SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Thread closed for comment over on EN World because "obviously" ::) https://www.enworld.org/threads/gen-con-announces-badges-can-include-pronouns.685455/

Options on the badges are:

(blank)
Ask me my pronouns
He/Him
She/Her
They/Them
He/She/They

I would be tempted to opt for 'Ask me my pronouns' and then when asked say fuck/you.

Blazing Saddles had it right - "Badges, we don't need no sticking badges."

How does He/She/They even work grammatically?  Or does that mean I get to pick as the spirit moves me?

What if no pronouns are acceptable? Demand to be called by name at all times!

He needs a d6.
Okay, give the d6 to she!
Now it's they d6?

Good grief...  do they even play games there or is it all about how much virtue they all signal?

Oh, no make that your pronouns. My pronouns are d8/d6.
If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest person, I will find something in them to be offended.

This is why I don't have pronouns. I hate pronouns.

Surely your name badge can include whatever you like? If you want to call yourself Pilot Pirx or Sir Lancelot or She/Her Bob or whatever, that's entirely up to you. It is after all a roleplaying game convention.

The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

Mine would read, "Your Royal Highness".  Either that, or "Dirk Diggler".
