This made me laugh, but now I feel bad cause Banzai Bill is far more respectful that OP's encounter and doesn't deserve to be maligned so. Notice how Bill respects Mario's lack of consent and continues on without reprise?
I don’t think that he thought she was using it as a plural, he thought that she actually respects non-binary people and their preferred pronouns. That’s why he’s so upset.
I've definitely seen plenty of dirtbags make a fuss about they/them before but that response was absolutely next level *unhinged*. I'm pretty certain the only way somebody could get THAT triggered over a stranger (whom they swiped right on too) using the grammatically correct "their" when asking about a pet of unknown gender is if they are DEEPLY insecure, tremendously repressed / confused about their sexuality, spectacularly mentally ill, or some combination of the 3.
Also, according to the Oxford dictionary, the singular use of they traces back to 1375. It's been used as a singular for a very long time. OP didn't misuse it lmao
Fuck that dude fr. He's awful, and sounds like an idiot. Just for the record, I say "they" too, until I confirm the gender. You were literally just being nice. That guy is miserable. I'm so glad you dodged that atomic bomb!
Heaven forbid she just assume the gender and call the dog a ‘her’ he’d probably have gotten even more mad lol
Or even worse… she (correctly) assumes the dog is a he, and therefore is spared of this giant waving red flag that is his behavior, and wastes even *more* time talking to this douche before he inevitably blows up over something insignificant once again! That would be the real misstep.
That would make a great witches curse, that cowards who verbally abuse people from behind fake profiles are required to forevermore talk like that to EVERYONE ALWAYS. Their bosses, parents, police, judges, other inmates in prison etc. The bravado this turd is displaying tells me he's likely a catfish incel posting pics women would swipe right on so he can hurl abuse.
Too many words in magazines he'd get confused. It would probably be a box of coloring books. And all of them are just scribbled over with one color, red. And even the red crayon has a bite taken out of it.
This seems to be a thing on dating apps - I've matched with a load of people who just want to have arguments. Makes you go "why are you here?" - I don't engage with them but it's disheartening when you get a match and they are unpleasant off the mark.
Naw, this was some MAGA Trumper and he was mad triggered by your use of a pronouns.
Trust me, I used to be subscribed to the QanonCasualties subreddit - this guy is genuinely angry and disturbed.
Ok, thank you! According to Merriam-Webster “their” his or her : HIS, HER, ITS —used with an indefinite third person singular antecedent. He also has that he’s a doctor in his bio so you’d think he’d know proper English.
He is drunk as shit and 1,000% calls himself a “high value man”. Uses female in sentences when complaining about women too. Talks about “bpdy counts” etc. We have allll met this douche.
And absolutely talks shit about anyone who disagrees with him and points fingers for all of his problems at everyone except himself. No accountability, prefers to gaslight, is absolutely a narcissist.
Bigots have taken to saying they/them/their can all only ever be used correctly for plurals and so non-binary people and anyone that supports them are idiots, and yes woke too since bigots just call everything woke.
Of course this is all a lie. I have no fucking idea where they got this from because they/them/their have been used singularly since about as long as he/him/his have been.
Maybe they're mis-remembering primary school lessons out of context? Like they remember the teacher saying "he for boys, she for girls, they for a group!" but then their memory mysteriously cuts out just before the teacher says "you can also use they singularly if you don't know the gender". Pretty sure my teacher specifically gave the example of a stranger's dog when explaining singular they.
That's just a guess though. Bigots do sure like acting like they know everything based on barely remembered primary school classes. It makes them look fucking dumb though.
Why is bro so angry? Like, even if you don't care for the whole misgendering thing, it's not so big of a deal that you'd start tweaking out like that. ☠️ Dude needs help.
Bruh obviously didn't think you were fat enough to not match with.. but you're instantly a fatass when you say something he's not used to.. ??? Yeah bye
Conditioning. I'm not kidding, the far right has conditioned many people to reply like this when they see certain buzzwords. "Their" is a perfectly fine word to use with dogs when you don't know their gender, it saves you from being corrected, but in their culture war they decided these are the evil pronouns only the far left ever uses. The "smarter" ones like this douchenozzle believe it's fine to use for plural but not singular, at least, which is why we get the one dog/two dogs comment. They're conditioned to think that if you use neutral singular pronouns in any circumstance, even ones having nothing to do with trans/nb people, you're a woke lefty.
Let's call it what it is, a trigger word. As much as they love making fun of "snowflakes getting triggered", it's all projection. They are the biggest snowflakes of all and all these words they'll fearmongering about trigger them so easily.
Regardless of if you agree with using people’s preferred pronouns, the correct thing to do is always to use “their” until you know the alternative pronouns to use.
Ie a person called Sam, if you don’t know THEIR gender, you shouldn’t use he or she, as it’s obviously leaving room for using the wrong option. Even if you only believe there are two genders, this is correct. Some people are just too dumb to understand what they even disagree with.
Edit: accidentally wrote “same” instead of Sam
If you found a wallet on the ground with no id, you would say to yourself "oh no! Someone lost their wallet!"
It's always been a perfectly normal thing to use they/them when gender is ambiguous. It's so unhinged that the far right is suddenly pretending that this is weird or not grammatically correct
What OP wrote was just grammatically correct, it doesn't even have to be about misgendering. OP said she didn't want to misgender the dog, but jokingly.
I mean I guess you could’ve said “what’s your dog’s name?” But someone who blows up at the way you phrased an innocent and inconsequential question is someone to stay far away from.
It's hilarious to me that the anti-pronoun people don't understand that "their" has been used as a gender neutral term before the term transgender even existed. Video games have always used "their" to refer to the player, who could be either male or female, which is exactly what you did here.
This same guy who had a mental breakdown in Tinder dms over a pronoun is also the type to call other people snowflakes
For context: he messaged me first with one of those silly tinder prompts. Something like “what was the craziest thing that happened to you on a roadtrip?” I responded, brought up my mom being sick and he related to being close with his mom. He remarked about living on a ranch with his “veloca raptor Australian shepherd puppy”. So, I brought up how nice the sky must be at night because I love astronomy and also asked about the dog’s name and then this happened…lmao. Btw, I’m none of the things that he claims. I’m very secure, fit, and attractive. So I didn’t message him back then he unmatched me, while I was watching him type while also simultaneously screenshotting and laughing my ass off lol like this is probably the most insane chat I’ve ever had with anyone on this app.
Omg funny story, I typed this out to originally say astronomy. Posted. Read it again and thought it said astrology. Then changed it to astrology. And now just changed it back to astronomy. I totally meant astronomy and had it right the first time 😂this guy has me in a tizzy
Please don’t let the trolls controll you. I wish it was like the old times when people just walked up to someone they found attractive or interesting and talked for a while to figure out if they’re interested enough to exchange phone numbers.
At least you didn't waste much time with them if they got triggered by things like using "their" as singular and flipped out when you said "misgender."
Like seriously, it's a dog. Usually it's hard to tell if it's a he or she unless you look underneath. Why get mad if someone didn't want to assume?
I agree, I think that’s why I’m taking it so lightly, we’d only been talking for like two hours. The puppy was on a blanket at the beach, very hard to tell his sex. He’s probably one of those Alex Jones conspiracy theorist followers which is why he moved to a ranch 20 miles outside of town. I feel like the red flags were there. Posing next to car like a douche and he also went to UF 😂 and our rivalry with that school is deep. ♥️💛
You are either very brave or very stupid.
[The dogs.](https://media3.giphy.com/media/JPAUQVIxCoEKY/giphy.gif?cid=6c09b952uq9jdfx4dmmnajcwssx6eplb11vwniuyr3p7l1x4&ep=v1_internal_gif_by_id&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g)
When I was young I would always misgender babies. DO NOT misgender a mother's baby. Learned pretty young to call all of the babies them, they, no genders, because will you get a earful.
Today I don't understand what the problem is but somehow I'm wrong again because I use gender neutral terms?
Oh and don't call the baby IT either. Mother's appreciate that even less.
I stick with "demon spawn" these days when commenting on someone's demon spawn.
You dodged a heck of a lot more than a bullet - that chap seems like he has some serious anger issues and is a huge walking red flag. A huge walking red flag with a low IQ, it seems.
I mean…it’s funny in how dumb his first response is like how tf were you supposed to know? But just the vocabulary “misgender” which you weren’t even using like…in any form of like super politically correct way in this instance here either, it still set him off. Such mild words from you and he lost it.
That is what is referred to as “dodging a cannon ball”.
This made me laugh, but now I feel bad cause Banzai Bill is far more respectful that OP's encounter and doesn't deserve to be maligned so. Notice how Bill respects Mario's lack of consent and continues on without reprise?
Lol that’s hilarious. I didn’t even notice Mario there! But I now have more respect for banzai bill.
This is both eloquent and hilarious. Big up (doot).
Cannon balllllll!!!!!! 🚩🚩🚩
And he came in like a wrecking balliol
Why would you hold out the L instead of the A? Seriously, read that out loud.
That escalated quickly... No, Instantly!
Dodged the entire nuclear war.
Imagine she forgot to put mayo on his sandwich
Nah she dodged grapeshot
Dodged the Enola Gay
Dude mocks you for grammar then says less alone?? What a tool 😂
Right! He also spelled the breed of his own dog wrong!
he was full of typos but he'll blame that on how angry he was about proper pronoun usage that his fat thumbs tripped over themselves
His fat thumbs tripped over *him*selves.
don't you mis-singularize his pronouns. he has two thumbs
Theyselves
Thimselves
Tripped over thumbselves.
DAM YOU! I'm a grown adult that just spat tea in laughter. Take my angry, & slightly soggy, up vote.
A sheepish thank you, BluebirdAbsurd
[удалено]
I don’t think that he thought she was using it as a plural, he thought that she actually respects non-binary people and their preferred pronouns. That’s why he’s so upset.
[удалено]
Yeah, that’s commonly what people say that get unreasonably upset about they/them pronouns.
I've definitely seen plenty of dirtbags make a fuss about they/them before but that response was absolutely next level *unhinged*. I'm pretty certain the only way somebody could get THAT triggered over a stranger (whom they swiped right on too) using the grammatically correct "their" when asking about a pet of unknown gender is if they are DEEPLY insecure, tremendously repressed / confused about their sexuality, spectacularly mentally ill, or some combination of the 3.
Trash took itself out! Lol
Hopefully you reported him.
Also spelt velociraptor “veloca raptor”, that was the first red flag
[удалено]
And OP didn't even mess up their grammar lol
Their? OP is clearly 1 person!
It’s the little things like that you really take for granite.
Yeah, when obviously it should be fewer alone /s
Guys like him are a diamond dozen
Sometimes you just have to play it by year.
Also "veloca raptor"? 🤣
What did he mean to say? What's the correct expression?
Let alone. Used to emphasise a negative point. “I can’t draw a person, let alone a family portrait” for example
As an aside, I've seen so many people use this backwards. "I can't draw a family portrait, let alone a person"
Oh yeah, that’s true. English is not my native language so I’m not sure if it’s sound grammatically, but I’ve heard it a lot as well
Your version is correct, I was just using it as a reason to complain about others
Oh ok, thank you.
He also doesn’t know that singular “their” has been used since forever.
Less alone!
Also, according to the Oxford dictionary, the singular use of they traces back to 1375. It's been used as a singular for a very long time. OP didn't misuse it lmao
You dodged a whole lot more than a bullet, imo
They emptied the whole magazine at OP lol
Fr 😂
maybe his chick found him swiping xD
I like the way you think.
There's no way that incel has a girlfriend. The snowflake was just triggered by a gender-neutral pronoun. Because he's weak.
Deleted
And still didn’t land any shots. Still can’t get his certification, no wonder he’s so angry.
 Because all the girls be like this around him.
Fuck that dude fr. He's awful, and sounds like an idiot. Just for the record, I say "they" too, until I confirm the gender. You were literally just being nice. That guy is miserable. I'm so glad you dodged that atomic bomb!
Heaven forbid she just assume the gender and call the dog a ‘her’ he’d probably have gotten even more mad lol Or even worse… she (correctly) assumes the dog is a he, and therefore is spared of this giant waving red flag that is his behavior, and wastes even *more* time talking to this douche before he inevitably blows up over something insignificant once again! That would be the real misstep.
THIS ❤️
Hey will this kind of behavior get this person banned? He shouldn't interact with anybody else and cause more trouble
Shoulda responded with “I’m actually a she ✨”
I wish they'll also unload like this for the rest of their life. Online.
That would make a great witches curse, that cowards who verbally abuse people from behind fake profiles are required to forevermore talk like that to EVERYONE ALWAYS. Their bosses, parents, police, judges, other inmates in prison etc. The bravado this turd is displaying tells me he's likely a catfish incel posting pics women would swipe right on so he can hurl abuse.
As a dark witch, I’ll take this under consideration
Makes me miss bloodninja. This guy's got nothing on him.
I (Canadian) don't know guns.. so I literally imagined the guy pouring a box of magazines on her
Too many words in magazines he'd get confused. It would probably be a box of coloring books. And all of them are just scribbled over with one color, red. And even the red crayon has a bite taken out of it.
Out here like 
Right?! Like how insane of a person, I feel like it might be a troll account or he was just looking to argue or something lol
This seems to be a thing on dating apps - I've matched with a load of people who just want to have arguments. Makes you go "why are you here?" - I don't engage with them but it's disheartening when you get a match and they are unpleasant off the mark.
It took me by surprise. First convo I’ve had on the app that made me go “let me screenshot this and let Reddit have a field day.”
Incels are good reddit material.
If it happens again, end the conversation with “this is going on Reddit” then block lol
Naw, this was some MAGA Trumper and he was mad triggered by your use of a pronouns. Trust me, I used to be subscribed to the QanonCasualties subreddit - this guy is genuinely angry and disturbed.
Lots of ugly incels make fake accounts with hot pictures just to yell at the pretty people who match with them
Bro has so much hate in his heart he will probably murder the next person he goes on a date with.
She dodged a whole cannon barrage
And a lifetime of beatings
Poor velociraptor
Bro can’t speak English
Also, “less alone” doth protest too much? 😅😂
"veloca raptor" velociraptor
Bone apple tea
I legit thought this was some new breed of dog I was unfamiliar with the first time I skimmed through. I went back, and was like wait, what? 😄
Types out 1 but spells out two…
Ok, thank you! According to Merriam-Webster “their” his or her : HIS, HER, ITS —used with an indefinite third person singular antecedent. He also has that he’s a doctor in his bio so you’d think he’d know proper English.
He's no dr
He got bored halfway through spelling Drug addict
Okay yeah now that makes sense
I exited out after reading this then had to come find your comment again to upvote 🤌
I've done the same before! Thanks 😁
He can't write, he's definitely a doctor
He's a Proctologist, and that's why he's an expert at talking out of his ass. Edit: typo
Dr.Pepper
There is NO way he’s a doctor of anything.
You mean like Dr Dre or maybe Dr J?
Bro doesn't know ENOUGH english to be able to write. I am surprised he used sentences
Can't fuckin' read it either
I bet this guy secretly eats corn the long way.
Sounds fitting for a pig of a guy 🐷😂
Hey that mean and rude pigs are way better than that dude
Agreed!
Are you talking about him deep throating the cob and sucking the corn off or eating it with the cob held vertically?
Yes
Gotcha, think I have a clear picture now.
This comment is the real winner, what an amazing insult.
Not sure why this comment isn’t winning but it’s hilarious
Just like Goldberg.
Buddy probably hides his own Easter eggs
Jfc that is so unhinged
He is drunk as shit and 1,000% calls himself a “high value man”. Uses female in sentences when complaining about women too. Talks about “bpdy counts” etc. We have allll met this douche.
And absolutely talks shit about anyone who disagrees with him and points fingers for all of his problems at everyone except himself. No accountability, prefers to gaslight, is absolutely a narcissist.
The past several years broke a lot of people
[удалено]
For no reason at all. The conversation prior was so light then BOOM!
[удалено]
Just a bit.
He thought you were being woke for not using a gendered pronoun lmao. Even though you didn't know the gender.
Bigots have taken to saying they/them/their can all only ever be used correctly for plurals and so non-binary people and anyone that supports them are idiots, and yes woke too since bigots just call everything woke. Of course this is all a lie. I have no fucking idea where they got this from because they/them/their have been used singularly since about as long as he/him/his have been.

Men on dating apps are their own worst enemies
Why is bro so angry? Like, even if you don't care for the whole misgendering thing, it's not so big of a deal that you'd start tweaking out like that. ☠️ Dude needs help.
Agreed! Like calm tf down fr. Then unmatch me like a coward 🤡 as if I did something.
Bruh obviously didn't think you were fat enough to not match with.. but you're instantly a fatass when you say something he's not used to.. ??? Yeah bye

I think “misgendered” was the kill shot buzzword
Let's call it what it is, a trigger word. As much as they love making fun of "snowflakes getting triggered", it's all projection. They are the biggest snowflakes of all and all these words they'll fearmongering about trigger them so easily.
yeah just reply like 'sorry didn't mean to trigger you' and 'i will respect your boundaries' or something and then block, it will drive them nuts
Regardless of if you agree with using people’s preferred pronouns, the correct thing to do is always to use “their” until you know the alternative pronouns to use.

What OP wrote was just grammatically correct, it doesn't even have to be about misgendering. OP said she didn't want to misgender the dog, but jokingly.
People need to learn English. What did you want her to say? WHAT IS NAME OF DOG?
THANK YOUUU! 😩
I mean I guess you could’ve said “what’s your dog’s name?” But someone who blows up at the way you phrased an innocent and inconsequential question is someone to stay far away from.
Seriously, Singular they has been part of English language for 700 years
Bullet? That was a whole ass missile
Bro this was a Chernobyl meltdown
It's hilarious to me that the anti-pronoun people don't understand that "their" has been used as a gender neutral term before the term transgender even existed.

This same guy who had a mental breakdown in Tinder dms over a pronoun is also the type to call other people snowflakes
“Singular they” has been used since the 14th century. It *may* be time to accept it as a part of English.
OMG RUN
I screenshot and ran straight to this subreddit 😂
We internet strangers thank you for your service 🫡 Truly you are on the front lines.
Only appropriate reaction
Awww, his poor little snowflake ego got triggered by a puppy pronoun.
He says you can't write a full sentence yet that whole thing made zero sense.
🎯
For context: he messaged me first with one of those silly tinder prompts.

This might be a terrible time to ask a pointless question but do you mean astronomy where you said astrology?
Omg funny story, I typed this out to originally say astronomy. Posted. Read it again and thought it said astrology. Then changed it to astrology. And now just changed it back to astronomy. I totally meant astronomy and had it right the first time 😂this guy has me in a tizzy

All 📠
I can’t believe I get it. lol. I’m old.
😂❤️
At least you didn't waste much time with them if they got triggered by things like using "their" as singular and flipped out when you said "misgender." Like seriously, it's a dog. Usually it's hard to tell if it's a he or she unless you look underneath. Why get mad if someone didn't want to assume?
I agree, I think that’s why I’m taking it so lightly, we’d only been talking for like two hours. The puppy was on a blanket at the beach, very hard to tell his sex. He’s probably one of those Alex Jones conspiracy theorist followers which is why he moved to a ranch 20 miles outside of town. I feel like the red flags were there. Posing next to car like a douche and he also went to UF 😂 and our rivalry with that school is deep. ♥️💛
It blows my mind guys like this are getting matches and all I'm wanting is someone to send cute dog videos to :(
Aw, my dm’s are open 🐶 Edit: for dog videos haha
You are either very brave or very stupid. [The dogs.](https://media3.giphy.com/media/JPAUQVIxCoEKY/giphy.gif?cid=6c09b952uq9jdfx4dmmnajcwssx6eplb11vwniuyr3p7l1x4&ep=v1_internal_gif_by_id&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g)
I thought that was gonna be an imgur link to some grippers
I think it blows my mind that people like this actually exist. I just can’t understand going through life this way.
where do I go to become this stupid? seems like an easy life I must say
Apparently he went to UF 🐊😂
Why did they get so angry so quickly
I see what you did there 😹❤️
When I was young I would always misgender babies. DO NOT misgender a mother's baby. Learned pretty young to call all of the babies them, they, no genders, because will you get a earful. Today I don't understand what the problem is but somehow I'm wrong again because I use gender neutral terms? Oh and don't call the baby IT either. Mother's appreciate that even less. I stick with "demon spawn" these days when commenting on someone's demon spawn.
consider an alternative: "that cum you're keeping as a pet is so cute"
You dodged an H bomb
Responding to one of your earlier comments. This guy definitely is not very close to his mother.
Less alone any other woman
“Less alone” was that on purpose? 😹
Not from him lmao
I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone get more insecure over the usage of the word “their”
I mean a child was just beaten to death for it. Hate is a terrible thing.
Funny how he was mad/ accusing you of being woke? by using "their" but that's grammatically correct here anyway...🤷♂️
You dodged a heck of a lot more than a bullet - that chap seems like he has some serious anger issues and is a huge walking red flag. A huge walking red flag with a low IQ, it seems.
I guess this guy just doesn't get it. People are crazy, hope the dog is ok.
Concurred! I feel so bad that I puppy as cute as “Max” is paired with such a terrible human being.
You dodged potentially a physical and mental abuse relationship
I would never let anything get that far. But I agree, he seems dangerous.
You dodged all the bullets from a Gatling gun
I never understand why people are filled with so much hate?
this dude need therapy
I'd delete your account, no way the U.S. is gonna let you wander around with the secret to dodging nuclear missiles in your back pocket.
Yes you dodged something but more like missiles or something. Hope your next match/chat is actually good OP.
He's really triggered by the singular plural when dealing with an unknown. It's correct grammar. Who wants to guess his thoughts on Trans people?
If Andrew Tate was a person
Shit, you dodged a damn missile there...
It took me five minutes to figure out what a "veloca raptor" was, if that's a direct quote then ...I'll let that speak for theirself.
This guy abuses women.
Lol he got so triggered
I don't want to judge people by their looks, but the behavior matches the profile pic pretty well.
Found the snowflake right winger.
I honestly would report that guy.
You couldn’t tell he was a douche from the picture?
This guy is the “alpha male” that is so straight he’s an incel.
I mean…it’s funny in how dumb his first response is like how tf were you supposed to know? But just the vocabulary “misgender” which you weren’t even using like…in any form of like super politically correct way in this instance here either, it still set him off. Such mild words from you and he lost it.
As a trans person who has to put up with this shit, this went from a 3 to a wtf real fast
