    Example:

    *"If you really want to improve yourself, stop concerning yourself with what pronouns others use for anyone or anything.

    Failing that, just shut the fuck up about it regardless of your concerns and you’ll have improved yourself tremendously."*

    Someone I know recently got a ban for that verbatim as a reply to someone who said they wanted to accept criticism and “improve” themselves after saying stupid shit about how important it was to refer to unknown animals as it instead of they.

    If you don’t think that’s overzealous I’m not sure what to say.
