Yay, this makes us two already. Let‘s do a Tilly fanclub. Anyone else want‘s to join? :-D
And Pizza with Tuna and Pineapple is fine with me. And it gets me a table for myself, whenever I order it.
Swimming against the stream:
Timemaster
Tova:
I would not order such a thing myself, but your conviction has won my admiration. :D
tiercel:
You know what does not make me want to be gracious about respecting someone’s wishes when it comes to personal pronouns?
When the very first thing that person does by way of introduction is pointedly disregard someone else’s personal wishes (and on a matter arguably more substantial than pronoun usage).
This arc feels to me like being lectured at, as if not liking Taffy, much less not using Taffy’s desired pronoun, would be crimethink.
Perhaps I don’t “get the joke” of this arc because I have low tolerance for “practical joke” alleged-humor, especially when it is extended (short slapstick sequences are more endurable for me when they are short/when the perpetrator suffers an ironic rejoinder). This sequence feels to me painfully overextended, uninteresting, and as if I’m being forceably “playfully” elbowed to the effect of “this wacky new character sure is loveable for such an unwanted annoyance right RIGHT especially because TOLERANCE right RIGHT?!?!”
Welu:
Would you ever consider not respecting a cis person's pronouns because you didn't like them? That tends to be something only even thought of for nonbinary and trans people.
You're not obligated to like anyone, not even if they have a minority status. However it is not okay to hold that status over their head as something only worthy of respecting if they behave the right way.
Disagree. Call out shitty behaviour. Don't put up with someone disrespecting you. However you should not invalidate or threaten to invalidate anyone's identity and personhood in the process.

--- Quote from: Tova on 30 Nov 2017, 22:49 ---I have a name with an unusual spelling, so it is prone to misspelling.
I also have a high voice, so people sometimes mistake me as female over the phone (which can be a real problem when trying to establish that you are who you say you are).
--- End quote ---
Both for me. Try to spell your name over the phone with a unusual variant of the first name, plus a last name with two phonemes unexistant in my language, while being called "ma'm" all the time in spite of said first name being obsviously masculine. Ad that most phone companies' people just don't get my southern accent...
Man I hate phone companies. Tilly would be of help to get even with them.
