@TheReaperFish1@griffinogood2@PedrooGames2@ReikoCore However, identifying this to be the case requires an established pattern of only ever using they/them at every given opportunity. This is one post. No such pattern can be established.
@TheReaperFish1@griffinogood2@PedrooGames2@ReikoCore Also, I feel I should add, I don't disagree that they/theming a trans person even if they're generally okay with it can indeed be misgendering if you do so specifically to avoid using their proper preferred pronouns.
@TheReaperFish1@griffinogood2@PedrooGames2@ReikoCore You can't just assume I don't talk to as many trans people as you do. My current partner is trans, 3 of my exes (2 of which I still talk to) are trans, dozens of my friends are trans, my uncle is trans, and I myself am also under the trans umbrella. Don't pretend to know better.
@TheReaperFish1@griffinogood2@PedrooGames2@ReikoCore Often? I have met exactly two people ever that felt misgendered by "they/them" (both go by it/its instead). 99% of the time it's not misgendering and is just a safe thing to default to (and as a safe default, it just comes out naturally sometimes and it's not a big deal).
@kippykip1@cheapmoab @CisHetKrls I looked and it, rather than referring to Kris by name more often to clear up (unwarranted) confusion, it just misgenders Kris. The former would be one thing, the latter is just bigotry and erasure, and thus not okay. Also "they" never stopped being singular as you suggest. (2/2)
@kippykip1@cheapmoab @CisHetKrls Non-binary people have always existed (examples: Gluck, the Public Universal Friend), we just didn't have a proper term for them in English till recently. If your dictionary said that "they" is *only* used in the plural form, it was wrong. As for the mod you mention... (1/2)
@kippykip1@cheapmoab @CisHetKrls It has been this way for hundreds of years; like I said, singular "they" predates singular "you". Additionally, also as I said, you not knowing who they're referring to till a future line is just a you problem. I had no issues understanding when it was Kris being referred to.
@kippykip1@cheapmoab @CisHetKrls Speaking as a hobbyist novelist that always scored extremely high percentiles on any and all standardized ELA tests, you were taught incorrectly. "They" is used for groups, or as a gender-neutral pronoun for a singular person of either indeterminate gender or enby identity.
@kippykip1@cheapmoab @CisHetKrls Broken English? Skill issue dude, "they" has existed in the singular form in the English language for longer than singular "you". I have had zero issues understanding who is being referred to at any given point.
@biobak64@fige1997@RHVGamer Sometimes I refer to actual people I already know the gender of with they/them. It's gender neutral so it's rarely wrong, it's just my natural default so sometimes I just say it automatically, and sometimes depending on context it just flows better. It's really not that deep.
@mordecairigby27@ronicasawyer@Schaffrillas Thinking that a thing as subjective as a favorite movies list *has* to have something as shallow as a foreign quota in order to qualify for "intelligent thought" reeks of insecurity in your own intelligence and the need to feel superior to others.
@GGamerBobRdy@kaitybella@lobsterbooty I can eat an entire pizza on my own, and I'm 5'6" 135 lbs, which by the way is near-exactly in the middle of the healthy BMI range.
@TVHEAD3@Liquid_Gun68@KILLER_OUTLET I could see that with Frisk in Undertale, but Kris being non-binary is an actually vital part of their character and the themes of the story. The game makes it very clear that we aren't Kris; Kris is their own person, a person everyone refers to as "they" without knowing about us
@GarveyFunGuy@__suffering__y@ItsSaulGoodDude If you want difficulty, that's what the secret bosses are for, as they are *far* more difficult than anything else in the game. If you play the game and first try every secret boss, then oh well I guess you're just cracked and an extreme outlier.
@GarveyFunGuy@__suffering__y@ItsSaulGoodDude You can't call a game easy if you don't play it. The game is meant to be easy enough for most people to beat, because it is a story game first and foremost and making it too hard for most people would make it so they can't experience the story firsthand.
