    @p not an honest translation, but there have been edits like the Jefferson Bible. I think a gender-neutral Bible could happen.
    The CJK motivations can vary:
    a. it's an honest attempt to preserve some deliberately ambiguity that's easy in the original but awkward in English. A shadowy figure arrives and observes the protagonist, and even though in the next chapter it's revealed that the shadowy figure is a woman, you wouldn't know until then and the translator doesn't want to spoil that with a bunch of pronouns.
    b. it's a formulaic preservation of incidental ambiguity. The shadowy figure is a young woman talking to the protagonist and not disguising her voice in any way, so the protagonist should immediately know her sex, but the original language doesn't make it clear for a few paragraphs
    c. the translator is delighted to use a bunch of 'they' pronouns and the original language can't be blamed for it. This can be the case with sexless beings like spirits, or a pet cat where nobody cares about its sex, or some gender-bending character like the angel from Interspeces Reviewers who is regarded as a man by everyone in the story, but referred to in narration as 'they' because the translator has some extra information.

    @p There's a lot of carefully sex-ambiguous language in CJK translations that's somewhat similar to it, but I wrote that, and I haven't seen someone mangle the Bible like that.

    Robert Heinlein had some Venusian aliens who had a cultural taboo about being seen while eating. Even when briefly tasting something, the polite thing to do was to turn away from other people to do so. A simple, amusing reflection of human taboos.

    But nowhere in science fiction is there a taboo like the modern one about using language that suggests that humans come in male and female, and that these form a breeding pair, and actually that this is the norm for the animal kingdom. Nowhere in science fiction are there Type A and Type B in the character creator, or 'theyglish', or circumlocutions like
    >In the beginning, God created a person. And then to give that person a significant other to start a polycule with, God created another person.
    What could even be this dumb? Perhaps an alien species with a cultural taboo about distinguishing light from darkness.
    >In the beginning, God separated different intensities of shadow - though all remained equal. And God said "let there be BOTH darkness AND light"
    where it's a severe faux pas to ask if it shouldn't be "light and darkness". You have to change the order or it's light supremacism, OK?

    @toiletpaper @Zettour @lain @sun there used to be a lot of arguments that could be made in favor of the west, like
    >free speech
    >free markets
    >free movement
    >little bureaucracy
    >little police state
    >little corruption
    >little censorship
    >good healthcare
    >good government
    but now it's just "do you want gay pride parades and for kids to secretly be chemically castrated?" and that's perhaps not as appealing as getting your books delivered by Yandex robot

    @lain is there any other community that has as much reflexive rumination about price?
    >this feels like a $20 game
    >$35, max
    >for $100 it should come with at least 4.333 DLCs, and not only 2 DLCs
    >buy it only if discounted to $4. The $10 price is too high
    these don't even feel like sincere statements, but formulaic ones. After blowing 500 hours on this live service game I'm obliged to argue that the skins are well-priced, but that the palette colors should be free.

    @crunklord420 it was a mistake to antagonize cheaters so much. Cheaters don't play by the rules.

    @waifu yeah. Programs that screen record or interact with the pastebuffer are most often what's broken by it. It's important to warn her that something called "Wayland" broke stuff like this, as otherwise Linux itself just looks broken when the first apps she tries all completely fail to work.
    With that caveat, "Software" is great for normies. It's a very accessible free store for somewhat-sandboxed apps.

    >I've read the books, I don't want to live them.
    ok
    >The Giver
    do you remember that book at all? In what possible way are you at any risk of living that book? Do you think your state-mandated neurolink will disable your color perception?
    >The Hunger Games
    we just lived through four years of clownish cross-dressing elites. Not sure what else was in that series.
    >The Handmaid's Tale
    are the state-mandated neurolinks also going to sterilize most of the female population of the planet?
    These are strangely very remote worries to have.
    >1984
    we're living it right now, in almost every aspect, but it's a even less dignified because you do not even get the torturer's honest demands on your mind, but only gaslighting.
    >Fahrenheit 451
    have you read any of Dugin's books? How bout "200 Years Together"? Can you view RT posts on Telegram?
    Or hey, I've found a pretty good book on this Russian e-book website. Want to buy it with your VISA card?
