Oh, Polygon..

[Raven Ranks]

So we're reviewing games based on this now?

"Thankfully, your character’s gender is not tied to your choice of genitals. You can create a dude with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ or a lady with a ♥♥♥♥♥, that’s no problem. But because of everything else about how the game handles trans identity, this hardly feels like the progressive step it should be. Rather than just letting you pick your pronouns independently of all your other character creation choices, your pronouns are assigned based on your selection of voice: Pick the “feminine” voice and your pronouns are she/her, and vice versa. (There are no nonbinary pronoun options.) As a trans woman with a voice that many would not describe as “feminine,” this direct linking of gender identity to having a voice that sounds “masculine” or “feminine” feels weirdly essentializing."

Is it just me, or can we simply not?

Non-binary pronouns? What is that?

I think when a dude sounds like a girl but identifies as a turtle.

I'm serious. What does that mean?

[AlisterCat]

You aren't even trying to understand how someone feels who is talking about how they and their peers are being represented.

Can't wait until websites like Polygon and Kotaku inevitably close down due to this kind of garbage. Stop feeding them clicks, it'll happen sooner rather than later.

We can only hope it's sooner rather than later.

Any one that listens and believes polygon / kotaku filth, I got no sympathy for, both trash companies

[KuroVersal]

Just ignore Polygon. Trash sites like that struggle for attention. The less attention they get the sooner they will go bankrupt and they bs reviews will end permanently.

I do care. The problem is that society does not. When people want to look at the absurdly high level of suicide within this community and label it as the mental illness that it is, rather than celebrating it as "progress" and "bravery", these people can FINALLY get the REAL help that they need.

It's someone who doesn't identify as either a male or a female. Someone non-binary usually prefers "they/them" over "he/him" or "she/her."

it means you prefer to go by they/them pronouns (although some people prefer to go by whatever pronouns so i guess it can mean 2 things)

Gender dysphoria is already considered a mental illness. They do get treatment from gender counselors and are often prescribed hormone therapy and eventually undergo transitional surgery.

How does that work exactly? Like they aren't sexually attracted to anyone/are sexually attracted to all?

"They/their/them" is one example of a non-binary pronoun, the most common one. There's other rarer ones, like "ze".
