Mario Pronouns Rule : 196

[-] [email protected] 109 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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)_/¯

Without context this post was meaningless.

Thanks

[-] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

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?

[-] [email protected] 80 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

"My pronouns are Mario/Luigi."

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

It sounds like a bait but it unfortunately isn't

[-] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

This guy literally whining about the new voice actor having pronouns

[-] [email protected] 70 points 11 months ago

What a sad life that person lives

[-] [email protected] 67 points 11 months ago

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] 29 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Excuse me what are grape nuts

[-] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago

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!

[-] [email protected] 57 points 11 months ago

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 11 months ago

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] 14 points 11 months 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] 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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

[-] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago

Maybe gender role abolitionists, but not gender altogether

[-] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago

Yeah, most folks who claim to be full on Gender Abolitionists are really just using that guise to cover for being TERFs, as in "Trans people shouldn't be recognized because abolish gender!"

[-] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

As a straight, white, born male, I never understand how people can get so upset about a stranger, who means nothing to them, just because they use different pronouns.

Like, you're gonna be dead within the next 50 years. Why do you care so much about someone you'll forget in less than a day? Why belittle them just because they want to be happy in themselves?

I can understand it if you were in a serious relationship with someone, and they realised they wanted to be a different gender. Especially if you're fully straight. Then they became a man or woman, I'm sure it'd be very hard to cope with. From both people. But in the context of people that have absolutely no impact on you? Why do you care so much?

We're all on a dead rock floating through space, with the only guarantee in life being death. Fuck off. Calm down. Have a pint. It's ain't that deep.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

I've heard people say "I'm worried for their health!" or "They're hurting / destroying their body!" or shit nonsense.

Yeah. People smoke, drink, do drugs, get tattoos, and fucking whatever. I'd roundhouse-kick someone to the face if they decided that they get to have a say in what I do with my body. Fuck off and mind your own damn business.

Even if you're a """concerned family member""", you still don't get a fucking say in how I choose to conduct my private life.

I'm not trans, but holy shit, simply existing for those folks sounds goddamn exhausting. I'll fight for & support their right to be left the fuck alone.

Pronouns are played out.

I'm all about amateurnouns.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

What's your adverb? Mine is lazily.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago

“My” is a pronoun.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

I think it's an adjective.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

By most modern accounts, it's a determiner.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

One of them floaty guys that try to kill Harry?

[-] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

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".
