The thing that pisses me off endlessly about this is that they act like they're mad about the concept of pronouns, which makes them look like childish morons, but what they're actually angry about is the idea that someone has a say over how others are to refer to them. Just say that!

I think they're just mad trans people exist, and pronoun selection reminds them of that.

It fits with their bullshit about wanting non-political games. Their politics are fueled by hatred, and it infects their escapist treats to be reminded of the mere existence of minorities and trans people.

Take this further, many of them probably wouldn't think of trans people as real people if it wasn't for their representation in media. That's why they take the fight to the treat factory.
