Re:Going Beyond ‘Do You Know of Any Open Positions?’ by DaftTomatoes on Wednesday July 12, 2023 @04:34PM (#36701264)
You're correct in that you didn't use those words, and it's fair to state that; I do however stand by my comment. What underlies my rephrasing of it into that form is this:

> Openly gay != in everyone’s face writing preachy DEI memos and forcing pronoun campaigns Essentially, don’t advertise that you might bring drama to the workplace.

The points you're listing (DEI, pronouns) are efforts to _address_ people who _do_ have those feelings, but you word it in a way that makes it seem _bad_, using words like "preachy", "force" to describe what's really pretty low effort asks on the part of businesses towards it's employees to be more inclusive.

To put it bluntly, how is asking to _not misgender_ someone "a campaign"? How is asking to reduce biases against people of color "a campaign"? You're right in that you're not saying things like "insufferable", but you're specifically choosing to callout certain items, with certain phrasing, and that makes _me_ think _you_ don't find those items to be good.

If you have been subjected to "campaigns" for those listed items, _please describe them_ so we can better understand.
