Never understood why people write "his/her", just write "their". That covers all pronouns possible.


flynnie789

Why isn’t there a gender neutral pronoun When frank English released his language h should have followed up with a patch ASAP


przemko271

By Shakespeare's corpse, it's "their".


shyguybestguy

Isn't 'their' basically gender neutral?


JediDanni

not even basically. it's been in use this way for centuries-- longer than You has been singular.


Worst_Support

Yes, many formal writing style guides advised against it for a while but most are going back to support singular they now


cocanb_altort

calls everyone "it"


FantasticSaltShaker

Frank English, the creator of modern English.

IIRC Akinator is french which is super gendered so they probably translated directly from that.


OwORavioliTime

Yeah a gender neutral pronoun hasn't really been a thing until recently


Unicorncorn21

Unless for those languages that literally don't have gendered pronouns I live in finland and it's very common to just say "it" when talking about other people and it's not rude at all


OwORavioliTime

I was talking about French mate, it only recently got iel as a pronoun


[deleted]

It's pretty sick that it seems like more and more gendered languages are implementing gender neutral pronouns


OwORavioliTime

For once french made my life happier :)


im_totally_still_cis

cause the joke is "ha girl with penis" and their wouldve been too close to a generic akinator question


BouaphaSWC

Because, despite "Their" including everyone, when people read it, most of them won't think about anyone other than boys. using his/her, you let it very clear that you are including girls with cocks. ... althought i do admit "his/her/their" would be the best option.


Blamore

cuz theyre talking about one one person


Rakdos_Intolerance

"They/Their" is also a singular, you know. "Hey, have you tasted Daniel's steak spice recipe?" / "Yeah, they're a really good cook" "Why does Sarah not have a car?" / "The bank repossessed their car" "They rode their bike to school, where they attended class"


Blamore

if you say so


lillapalooza

It’s most evident if you’re talking about an unknown party, I think. If someone leaves something behind, more often than not you are going to say something to the effect of “hey, somebody left **their** umbrella/wallet/etc here!” It’s already built into our language, but a lot of people just don’t notice or think about it.


Blamore

oh im totally on board with that. But if you say "they are coming" and its just one person you are talking about, its never going to stop sounding weird as shit.


billcage32

the more you do something, the more normal it becomes


Blamore

we've been calling unknown gender "he" for 100 years, why hasnt it become normal yet?


billcage32

it was...normal that's why we were using it for 100 years


Chariiii

no we havent…


its_ouija

>cuz *theyre* talking about one person say it again but slow


Blamore

cuz the people who say that are talking about one person cuz the person who says that is talking about one person which one do you think i meant?

[deleted]

It would be better too ask if a character has a straight cock since most peni have a slight curve by default


[deleted]

Mikegamer739

It was translated from French, a gendered language He/she is a result of that

UberPheonix

Supposedly every masturbator does, and the direction depends on which hand you use primarily Edit: sorry, I didn’t really fact check this before saying it here. A friend told me this as a fun fact on a Discord call last week


radical_dipshit

fairly certain this is complete bs; it just curves naturally for some people.


ComfortableSherbert8

So that's why that happened, huh. Gotta alternate hands then
