    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.

    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

    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!

    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!”

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

          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!”

            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’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.
