This is problematic male-centric speech, '
androcentrism in linguistics' as we like to call it in our DEI(Diversity, Equity, Inclusion)instructor team..
"you guys" and "his" are not inclusive words, replace "you guys" with "you folk" and replace "his" with "their" to keep the atmosphere surrounding this thread as healthy and nice as possible, for
everyone. (Even if the person in question said that their pronouns are he/him, it dont matter. Gendered pronouns are oppressive and old-fashioned to begin with, everyone should just use they/them, xenopronouns or neopronouns in 2024, for realsies)

This is unacceptable word to use especially in the title of public forum thread, it does not matter if it was 10 years ago, using terms like that can be really hurtful and offensive, especially to the LGBTQ+ community. It's important that we create a welcoming space for everyone here, and even older threads using offensive and derogatory terms should be cleaned, so people can have safe experience browsing through old-threads&memories.
Let's be mindful of the language we use and try to keep our forum inclusive and respectful for all members. Thanks for understanding!
