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

[-] Jimmyeatsausage@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

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

[-] xantoxis@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year 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.

[-] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 11 points 1 year ago

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

[-] bbpolterGAYst@lemmy.blahaj.zone 80 points 1 year 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

[-] Gabu@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

"My pronouns are Mario/Luigi."

[-] leap123@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It sounds like a bait but it unfortunately isn't

[-] leap123@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

This guy literally whining about the new voice actor having pronouns

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 70 points 1 year ago

What a sad life that person lives

[-] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 67 points 1 year 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

[-] Deiv@lemmy.ca 29 points 1 year ago

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

[-] BigWumbo@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

You just live to see grapes be abused, huh?

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 6 points 1 year ago

Excuse me what are grape nuts

[-] BigWumbo@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

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

[-] pancakesyrupyum@kbin.social 57 points 1 year ago

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@lemmy.world 57 points 1 year 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.

[-] pancakesyrupyum@kbin.social 23 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

[-] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 53 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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!"

[-] Jank@literature.cafe 14 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.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] Velonie@beehaw.org 19 points 1 year ago

Maybe gender role abolitionists, but not gender altogether

[-] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year 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!"

[-] Resistentialism@feddit.uk 8 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.

Pronouns are played out.

I'm all about amateurnouns.

[-] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

What's your adverb? Mine is lazily.

[-] CarlsIII@kbin.social 19 points 1 year ago
[-] Ignacio@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

I think it's an adjective.

[-] Castigant@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

By most modern accounts, it's a determiner.

[-] CosmicApe@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago

One of them floaty guys that try to kill Harry?

[-] Ignacio@kbin.social 7 points 1 year 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".

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

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