          fit-girl 🤓

          They use images of Audrey Tautou as their pic, and have stated in a few forums (back when) that they’re not female.

          Numerous newcomers to the scene still simp and refer to them as one, though. Because profile pics are proof of anything IRL, yep. 🙄

            In fairness, their name is fitgirl not fitperson so I’d say it’s at least somewhat understandable to start with she/her pronouns.

                One is a random/transient image, the other is a chosen name they identify with. People quite often put random anime/movie/show images as their pfp, they don’t normally put an explicit gender in their name. If you don’t understand how that is different, I don’t know that I can help you understand.

                  FYI, “fit” was slang for “attractive” long before it was short for “outfit”, ergo the username is not an “explicit” statement of the user’s/users’ gender IRL. ☝🏼

      This is allowed because the DMCA sucks. It specifically calls out that circumventing copy protection is a violation. This also means that any company that adds protection also is able to effectively deny your right to make a backup copy.

      This doesn’t apply to physical goods where ownership actually has meaning.
