Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.

Erm, the single-person gender-neutral "They" is widely accepted as being proper grammar. The only other alternative, besides things like "Xir", would be to keep saying "him-or-her" for a character whose gender is unknown, which isn't only stiff and awkward and repetitive, but is also exclusionary against non-binary people.
If the character is referred to by male pronouns, cool. But this isn't the sort of place where going on language-fixing crusades is ever acceptable, and if I must point this out, you've had issues with this sort of thing before,
so making a fuss over something like this seems... questionable.
You were already suspended from reviews for promulgating anti-LGBT views. This apparently did not clue you in. A wiki and a query suspension have been added.
For anyone wondering, if certain pronouns are used in canon, those are most likely the pronouns to use. "They" is perfectly fine whether in cases of unknown pronouns or preferred, and an effort to wage some kind of non-binary pronoun eradication is unwelcome.
Edited by nombretomadoSo looking at the character page it seems like One-One is a robot made up of two separate robots with two distinct personalities.
So "they" is used because entries are referring to two entities.
Though it sounds weird that you're randomly using that to go into a non-binary declaration.

Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallSo if there was a question as to whether this guy is agenda based editing...
Kinda convenient he keeps reporting himself for being homophobic and transphobic.
Can we get a mod revert?
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.Entirely possible he might have been Right for the Wrong Reasons but the edit reasons make it clear these changes were unilaterally made for the sole purpose of furthering an agenda.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.^ Yeah, that's what I was saying in my first post. if the character is referred to as a "He", then cool, but they were going on a language-changing crusade simply out of dislike, which isn't cool.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallAn edit in an of itself may not have an agenda. Changing pronouns to line up with what is confirmed by the creator is not an agenda. Changing pronouns because you believe that non-binary pronouns are indicative of a mental delusion is an agenda. The OP has been exceptionally forthright in which camp they fall under, which is why they were suspended.
Hmm, could've sworn there was something about Maggie. Maybe it was already taken down.
Perhaps I was thinking about the Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling review
? Definitely not as bad as the DuckTales review, but he does deadname a trans character in passing, so I'll it up to the mods for this one.
Also found a review for Cupcake And Dino General Services
. It's bad, and spends way too much time comparing it to other toons without going into the show itself.
Jeez, his review style is terrible. Its just complete bashing with nothing instructional about it.
And to think the guy had the audacity to keep editing because he himself can't keep up with the times. "This is wrong, is fine only in my way" sort of editing.
Edited by Tomodachi To win, you need to adapt, and to adapt, you need to be able to laugh away all the restraints. Everything holding you back.Wait, if One-One is referred to by male pronouns, why was that edit reverted? And I don't see why their reviews of Amphibia and DuckTales have to be removed if they're not homophobic.
Edited by rjd1922 Keet cleanup^ They're not homophobic, no, but they are abysmal "reviews".
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper Wall^^ Because at the time, we weren't sure what One-One's canon pronouns actually were, and "they" was a reasonable assumption, given that he is actually two entities.
If anyone wants to change the pronouns back to he/him (it's not going to be me, since I haven't seen the series yet and am not going to spoil myself by looking at its pages), then that is fine. Either this thread or the tweets I linked above (or some other Word of God source) should be cited in the edit reason.

I noticed in the trope pages for "Infinity Train" that One-One was consistently referred to with they/them pronouns.
I am a firm believer that they/them pronouns are only grammatically correct when you are referring to two or more people or a person whose gender you do not know. In other words, the only pronouns to use to refer to someone whose gender is known is he/him or she/her.
I took the liberty of changing One-One's pronouns to be masculine, since he is referred to with "he/him" pronouns in the series proper and is voiced by a man.
I would like if somebody checked the "Infinity Train" trope pages regularly to make sure that One-One is being referred to with his proper pronouns. I already took care of it, but there's always the possibility that he will be referred to with "they" pronouns again.
