pronouns being their biggest problem, is your biggest problem… I’m envious of their life and your life… Thanks, I’m fine, lets not trade lives.

Honest question - what is the whataboutism here?

That pronouns isn’t a legitimate problem to have, because “what about” more severe problems in life. That Green is implying to trade with the non-issue (or lesser issue) of pronouns.

Hmm. >80% of Lemmy voters don’t like the same logic applied in reverse? Is that being hypocrites, or am I missing something?

The problem with your “logic” is that Green never said it was his biggest problem. And if you can find me someone who does say that people not calling others by their correct pronouns is their biggest problem, I would be very surprised.

I would suggest to you that if this was John Green’s biggest problem, he wouldn’t make a glib tweet about it.

Hmmh. But I mean even that also applies in reverse. Also the “pronouns people” don’t say it’s their biggest problem. At least the ones I’ve ever met. So Greens post has the same logical shortcomings as I have.
