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] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It sounds like a bait but it unfortunately isn't

This guy literally whining about the new voice actor having pronouns

Transphobes eVolved from one braincell collectively to two, and thats terrifying

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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] 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

You just live to see grapes be abused, huh?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Excuse me what are grape nuts

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

yum

I assume they're grape flavored?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ahh that’s the thing. Not even remotely

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

then what do they taste like lol

and why are they named that I wonder

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

They even had commercials about how weird it is that they’re called grape nuts and don’t have either grapes or nuts.

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

Just looked it up-they don't even LOOK like grapes

It looks like granola

"Falsehoods" is a really weird theme for breakfast if you ask me..

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] 18 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] 6 points 1 year ago

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

Nintendo isn’t being bold enough.

SwitchPlayed is literally scared of nothing

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

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.

new voice actor has he/him in his Twitter bio

This is the first stage of the white christian genocide.

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pronouns are played out.

I'm all about amateurnouns.

Just start misgendering people who screech about hating pronouns.

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

[–] [email protected] 4 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] 1 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

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

Maybe gender role abolitionists, but not gender altogether

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

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] 1 points 1 year 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.

I think it's an adjective.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

By most modern accounts, it's a determiner.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

One of them floaty guys that try to kill Harry?

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

No, a determiner is a person who mines deuterium.
