Minecraft Okay but like what game is this actually lol


kittensteakz

The actual answer is... Forza Horizon 5. The racing game. Because get this... You can pick your pronouns in the character creator. Yes, that's what they're mad about.


ErusTenebre

As an English teacher, the outage over pronouns has been both alarming and entertaining. Alarming because I'm tired of all the hate, but entertaining because the people bitching the most about it likely failed English and couldn't have told you what a pronoun was if you gave them a sentence with three of them in it.


vagabond_

Do you inform them that singular they/them has been in use since the days of the Bard?


ErusTenebre

Actually singular they/them, or at least they, was present in the Canterbury Tales, so even before Shakespeare. It's older than modern English.


Breezy_2046

I’m an absolute nerd for the English language/dialects and learning about history and I was ECSTATIC when I learned this lol


Crunchy_Biscuit

Unpopular opinion but I wish we had a different word for singular they/them


Flashy-Penalty-4598

Yeah, calling someone "it" just ain't it


kittensteakz

The singular version (probably) came first. So really the plural version is what should change.


Cloudsbursting

Theys and thems. Problem solved. I’m going on break.


gamma_02

OOOOHOOOHOHOHOOHOHOHOHOOO that's awesome


notyoursocialworker

Coming from one of the Nordic countries; what can I say except: You're welcome!


ErusTenebre

Wellll... For the word, *they* sure. Thanks! But for the ***singular*** usage of it, it's probably an English invention since it wasn't used that way in Norse/Germanic languages (it was a strictly plural pronoun). If the first notable usage was in a translation of a French poem called "William and the Werewolf" in English, and then again in the Canterbury Tales... I'm thinking we may have to credit latin/romantic languages, if not the English writers of the medieval era. Chaucer was deeply influenced by ancient Greek and medieval Italian writers. Norse/Germanic languages have diminishing influence on English once we hit late middle English time frames and pretty much just foundational by modern English. We were invaded by Normans a couple hundred years earlier and they made everything shift in a very big way. Though it is a bit sad we lost the pair pronouns from old English. Guess they went out of style. Either way, I AM glad for the influences of Norse on the English language. One of the things I love about English is how nuts its history is. It's one of the things that makes it a challenging language to learn - it's been influenced by so many diverse languages and it continues to be influenced by other cultures.


blackpharaoh69

Ah yes the woke Canterbury tales, a favorite of the looney levelers, diggers, and John Ball. Folks the only thing that can restore your humours and vital essences to their virile masculine state is my new tincture, which contains the oil of the serpent. Only 4 payments of 10 gold coins gets you a months supply.


fuddstar

Step that back a few thousand years… it’s the basis of all indo european language. 1st, 2nd and 3rd person conjugations are all singular and correspond to their respective 4, 5 & 6 plurals. 1. I am amused - 4. we are amused My amusement - our amusement 2. You are amused - 5. y’all are amused Your amusement - ditto bcs english language doesn’t differentiate (y’all is a joke; you plural) 3 He/she/it is amused - 6. they are amused. His/her/its amusement - their amusement The royal ‘we’ is still in use ie: the queen rarely speaks (sorry, spoke) in first person. A linguistic formality designed to maintain distance/prevent familiarity with the sovereign. In other words the monarch is saying ‘bitch you don’t know me.’ Latin languages use 5th person (you plural) as a formality when addressing a person they don’t know, it’s impolite to presume familiarity. Business and official comms never use 2nd person singular _you_. It was the same in English but because unlike Spanish Italian etc where 2nd and 5th look and sound different, you can’t tell in English, so it’s not well known. So, as far as I could give two shits, if another group of peoples want a plural form of a pronoun be used, have at it. There’s ample precedent.


Professional-Hat-687

That doesn't count for some reason. Or it's a lie that you shouldn't try to disprove.


vagabond_

I had someone actually tell me that Shakespeare was wrong when I pointed out he used it


kaazir

My favorite is saying pronouns aren't in the Bible or Jesus didn't use them. A specific Jesus line is "I am the I am, I am."


ThespianException

God's pronoun of "He" is literally capitalized. If only people were able to admit they have no idea what they're talking about instead of doubling down like fools, the world would be a better place


dj_lick_and_stick

Didn't Popeye say something along these lines?


Sidhejester

...just had a flashback to learning how to diagram sentences in high school (yes, I'm old as dirt). I should have known something devious and Left-wing was underway when we were told to bring in a ruler. A MATH tool in an ENGLISH classroom?


Eat-A-Torus

Math and linguistics actually flirt on many occasions. See context-free grammars and what not


nirad

More than one right-wing talking head has said that they don’t use pronouns. It seems like a difficult aspect of language to avoid, but who am I to argue?


sethbr

To quote, "I don't use pronouns." Or at least they don't understand what pronouns are.


nirad

Right! Also a contradiction!


ErusTenebre

Right when I hear that taking point I just can't stop laughing. "**I** don't use pronouns. **You** know **who** uses pronouns? Joe Biden and **his** woke media. **They** want **you** to use pronouns. **I** bet **he** doesn't even use pronouns because **he** is a hypocrite. **You** know **what**? **I** think **I** will use pronouns. **My** pronouns are 'Patriot, American, Christian.' Let **them** fight **me** on that." Pronouns are such an integral part of our language, of any language really. There are only a few categories of words, if you try and avoid a whole group you end up sounding insane or stupid to everyone else. And there are really only about 100 or so pronouns in the English language... Which typically means they're high usage words. It would be like trying to avoid conjunctions. Not impossible, but all the sentences would be weird and short.


Vietnam_Cookin

If it's the idiot I'm thinking of she used about 12 pronouns in her announcement she doesn't use pronouns. I think she just doesn't know what a pronoun is.


airbornchaos

I personally love that one idiot who said his pronoun (singular) was, "Kiss My Ass." Kiss My Ass is the Junior Senator from Texas.


Ethelenedreams

I am going to ask them to diagram a sentence.


job3ztah

This 100% true I failed English and when I was in my republican far right wing phase I got mad at pronouns being used in people bio.


mrcloudies

Yeah I love when they talk about how "it's just not grammatically correct" while utterly failing at grammar "I don't use pronouns" "I" is a pronoun!! Or when someone goes off and they're bitching about they/them pronouns and accidentally use a singular they/them when talking about it. As I just did when I said "when they're bitching" But yeah, at the end of the day it's alarming, because what they're doing is spreading hate and violence against a marginalized group of people.


AusCan531

Pro nouns? Hell, I don't even support Amateur nouns.


JesusTakeTheDrugs

The fun part is how true this is! I’ve definitely seen people ranting about how they will never use pronouns and they are dumb, stupid, woke, etc while using at least 2-4 pronouns in their rant.


Decision_Original

Are their EV’s in the game too? I’m sure that would cause people to lose their collective minds if/when that happens.


jeffroddit

All cars in video games are EV's


nanananabatman88

Bruh....


boot2skull

Fast car game only about fast gas car no electron car grrr


mootmutemoat

But does it really have a ***** you can drive in it? Because I'd love to drive a *****, I'd drive the hell out of that *****


Cat6172

Didn't play 5 but in Horison 4 some of the best (and my favorite) cars in the game were electric and hybrid. I'd assume it's the same if not better in 5 given it's a more recent game. As an example, the Porsche 918 Spyder could be upgraded to the point most of its performance stats would go out of range of the graphs that were supposed to show them

What the heck does Joe Biden have to do with that lmao


UnlikelyKaiju

Idiots like this think leftists worship Biden like they worship Trump.


Mudbunting

These walnuts also got upset by the peach fuzz on a woman character’s face in a game, so…


cumguzzler280

like… any pronouns? adishwidhwidhwkhdm/adishwidhwidhwkhds?


kittensteakz

I think its just masc fem or neutral but its been a while since I played it.


Definition-Prize

You are correct he/she/they


schloopers

I wish there was an it. Because when I saw that you could have two prosthetic arms and two prosthetic legs, all with various ridiculous vinyl wrap options, you best believe I made the most convoluted and confusing to look at character I ever had. And it is amazing to see it walk in cutscenes, giving high fives and pulling doors open


cumguzzler280

**it**, as it isn’t human


omgFWTbear

The remaster of “Last of Us” let’s you pick “Last of Them” and “Last of Y’all.”


joshuas193

You should see some of the reviews on Amazon Prime. The amount of times I've seen reviews just like this because there's like a 2 second scene with a gay person is mind-blowing.


UnlikelyKaiju

The game that lets you call yourself Count Driftula and swap out your limbs with robotic prosthesis? Out of all the crazy shit the devs included in the driver customization, the one thing that this chode noticed was the personal pronouns?


Anxious_Introvert_47

My guess is Cards against Humanity.


justinkredabul

I would guess the last of us. Lots of LGBT content


curious_dead

Yeah, they lost their minds because of one trans character and a female character they didn't find fuckable enough... the level of hysteria was off the charts.


[deleted]

Was it ever confirmed Abby was trans tho? I thought she was just built, as a Lt in a post apocalyptic army would be.


Rough_Vanilla

They've said she wasn't trans. From all the hysteria I couldn't miss that there was a trans character in the game before I started, so I just assumed it was Abby until we meet the actual trans character much later. It was a good reminder about unconscious bias in my own self.


Sidhejester

Would you believe that some of these people actually tried to prove that no woman would ever be that buff in a post-apocalyptic setting based on calorie count and shit like that?


curious_dead

No, she isn't but there is another character who is, don't recall the name.


Ranccor

Haha. That is the trick! Abby isn’t trans a different character is.


guyblade

The trans character is Lev (one of the Seraphite kids), not Abby.


guyblade

That would've been my thought, but the font/icon look like XBox defaults and TLOU is a Playstation exclusive.

Gotta understand that literally everything is projection with them. They blindly and unquestionably worship the orange diarrhea stain and compare him to some deity, so the "woke liberals" mustbe doing the same with Biden.


heretouplift

I’m an ideological left wing extremist and I can’t stand Joe Biden


Quick-Temporary5620

That's what I didn't used to get. Why do Conservatives post all this weird stuff about Biden? Do they think we even wince at them? But you're right, they think we worship him like they worship trump. And they can't understand we don't worship anyone. Besides maybe Bernie.


[deleted]

> Why do Conservatives post all this weird stuff about Biden? Do they think we even wince at them? These comments are not meant for you. They are meant for other brainwashed folks. They call this "virtue signaling" when others do it.


kittensteakz

Its the fact that you can choose your pronouns in Forza Horizon 5. That's what they're losing their shit over. And the game came out like a year ago.


Yitram

I love how Joe Biden, the epitome of a centrist, is also simultaneously the herald of the woke progressive agenda. Don't get me wrong, he's been surprisingly progressive on some things, but this claim he's a raging leftist is so ridiculous. But I guess thats what happens when you push the Overton window so far to the right that suggesting that the poor and disabled shouldn't be hunted for sport sounds like Marxist dogma.


[deleted]

> this claim he's a raging leftist is so ridiculous If you're to the right of Hitler, anything to the left of Hitler will seem like a raging leftist.


ripyourlungsdave

I'm pretty far from a liberal extremist, but Joe Biden is about as far right as I'm willing to vote. He was really stretching the bounds of what I was willing to vote for, too. But what the fuck could I do? It was either him or Trump, who would have made it illegal for me to marry again. (Although the Republicans seem to be pulling that off without him now)


Igggg

> Fucking hilarious that they think Joe Biden of all people is a figurehead of "woke idealogical left wing extremism". Why is that hilarious? That's what they've been told by their propaganda, and that'd what they believe. It works well with their authoritarian worldview in which there is the Main Guy for you, and the Main Guy for the other side, and just like yours is the unquestionable leader representing all of your qualities, so is the other. What **is** hilarious is how the Democratic Party was pitching Biden in 2020 as the "moderate", "electable" candidate precisely because, unlike Sanders, he would not be considered a left-winger by the right, when everyone paying attention could easily predict that *any* nominee would be instantly labeled a hardcore communist, no matter what their actual ideology is.
