I wanted to work at Oxide until I realized I would not be a fit for yall's culture.
I could not work at a place where I would be corrected for praise of an accomplishment or working under the fear of misapplying a generally accepted term. The inability to include those who have different opinions by accepting different accents or euphemisms.
As those of us from the upper Midwest keep telling the rest of you guys
"you guys" is just our y'all, it is not gendered! We keep explaining this, we'll add redundant statements like "I have called a group of only women 'you guys', frequently!" and it's like you refuse to believe us.

I'm not sure why you think accents would be an issue at Oxide.

did I mention men or women or non-binary ?
this is political grand-standing or political correctness that leads to nowhere.
did I precede my statement with I'm a black cis-gendered man who likes women and more women ?
honestly some things have to stop.
