Since when does everyone have to share their gender online anyway?

I have gotten bothered about this a lot in the past. But I just run a fanart account. I only want to post my art, not politicize my account, and there is no need to know my gender for any of that.

Did you see how Reddit is going to offer people the option to share their gender identity? LMAO

This information will be used...to improve content and community recommendations

So, they’re saying users who choose female will be recommended stereotypically female subs? Sounds kinda sexist.

No, they will be recommended to AGPs to harass.

Ugh, now people on Reddit will be complaining about the lack of pronouns in bio too.
