...It's not illegal to draw the country map wrong else I'd be in prison. I can't draw anything to save my life.
What Zeph is referring to is that maps of India are sometimes depicted with the State of Jammu & Kashmir (it's one state) lopped off entirely and as part of Pakistan while others show the State of Arunachal Pradesh as part of China or both. Both these states are quite big, and the government was understandably quite upset with this (as were the people). IIRC Google got a notice from the Government for fucking up its maps.


Edit: In what universe is this easy to draw??

OH! Now that makes sense! Thanks darth senpai, your wisdom is very useful, as always!

Btw, let's go to drawing class together!

This is a link to the actual bill: seems rather benign.

It can apparently lead to $250k in fines, and prison time, according to critics.

Have I missed something...? Does mispronounce involve genders? Pls Brian help me....

If a transgender requests in writing you use the word 'ze' to describe the transgender, then you are expected to use that term.

The critics say that if you 'forget' to use it, or mispronounce it because you aren't familiar with it, you could end up in prison..

It seems absurd of course, but the problem with Human Rights Commissions is that while 99% of the time, they do what they are supposed to do, there have been a couple of cases where they have destroyed peoples freedoms by taking advantage of the poorly written laws - laws that skillful prosecutors can and have used to trample over some unfortunate Canadians.

So because there is no excuse or exemption for mispronunciation, and because there is a legal precedence, then yes, it is conceivable a person could be imprisoned for mispronunciation of a pronoun.

What..... the....? Wow. I totally ignored these pronouns ever existed..... holy shit, thanks a lot Brian, this is totally new to me. Sounds pretty scary indeed... if I were in Canada I might end up in jail due to ignorance rather than illintentions...

What if we use "it"? Does that count as an attack against the person's gender?

When you talked about "mis pronouncing" I was thinking of pronounciation... not personal pronouns... my bad, sorry for the confusion!
