How to get out of an uncomfortable egg culture situation with this one simple trick.

Real talk: Calling people eggs is a violation of the egg prime directive, and is considered invalidating as you are trying to say that a person is not the gender they identify as, that their identity is invalid. Don’t call people eggs, like ever, it’s extremely uncool.

    To be honest, not really. Call me isolated but idea you are describing sounds more like a bunch of tactless mooks making asses of themselves than an existential threat.

    Yeah it’s very clear you are unaware of the severity of the issue, or blind to it and the problems it causes. It also seems like you are unwilling to learn the details of the situation because when I give information about it, you ignore it or come to your own conclusions that seem to miss the mark entirely. To the point where I’m not even sure you aren’t having this discussion in bad faith.

    Shame that poisons the well on using egg in a self-referential context since that’s the more benign definition

    It doesn’t have to, it can be used in ways that are acceptable. I really recommend you read the Egg prime directive speech I posted in Egg_irl. It explains the ways one can use “egg” correctly and the ways that are incorrect or harmful. I don’t really think you will though. From how you’ve engaged it seems like you’re more than happy to stick to your own conclusions despite others telling and showing you they are wrong. Since there is nothing more to say, I think this conversation is over.
