Administrators Amethyst Posted November 2, 2013 Administrators 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

Sapphire Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Let it be known that I am 50% responsible for saving everyone from getting Banned.
The Radiant Aeon Posted November 2, 2013 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
Joker Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Can I call substitute the pronouns he, his, him, her, she, and hers, for Swag, Swag, and Swag? Looking forward to seeing swag in action. jk can do Adrienn and Ame. 3
Fiammazure Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 After a long and gruesome hangman game in which a poor random user was banned, R.I.P Random User.
Shanco Posted November 2, 2013 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
Cowtao Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 C'mon guys. Hideyoshi. We all saw this name coming. 5
Nyrias Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 If you all saw this name coming, why did it take them 3 and a half hours to figure out their name in hangman.. 1
Godot Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 It took the that long cause I wasn't there ;P 1
Fezzdog Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 All praise be to groudonKING, he died to save us from our sins
Code: PIRULUK Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 If you all saw this name coming, why did it take them 3 and a half hours to figure out their name in hangman.. I blame certain individuals.
Maelstrom Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 I blame the peculiar spelling of Adrian/Adrianne more than anyone who was there. I was not present Xe, pronounced "shi/she" or "ze"?
Ringabel Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Name it's badgethe "Daft Arse Badge" cuz Donnel.
Brockze Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 All this time and no-one made a rocky joke so sad also RIP groudonKING
Sapphire Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 If you all saw this name coming, why did it take them 3 and a half hours to figure out their name in hangman.. Because they stopped me from winning tournaments, 1
Color Posted November 2, 2013 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)
KillJoy3579 Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 "xe" is pronounced /dʐiː/, I think. How is that pronounced? 1
Code: PIRULUK Posted November 3, 2013 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.
