What's the deal latelly with subs using "they" instead of "it"?

Pic related (And also weird since canonically Boogiepop is a guy).

Why the recent resurgence of XIX century english?

Nice subs there, buddy.

It is for things and animals, they is for human beans.

Try calling people it irl

I don't know what you're talking about, but "they" is for plural animate objects, while "it" is for singular inanimates. Mixing them up means being illiterate in two ways.

Actually they didn't start referring to Boogiepop as 'they' until later into the show. Before that they uses 'he'. It was after the doctor episode where she asks Boogie whether he was a man or a woman and he said it's not important.

>it
Who the fuck calls people "it"? Do you say "If someone came by, it would be surprised"? No, you say "if someone came by, they would be surprised."

"They" has been used for ungendered for quite a while. There's no official ruling, but "it" is definitely rude.

i have never used 'it' in a non rude/non teasing way when describing someone
