Edit: Don’t just downvote and run away, make your liberalism known. If you have an issue with either of these, please let them be known in the comments. C’mon, let’s duke it out. :)
For the libs shouting “but muh anonymity”, you should have zero issue using the “any pronoun” tag as you will be addressed with any pronouns regardless of whether or not you have it set. The point of having them sitewide is for everyone to use them to normalize explicitly stating one’s pronouns as a means of not forcing trans people to request to be addressed with basic respect. The amount of pushback on a meaningful step toward trans inclusivity in this community is pretty fucking disheartening, not gonna lie.
Folks seem to be using the NSFW tag for the spoiler effect on memes, and while it’s a funny use of it, it’s causing the intended use of the NSFW tag to lose its value. This isn’t r/WatchPeopleDie. Personally, I was exposed to that sort of content at a younger age and am desensitized to it now, but not everyone is like me in that regard and I’m probably more fucked up than I like to think for having been as exposed to it as I was. We currently don’t have another way of tagging content, so please be considerate and put “[NSFL]” or content warnings in the title so people know they’ll be looking at some heavy shit. Not a lot to ask. Please do not start ironically putting “[NSFL]” or other content warnings in the post title. You’re more creative than that, I promise.

Can we just make this standard and then if people don’t like “any pronoun” they can either switch to an actual pronoun or shut the fuck up because there’s no blank option?
that deals with the people getting misgendered part but 👀 the transphobia in this thread. that’s a whole other thing we also have to deal with.
C’mon comrades, show solidarity, choose they/them if you don’t want random internet people knowing your gender.
Also, please please make sure your titles make it explicitly clear when it’s a picture of some chud lying there with his face blown off, I wanna make sure I don’t miss that kind of content.
the difference between this thread and the one where we announced the pronoun tags in the first place is staggering. look at the votes on this thread: 25% of people are mad about pronouns. really feeling that solidarity.
