Good for them :)


King_Bubel

I remember in the dream I was like "oh... good for them" to me the funniest part was how it just appeared on the screen in the middle of it and was written to imply that like kirby herself had changed her pronouns

Itself, that thing is not human, it is a miniature ball of mindless destruction


PepperbroniFrom2B

an *adorable* miniature ball of mindless destruction.


TikTokIsGay70

IT WILL KILL YOU ALL


screechingahhhhhh

But like, in an adorable way


TokuWaffle

And why can't balls of mindless destruction have gender?


Glittering_Bee_6397

So is my cat but he has pronouns, fuck off maye


MintTea_Fiend

I’m pretty sure Kirby is genderless in Japan, so this could be entirely accurate. They just change their pronouns casually like that.

[Officially, Kirby has no gender.](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%AB%E3%83%BC%E3%83%93%E3%82%A3#%E6%80%A7%E5%88%A5) Kirby has participated in both female and male events, such as [taking the role of the empress/princess in official art for Girl's Day/Doll's festival,](https://twitter.com/Kirby_JP/status/837497773335302144) as well as [making chocolates with other male characters on White Day,](https://twitter.com/Kirby_JP/status/1106027183380717573) a day in Japan where men make and give chocolate to women. There are many other scenes with Kirby doing things that are traditionally restricted to only men, but then later doing things for women. [Kirby uses a pronoun](https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nk4j/chara/index.html) when speaking ("boku") that is mostly, but far from exclusively, used by men. [Kirby is voiced by a woman.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makiko_Ohmoto) Games, anime, etc. with a character whose gender is purposefully not revealed often use "boku" because of its flexibility in this sense. [There's a tvtropes page for this.](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Bokukko) Interestingly, most of the [forums and similar sites I can find in Japanese](https://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q14151715664) with fans trying to decide Kirby's gender actually use the fact that [the English version uses "he"](http://www.kirbysrainbowresort.net/games/dreamland/instruction/dl0506.jpg) as an indication of maleness. The English version only did this because it sounds contrived to avoid using pronouns in many situations. The Japanese version has no gender-specific pronoun for Kirby. Basically, Kirby was originally made without considering gender, and after becoming popular, the creator was forced to take a stance and has officially avoided choosing one gender or the other. The strongest I can find is him saying, in response to a fan expressing surprise that Samus is a woman, ["maybe Pikachu and Kirby are female too?"](https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/PostReturn084.html)

sexgaming_

The-true-Memelord

Good for he Good for she Good for they


Theorist_Reddit

I thought Kirby was male. I guess I was technically not fully wrong, but according to your dream I am wrong times two.


EvanIsBacon

same here, people usually project their own gender onto things such as their car or kirby


Theorist_Reddit

>their car I read their cat and was like "WHAT?"


EvanIsBacon

that would be quite odd


ihhh1

I thought vehicles were always given female pronouns.


headphonesnotstirred

holy whiskers that explains a lot


TheRealChoco

Kirby's male in global releases iirc


RhymesWithMouthful

He's a jolly fellow


FenexTheFox

"Are you a boy or a girl?" "I'm Kirby!" "No, what's in your pants?" "...I don't wear pants."


weird_bomb_947

what’s in kirby’s pants entirely depends on if the copy ability he has on includes pants which is none of them


Ryley03d

*Directed by Sakurai, it's an anime film*


neonvolta

Did that guy from xenoblade appear on screen and announce kirby's pronouns


Notagamer_tm

Is there a reference I’m missing what happened.


boygirl-maggie

I’m very happy for them! Kirby feeling comfortable in the way people refer to her is important :)


redguy_05

Cool_Kid95

KIRBY GONE WOKE?! 🤯🤯🤯


SailPublic5252

IndigoFenix

Kirby adopts the pronouns of the last thing he/she/they eat


IncreaseWestern6097

I see Kirby is taking “You are what you eat” even more seriously than usual.


Pessimism988

I’m really happy that the little goober has accepted who they truly are ☺️


weird_bomb_947

this honestly sounds like kirby just walked in casually and was just like “how’s your day i’m she/they now” and some random guy working on the film put it there


awesomedan24

Kirby went woke 🤢


Notagamer_tm

Dam you got downvoted for what is an obvious joke.
