1 year agoI’m gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you’re a second language speaker where “user” is a masculine noun, but other genders exist lol. I encourage you to use “themselves” instead.
Yeah I guess I reordered it “Just let the user decide themselves…” in my head.
As I guessed the commenter was a German speaker. This is a very common occurrence and not something malicious (check like every boardgame from Germany referring to “the player” as “he”), just lost in translation.
Never meant to be annoying or holier-than-thou, people can genuinely misunderstand that it’s some sexist remark, and so I pointed it out. Just said it so the commenter hopefully isn’t misunderstood in the future.
So, if you feel that’s some woke-ass snowflake nonsense, be my guest lol
