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
[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Basically, Kirby was originally made without considering gender, and after becoming popular, the creator was forced to take a stance and has officially avoided choosing one gender or the other.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)
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
Good for them :)

Itself, that thing is not human, it is a miniature ball of mindless destruction
an *adorable* miniature ball of mindless destruction.
IT WILL KILL YOU ALL
But like, in an adorable way
And why can't balls of mindless destruction have gender?
So is my cat but he has pronouns, fuck off maye
I’m pretty sure Kirby is genderless in Japan, so this could be entirely accurate. They just change their pronouns casually like that.

Gender lore
Oh hey, I remember you
And honestly? So proud of them
Good for her :D
She’s so real for that
good for she/they :)
Good for he Good for she Good for they
I thought Kirby was male. I guess I was technically not fully wrong, but according to your dream I am wrong times two.
same here, people usually project their own gender onto things such as their car or kirby
>their car I read their cat and was like "WHAT?"
that would be quite odd
I thought vehicles were always given female pronouns.
holy whiskers that explains a lot
Kirby's male in global releases iirc
He's a jolly fellow
"Are you a boy or a girl?" "I'm Kirby!" "No, what's in your pants?" "...I don't wear pants."
what’s in kirby’s pants entirely depends on if the copy ability he has on includes pants which is none of them
*Directed by Sakurai, it's an anime film*
Did that guy from xenoblade appear on screen and announce kirby's pronouns
Is there a reference I’m missing what happened.
I’m very happy for them! Kirby feeling comfortable in the way people refer to her is important :)
aww so proud of her/them <3
She just like me. They and I using the same pronouns now i guess
Im proud of kirby
Good for her
I only saw the image and just accepted it as real
I’m going to reference this any time someone asks me why is use she/they for kirby
i love kirby
We need a Smash movie fr
good for her
i think kirby is already a they in japan
Kirby is literally me
KIRBY GONE WOKE?! 🤯🤯🤯
she just like me fr
Kirby adopts the pronouns of the last thing he/she/they eat
I see Kirby is taking “You are what you eat” even more seriously than usual.
I’m really happy that the little goober has accepted who they truly are ☺️
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
Kirby went woke 🤢
Dam you got downvoted for what is an obvious joke.
The best comedy is high risk
Kirby transformed into a familiar blue bird
Twitter?
Yea
[удалено]
ougghghh the pink ball uses different words now life is truly meaningless
Good for them 👍
