Set pronouns on GBAtemp profile

[SylverReZ]

Nobody knows what kind of pronouns you have, whether you are female, male, non-binary, etc., and most people tend to call you whatever your gender is on your profile.

It would be nice if there was an option to display your preferred pronouns.

pls no political debates

But... Everyone has pronouns, even you.

the problem with pronouns is that in several languages (including English) they're completely fucking useless in direct conversation, and rarely ever you have a situation where you talk about person X to someone else in such frequency you need a pronoun instead of their nickname - the whole debacle makes no sense and exists only to piss off people + to make trans people look like special need children

you have a point but did you have to be transphobic *and* ableist in the same damned sentence?

Besides. Not everyone wants to be anon.
If this was an all-anon site, it'd be 4chan, not gbatemp.

That just another extreme. And cancer. Let's be moderate, it's a decent place in between.

But pronouns are used when you're talking to another person about someone, usually the person in question isn't even there so what's the point in having a preferred pronoun.
Also I don't care about it, so what does it matter that I have the usual ones?
Nowadays people are too concerned about what others do instead of just doing their thing

I can bet those pronouns are really used when the people that adopt them aren't really there.
I'd think the name is a better identifier than a pronoun.

Aren't "you" me" and "i" also pronouns?

stop trying to change the topic, it's obvious we are all talking about 3rd-person pronouns specifically

 

[kidcharlemagne]

I'm all for letting people choose pronouns/gender as long as I can choose not to list any.

You can probably just use a “Custom title” for now. That will display just under your username.

Oh, yes. Let's do that.

My 2cents: If I want to talk about how dumb or overly sensitive @Flame is, I'll just tag them. If gender is just a social construct, people stop taking it so seriously instead of doubling down. If people want to play with each other, they will. If they don't, they won't. We've all seen the "invitation". At the end of the day, it's just text on the wall, and the stuff that matters should be self-representing. If you come to to the internet to feel a sense of validation, you are going to be scammed.

Good. People will refer to me as God or King.

You gonna pay over $1000 a year for the attempt, ma'am.

it might be worth it to some people if admin promises bans for those who offend the paying customers.
