Administrators Amethyst Posted November 2, 2013 Administrators Share Posted November 2, 2013 Reborn's debut Fairy Leader has been revealed! After a long and gruesome hangman game in which a poor random user was banned, the 18th Leader's name has been unlocked~ Although our 18th leader won't be joining the line-up until the league re-opens after we get our Duckletts in a row, we can find out now about...Adrienn~However, Adrienn is going to require a bit more introduction than our other leaders. Why, you ask? It's a matter of identity and respect. As a matter of respect, I will be expecting that (although it may be difficult to adjust to at first) everyone in our community adheres to Adrienn's pronouns.Pronouns? you shout indignantly, Goodness gracious, Ame, I come here to play not to deal with this doof-doof English-crap! What in the seven hells is a pronoun?!Don't worry, I'll explain! A pronoun is a part of speech that substitutes for a person. We use them all the time! The most common ones are "he, him" or "his" for males, or "she, her" or "hers" for females. But did you know that there are other pronouns too?Just like Pokemon can be male, female, or have no gender, the same is true for people! Sadly, many people don't know this because it is not a very popular thing to identify as a non-gender-binary individual. However, Adrienn is one such person who chooses to identify as neither male, nor female. In otherwords, xe is genderless, or agender.We ask that as a matter of our community rule of respect, everyone please respect Adrienn's gender-identity. Xe is neither a boy, nor a girl, and as such, xe does not need to be referred to as either. For pronouns, as you will see me using presently, Adrienn asks that people please refer to xem using the 'Xe' set of pronouns. As such, instead of saying 'he, him,' or 'his', one says 'xe, xem' or 'xyr'. As Adrienn has said, "it's awkward if you're not used to it- but you'll get used to it."Adrienn will be available for battle as soon as the league restarts, but you'll meet xem even before that in an upcoming episode of Pokemon Reborn! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Radiant Aeon Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I have to learn more pronouns? I failed a test on that in 3rd grade..QQ But "xe" looks sweet. Though I thought it to be more..pinkish in the hair. But I was on the money with the clothes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanco Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Err...I might just use "they". I'm not going to remember the new pronoun in my vocab...and it's probably the socially correct thing anyway. So I apologize to her - or, them - I mean, xem - in advance. In any case, I'll look forward to my battles with Adrienn and hope this isn't the next Sigmund in terms of annoyance. But I guess I can add some words to my English vocab if it pleases xem. After it all, it is some love for an underappreciated letter of the english alphabet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Color Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I never knew there were pronouns like "xe" "xem", that's pretty interesting if I do say so myself ^^ I can't wait to meet "xem" (Correct me if I am using the pronoun wrong XD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Code: PIRULUK Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 How is that pronounced? "She", but the "sh" is pronounced as sort of a blend between "sh" and "j". It's easier if you have a background in Oriental languages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
