@.B because in order to have any kind of constructive conversation, you need to work from a common vocabulary. And its much easier to destroy a persons argument if you use their vocabulary against them rather than try and get them to use your own.

Probably the most annoying thing is that in a lot of cases, they're not even fans of or consumers of the thing they are trying to change.
Like I think it's safe to say the vast majority of the people crying for Nintendo to change "Link" from the Legend of Zelda series into a girl, because... reasons....
...would not have even bought the game, or cared about how it would have affected the story.

@Grenade123 I agree, isn't that what we just did? =p

you are the one who asked why i was going along with it

@JadenFrostwolf I've heard a lot of people saying Zelda should be genderbent into a girl 😏

ive been reading

<:yey:414288771824091137>

coz all video games have males in the titles

rightttttt?

Zelda is already a girl....?

you mean Link?

That's the joke.

that's the point, they thought Link was Zelda. They didn't even know the franchise 😂

People that know nothing of the game often call the character you play Zelda, since the game is called Zelda.

name an SJW that demands a franchise be changed that actually likes the franchise.

"I've always been a gamer" *rewind less than 10 years* "I'm not a gamer and have never played games"

one redefinition of a word that "triggers" me is the word "gamer"

you play sudoku or candy crush? YOU'R A GAMER

I thought gamers were dead. <:Kappa:327142715592540171>

western games are kinda dead 🤔

fuck, find me the gamer player sudoku, they are probably not too dumb.

so to reiterate my thoughts, sex defines biological differences of a species that store the method of reproducing a new lifeform of their species into 2 or more entities. this covers everything that empericly we can catagorize about them which are internally consistant. this means most physical traits and some psychological traits. gender has NO reason to define this, as theres no reason to have 2 words that mean the same thing. if you were to give gender a different definition scientificly, in my opinion it would need to define the social and psychological differences between individuals of different sexs

I kinda told you why "gender" was used

because in most languages "sex" is also a verb of the act

thats a weak arguement

in most languages the same word means different things

so to avoid confusion, "gender" was another way of refering to it that was clear to understand what you're asking

so gender so as to not pull an austin powers? *filling out form* "Sex? Yes please."

yes, I believe that is the main reason

not to mention sex is only an english word, in other languages the act of having sex is a different word

in my native language the same happens

in spanish too

in french too

gender: "late Middle English: from Old French gendre (modern genre ), based on Latin genus ‘birth, family, nation.’ The earliest meanings were ‘kind, sort, genus’ and ‘type or class of noun, etc."

I could do some research on it tbh

i dont think the chinese call the act of reproduction sex

consitering they have no latin roots

we are talking about the west
