you don’t realize that using “they” instead of “she” when referring to a female person is dehumanizing

What the actual screaming fekk? ‘They’ is gender-neutral, and specifically for people. You don’t look at a stack of coins and say ‘they’. It’s ‘those’. Animals might be ‘they’, but we have a tendency to project humanizing perceptions onto them.

Seriously, what the hell are you smoking that ‘they’ is ‘dehumanizing’? Are you just looking for reasons to be outraged? If it’s not dehumanizing to say ‘they’ about a man, it’s not dehumanizing to say ‘they’ about a woman. It is literally treating them exactly the same way.

Samira… I didn’t say that “‘all’ faithful outside the Empire fall under his authority.” I literally did not say that.

@Melisma_Ramijozana

Constantin is Archbishop of the Hinterlands, which makes him a leadership figure over all the faithful in Republic space and pretty much everywhere else that isn’t Amarr.

Yeah. Yeah, you literally did.

I was one of these people until very recently. Then I took the opportunity to talk to people instead of projecting my fears and insecurities onto them. I’d like to see more of my kin doing that, instead of shouting down open overtures out of hand.

So you’re ok with people being coerced and deceived into swearing allegiance to the Amarr Empire while living in the Republic? Because that is what the Amarr faith is. Those who believe in the Amarr god but do not believe their first loyalty in this universe is to him, and their second to his mouthpiece, the Emperor/Empress, are heretics.
