I want to open up a conversation on the use of the term "sleepers". I'd
like to propose that we use wording like "Qwerty was found sleeping" (which
describes an act that Qwerty did), rather than calling them a "sleeper"
(which ascribes a quality to Qwerty). I believe that the latter creates an
otherizing effect and is counter to my sense of Sudo Room's dedication to
inclusivity.
Omninom,
Vicky
