The state of this industry

if you think people are overreacting just play this game and you'll see how shoving gender bullshit into a game will ruin it

>We fired him for a bullshit reason, lets come up with another bullshit reason so he can stay fired

Why would I ever play Borderlands?

Good fuck his entitled ass.

It wasn't just that, they tried to say he created "sexual models of underaged characters" then used an edited nude model of shantae he didn't make to prove that point.

>whatever gender neutral pronoun english uses
That would be a gender-neutral "he" though

memes aside how is anyone supposed to market their indie games nowadays?
I only ever play indies when they get as much attention as any other triple A, but that's not my fault really

through word of mouth like its always been

>how dare other people try to sell their games me me me I'm the only one that matters

Just get people talking. Ideally this would mean the game is impressive enough to speak for itself, but that's harder to do so you get Jewish Tricksters instead.

This is the actual zoomer mentality live in action.

Leftists are fucked in the head what a surprise

This is what happens when you put liberal special snowflake parenting in action.

>went to look at the game on Steam
>it's a Limbo rip-off
>with only 9 reviews
Good to know he got rekt.

No, the motherfucker thinks Steam should shill his game for free.

Every sucessfull indie game invested on good marketing, be it with money, or making their famous youtube friends play it to the point they got lucky and it became some sort of youtube trend.

It's "they".
Always been.

go back to pol, get saged

You market it the same way everything else gets marketed.

What you don't do is just dump it on Steam and demand that Valve somehow makes sure your game gets more attention than the rest of the indie trash.

"Hurr why companies spend on marketing"
>Spend nothing on marketing your product
>No one knows or gives a shit about it

Fuck off
Male or Female
If whatever you're talking about is genderless (like a fucking object) its an it

>Always been.
If you were born after 2012 maybe

>Can literally check twitter to see it's not fake

This is true but for some reason people refuse to accept it.

It's always been "they" if you don't know the gender of something.

That's retarded. I don't know about greasespeak but in my native tongue the default pronoun is male and the only time it changes is to address the female gender.

>amateur retards who've never released anything
>industry
Pick one.

"They" should ONLY ever be used when referring to multiple people you fucking tranny. If you want to be referred to as they you better be a mother fucking hydra or chimera.

I played and I kinda just turned my brain off the whole time, but what's wrong with pre-sequel?

This

No. Its "it".
There are only two genders. Pick one and stop injecting shit into yourself and thinking you're a magical fairy.

Why are you talking about trannies?

Stop missing the point. "They" can be used when you don't know the gender of whatever person you're referring to. Has nothing to do with tranny freaks.

They is not a singular you retard. You don't know English.

Well to be honest, most trannies seems to have multiple personalities conflicting in their heads.

"Thing". As "this thing", "that thing".

>something from the gender nonbinary person is trowed around
It belongs to the thing.
>the gender nonbinary person is enterring the room
The thing is arriving.
>the gender nonbinary person is complaining that I'm disrespectful towards her because I refuse to use the pokemon names the thing chose to call itself
I'm not here to make the thing happy. If the thing wants to be happy, the thing should engage only with the thing's friends.

I'm doing alright by just doing this at my job and college. Of course, I'm the kind of person that pierces notes from the campus director in front of him without reading and threat to lawsuit him if he sends me another, so I don't know if that tactic would work if followed by anyone.

They're (multiple people) the only people stupid enough to try and warp the meaning of existing words just so they can think they're special. The only thing about the deranged fuckers is how much time and effort is wasted on trying to appease someone who will always want more because they're entitled assholes.

if your second name is Goins you already failed in life

actually historically "they" was never used as a singular pronoun. that is a more modern adaptation.

>there was no NDA
wow, that's sounds like absolutely zero competence team

twitting assets and situations from the game. People love interesting animations and cool pixel explosions. If it's a story game the hook has to be something that would make people interested. It sucks to waste your time and get nothing, sure, but you don't have to make the full game before starting to market it and realizing that it's serviceable but not something to pull people out of where their attention usually inhabits. With non-giant games it full on "purple cow" strategy.

No fuck off we aren't changing the definition of a word because you want it to fit your agenda.

>I'm not here to make the thing happy.

Why did VIDEO GAMES have to be so thoroughly infected by this lgbt insanity?
Why not golf or something else.

Why don't you ask a friend if they could help you think more clearly?

Please read this. Has nothing to do with "agendas", it's just how it is.

What kind of notes?

I thought english people referred to animals as "it" if you didn't know if they were male or female. In any case, the singular they (used in the same way as the singular you) is a good fix, although a relatively recent one.

>dumb zoomer phoneposter citing wikipedia as a fucking source

en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/they

Would you say this user's sentence is wrong then?

watch your step lady

If you are referring to someone specific, yes. If you are asking me to ask more than one friend, or an undefined amount of people that are considered friends to me, no.

The problem with "It" is that it denotes something strange or unique. Something so not normal that you don't have a proper way of addressing it. Which makes them feel like monsters so its a no no.

I hear people refer to their dogs as he or she, and while I think that's retarded, it's not hard to understand why they would refer to an animal who they attribute with human characteristics the same as they would refer to a human.

What the fuck is wrong with using he or she on male and female animals?

He's referring to a single non-specific friend and it's correct that way.

I don't know, I didn't read. Something regarding one of the things being mad about the thing's pokemon names. I just said that the college should communicate stuff trough the official means, so it would pass trough my lawyer like anything else. I was lying

>inb4: hurr ur unpolite shitty person
Imagine someone studying law but being unable to show his middle finger to authority. Someone like that being a lawyer in the future is like a person who can't win a fight becoming a bodyguard.

that was altered recently. check the archive.

last year they changed the definitions of gender to the neo-marxist, john money definition. and a few years before that altered it to slowly chip away at it. it's been compromised by ideologues in US academia for a while.

I automatically refer to all animals as "he" unless told otherwise, most people I know do this. Calling something "it" makes it sound like you're talking about a plant or inanimate object.

>deleted
It was not even nsfw ffs, I'll start posting twitter screencaps since those are apparently a-ok.

Did you you just assume RafaKnight's gender? Reported, get your ass banned.

If it's only one it's wrong. Do they not teach grammar and English anymore?

fucking NIGGERS, man

Yeah, sure, which is why it's theoretically used in unknown animals. I wouldn't use it on a person, that's just weird.

Why do you think using gendered language on an animal you know is male/female is stupid?

>neo-marxist
Way to out yourself there senpai

not sure if trolling or not, but referring to trans as "things" sounds incredibly condescending and I love it. Will start using that from now on.

He's referring to a person, singular, that he doesn't know the identity of and they is the correct word to use in that context. You're too deep in the soup user you need to take a step back.
Or you're a pajeet. Indians get really fucking defensive if you call them out on not knowing proper English.

It's historically used since 14th century, user. Stop time traveling.

If you want to be identified as a creature that is neither Male nor Female you deserve to be labeled as one.

It.

he for pets because it's personal, it if it's a wild animal.

>inb4: hurr ur unpolite shitty person
I don't know why anyone would say that. No one wants to put up with trannies' shenanigans. What you did was smarter than I would've done, I'd probably start an argument about who does this director thinks he is for trying to regulate my speech. At least you're calm.

I do, too, but because there's no neutral in spanish outside of the second person, so the default is pe. el perro, el gato. There are some animals that are default female, like, la llama.

They or as i like to call them "Pumpkins", are the backbone of this game. Pumpkins make up most their attacks and can absorb huge amounts of damage so their damage potential is greater than all other types of attacks combined. Their unique skill with a spike attack is quite amazing although its not a very powerful ability.

"He" for dogs because even bitches are good boys.

"They" has always been acceptable to refer to a person. Of course this message isnt for you. Its for the people who are gullible enough to fall for your bullshit

hey man it's just my opinion, I don't own pets so I've never felt the urge to call an animal he or she
but yeah it just sounds stupid to me

>Work in the hospitality industry
>Every youtube video that is almost always misinterpreted as some kind of ist causes HR to freak the fuck out

I work night shift so I never get to go to those employee rally things and this for whatever reason made my HR rep zero in on me hard. She got the idea that I was sexist as fuck and started spamming me with mandatory meetings in the middle of the fucking day to "go over troubling trends." It got so bad I just lied through my teeth and told her that I was MtF and a lesbian and that her zeroing in on me was making me feel unsafe. The look on her face was fucking priceless. She quickly ended the meeting and I've never had one since. I also noticed all my PTO requests are auto approved which is a nice bonus

No need to be rude on purpose.

Is there an study/article/paper on this?

Go fuck yourself. I take great pride in being able to properly use the English language without butchering it for my own convenience. The recent societal degradation of language and general laziness is why we have people like in Op's picture fired for no goddamn reason.

>la llama

Have you even read the page?
It clearly describes the use of "they" as a pronoun when you're not talking about a specific person.
The use of they as a pronoun is used to describe people as a group when discussing specific things, not for a certain individual just because they dislike how the english language works.

I was genuinely asking, no animosity.

I refer to literally everything as he of it's alive and the gender isn't specified or immediately obvious. I've had people get upset at me for it before and I'm not going to stop doing it.

Yeah. It's very weird to say "el llama".

serious answer. the gender neutral pronoun that the retards use is "they/them"

Lets settle this once and for all.
VAGINA = HER
PENIS = HE
BOTH? IT
NONE? IT

Languages with gendered 'the's are fucked

He wasn't fired for the reason you're pissed off about though. He thought he was, but he wasn't. In fact he's not even fired.

Gender pronouns aren't just about sexual orientation, they're also about gender identity, according to a panel discussion on sexism at a recent event at the University of Washington. Gender-neutral pronouns are used to describe women as being exclusively female by male pronouns, and men as being exclusively male by female pronouns. The debate over the use of gender pronouns has raged ever since the 1970s when the International Association for the Study of Women was trying to create a gender-neutral acronym for how to identify men and women. In 1976, the organization included men on "s/w" pronouns while women on "she." In 2010, the International Association for the Study of Women also included women in the "she" box, but this didn't include any women on "she."

they literally apply theories to modern social dynamics. they out right explain this in their university lectures and marxism conferences.
next you'll tell me neo-nazis don't exist either.

fuck gender warriors appropriating words for their convenience.

>The Oxford English Dictionary traces singular they back to 1375, where it appears in the medieval romance William and the Werewolf. Except for the old-style language of that poem, its use of singular they to refer to an unnamed person seems very modern. Here’s the Middle English version: ‘Hastely hiȝed eche . . . þei neyȝþed so neiȝh . . . þere william & his worþi lef were liand i-fere.’ In modern English, that’s: ‘Each man hurried . . . till they drew near . . . where William and his darling were lying together.’

Wikipedia also cites two dictionaries.

??? = They

So they were right? You sound like a real shithead

Let's suppose you're waiting for a person. You don't know the persons name or gender. You tell a friend you're going to meet this mystery person. Do you tell your friend, "It's waiting for me"?

No.

Yes.

The new ones are the abominations like Xir, Hir, Zir etc.

Yes, it strikes up a conversation.

All animals are automatically boys until proven otherwise.

Singular "They" has been in use for centuries
