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

/s

[–] Jimmyeatsausage@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years 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.

new voice actor has he/him in his Twitter bio

This is the first stage of the white christian genocide.

Without context this post was meaningless.

Thanks

[–] xantoxis@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] bbpolterGAYst@lemmy.blahaj.zone 78 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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 9 points 2 years ago

"My pronouns are Mario/Luigi."

[–] leap123@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

It sounds like a bait but it unfortunately isn't

[–] leap123@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

This guy literally whining about the new voice actor having pronouns

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 69 points 2 years ago

What a sad life that person lives

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 65 points 2 years 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

[–] Deiv@lemmy.ca 29 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] BigWumbo@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

You just live to see grapes be abused, huh?

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 6 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Excuse me what are grape nuts

[–] BigWumbo@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

yum

I assume they're grape flavored?

[–] BigWumbo@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ahh that’s the thing. Not even remotely

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You might be more familiar with the off brand, deez

[–] Gabu@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You set yourself up for one of the best "deez nuts" jokes ever, and nobody took the chance. I'm in shambles.

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 4 points 2 years ago

this keeps happening to me and I don't know why

[–] StarlightRose@lemmy.blahaj.zone 55 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 53 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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!"

[–] Jank@literature.cafe 14 points 2 years 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 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

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

[–] Velonie@beehaw.org 19 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Maybe gender role abolitionists, but not gender altogether

[–] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years 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!"

[–] Resistentialism@feddit.uk 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years 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.

When the business is pandering

You sound like a person who sorts things into a "woke" category.
