Agnifilo argues against this decision. He is a model prisoner

The way the clothes they wear are flying off the shelves, and Luigi's outstanding photogenic quality, you bet they're a model prisoner.

did luigi come out as NB and i missed it? or why are you misgendering him?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 months ago (1 children)

In English "they" is neutral. It's also both singular and plural.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago (2 children)

neutral gender is appropriate when the gender is unknown or for NB people. otherwise it is appropriate to use the known gender

It's also perfectly appropriate to say they. It's not gendered

Thanks. I couldn't figure out how to say that without sounding like an asshole. You managed it flawlessly.

I don't know Luigi's gender for certain, nor is it relevant to my statement. Neutrality is appropriate.

Furthermore, I personally disapprove of gendered language in general. It's pointless. I can't think of one reason to keep that archaic tradition.
