On Gender Neutral Audios (Patreon)
Content
Hello everyone, hope you're doing well.
I was going through my exit surveys to see the areas in which I can improve on and I came across one that genuinely hurt me, which prompted this post.
Not to get too into it, the former patron that posted it stated that for them, it's rather harmful to listen to audios in a series that had been labeled as "F4A" then later on was changed to "F4M" as it inadvertently "encouraged" gender dysphoria for them.
If you are reading this, please accept my most sincerest apologies on this matter. I don't have any excuses or explanations I can offer to try and mitigate the harm I caused and I'm really sorry. The only thing I can offer now is a promise that it won't happen again.
It's rather difficult for me to read this person's criticism and in the same breath, see a myriad of comments telling me to stop making "F4A" audios as there's no such thing as a "4A" demographic/gender, which can not be further from the truth. However, that's not an excuse.
Going forward, I will be more mindful on tags implying gendered listeners, especially if those tags are part of a running series with the same listener character. I take full responsibility for this indiscretion and I appreciate the feedback/criticism.
Thanks for reading, take care.
