And She-ra
Find someone to look at you the way Fisto looks at He-man.
Ribbed for his pleasure.
How young do you think boomers are?
Apparently a boomer is anyone 30 and over
I mean as much as millennials would hate to hear it they will soon be the largest demographic (if they are not all ready) .
Time will tell if they succumb to the same tropes their parents did it is they get a new fun set of undesirable qualities.
Even population count makes people ignore GenX 🤣
Please don’t let them get me closer to that generation
Some Conservative: “It’s He-Man, not They-Person”
Fuck it, any thembies want to make the They-person animated show just to make conservatives cry?
Even More HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA
I don’t often remember tunes but this one played in my head when I saw the image.
Dun dadundun dadadadun HEMAN
favorite part is the party that says we didn’t have pronouns back in the day is marked as “them”
Ah yes, basic linguistic concepts clearly didn’t exist back then. xD
And? Adam of Eternia/He-man is awesome. Don’t knock it until you’ve seen what a bad ass Cringer turns into.
Having seen the entire run of the 80s show somewhat recently, Adam is at best a bad friend to Cringer and at worst downright abusive.
Like, Cringer has sapience. Full stop. He can talk and everything. Generally he just wants to stay home when Skeletor is up to something. Then Adam rolls by and transforms into He-man and then strips Cringers abnormal intelligence away, turning him into nothing more than a growling beast named Battle Cat that he can ride.
That’s Prince Adam
To be fair, I learned to be pronoun-versatile in theater and TTRPGs.

What’s your beef with He-Man?
I have zero objections to the top row, though they/them is kinda weird. Try reading a book where a character is referred to as they/them, bit confusing.
Trans people? I call them as they wish, not wanting to upset anyone over petty bullshit, but no way I’m calling anyone “fae”. Hir can go fuck themselves. That’s the kinda crap people are objecting to. It’s fucking stupid and will be dropped in a few years. Seen many such “correct” notions come and go.
For context, that screenshot is a common question on job applications.
Has anyone ever asked you to call them a neopronoun? Like I’ve been in some queer as fuck spaces and I’ve never encountered someone with neopronouns. I don’t most people have. So it seems the anger is more at an entirely imagined scenario where someone might ask you to call them (oh wow, so confusing) a neopronoun?
It’s just so fucking weird, to be upset at a scenario where someone might ask you to refer to them in a way that you personally think is silly. It has literally zero impact on your life. It gives weird control freak vibes - that other people need to live their lives in a way that makes you comfortable.
One of my friends from high school was a ze for a while, while actively transitioning, and sort of going in and out of fem/ masc presentations, and dressing. Once she got her breasts done she was just a she though.
They were very unbiased by pronouns and even dead- naming though. Like if you asked, they’d say they were a ze, but really didnt care if anyone still called them he or even she, and werent going to correct someone even if they used the old masculine name. There was also an aspect of the original name being pretty unique, whereas the new one was a more generic one, so it was often a matter of
“oh, you know sarah…” “Sarah?” “you know, used to be Gerrard…” “oh, that Sarah! Oh course I know her!”
I’m not mad, just saying that other people think much of this is silly at best. You just have to frame me as angry to have any sort of rebuttal.
And no, not a soul has asked me to call them any pronoun. I go with what seems to make sense and would be happy to be corrected. But I would still refuse the bullshit pronouns in the pic I posted.
How would you say “ey/em” can go fuck themselves?
“I’m not angry” “[entirely made up person I’ve never encountered] can go fuck themselves”
Usually, when I say someone can go fuck themselves, they’re being actively shitty. You’re just mad at someone asking you to use certain words describe them. If that pisses you off, you must have a really short temper.
Also, the “control” aspect remains. You want to decide what people be called. That’s just weird - how does it matter to you? Maybe consider DBT therapy, that’s all about dealing with how the world doesn’t have to be your way all of the time.
Has anyone ever asked you to call them a neopronoun?
Yes. Are you erasing these people?
There are two replies to the parent comment.
One saying that neo pronouns barely exist, and they’re imagining a person who would be angry at it.
The other comment is basically asking for a fight with their Xe preferred pronoun friend.
I just thought the contrast and dichotomy of that was noteworthy.
Has anyone ever asked you to call them a neopronoun? Like
There was a person on Lemmy for a while who insisted on “dragon rider” as a pronoun
Hey, non-binary person in one of the most trans places on the planet. I have in the past 8 years of Pride events and non-binary meetups met only about three people who ever attempted to use a neo-pronoun and only one memorable person who wanted to be called “puppy”. They were like 16 and by the time they were 20 they’d cringe at their past behaviour.
Some people are weird. Particularly when they are on the internet. They are usually young and most of them would make it through maybe an irl day being called “dragon rider” before the effort it takes to keep that up would wear them down.
Sent this to a friend. Xe laughed and said, “If they have an issue with it, they can come find me and tell me. Good luck, BTW, we make up less than 1% of the population. If people that rare are pissing you off, find a fucking hobby.”
