So if you don't know, Kevin Afghani, the new voice actor for Mario and Luigi...

[insert drumroll sounds]

...has he/him in his Twitter bio.

Yeah that's it. It's not that the voice actor uses some kind of pronouns that may trigger people like they/them, xe/xim, etc. It's that the voice actor is a cisgender male who uses he/him like any other normal male human and nothing else. SwitchPlayed is literally whining about nothing.

You think you're so woke, but look at you dead naming X. Better check your privilege

I've been told that corporations are people, and you should call people the names assigned at birth, so that's what I'm doing.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I stand behind x.

I will not clarify if I'm taking about the social media site or the porn site.

Without context this post was meaningless.

Thanks

The he/him indicates support, or at least acceptance, of trans people. The only thing that's good enough for these people is openly hating trans people.

Is this the "forced diversity" I keep hearing about?

the "no pronoun people in my nintendo" part was so fucking funny that i had to look up whether this is bait or not

[–] Gabu 10 points 1 year ago

"My pronouns are Mario/Luigi."

[–] leap123 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It sounds like a bait but it unfortunately isn't

saying that yer afraid of pronouns because trans people use them is like saying yer afraid of cereal because some people eat raisin bran and you eat frosted flakes

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Let's be real tho, raisin bran is pretty fucking terrifying

[–] BigWumbo 23 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Raisin Bran slaps and while I’m here so do Grape Nuts

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Excuse me what are grape nuts

It’s basically tiny 100% fiber nuggets. It feels like you’re chewing gravel it’s great

So I don’t know what “Mario is pronouns now” means, and I don’t want to feed a Search Engine to figure it out. Sounds like I don’t need to know!

[–] kraftpudding 58 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The new voice actor for Mario and Luigi in the next game, Kevin Afghani, afaik a cis man has ... drumroll please ... he/him pronouns in his twitter bio. They're literally whining about a cis man using male pronouns.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Hmm. That’s not a controversial as I was hoping for.

Nintendo isn’t being bold enough.

Just start misgendering people who screech about hating pronouns.

"Hey, now! Leave Brian alone! She's just voicing her opinion! Don't attack her! She doesn't deserve all the hate just for that!"

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

I like to give them diminutive nicknames. Bill is now Wittle Biwwy. You don't get to choose what we call you, asshole.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The far right will hate it but the left won’t care since they’re gender abolitionists

What's your adverb? Mine is lazily.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I think it's an adjective.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

By most modern accounts, it's a determiner.

No, a determiner is a person who mines deuterium.

"My" is the first-person singular possessive pronoun in English. It fills the same role in a sentence as the pronouns "his" or "her" or "their".

"This is my/his/her/their thing."

I don't see how it could be anything but a pronoun.
