Question 1

1. It’s just an object, why do you care so much? Is this really necessary?

Accepted Answer

Misgendering (unless it’s by accident) is an inherently offensive thing to do to a transgender or non-binary person. It’s the equivalent of calling someone a slur. If you were to let’s say call a fictional character a slur, everyone would be mad. While it doesn’t affect the character since they aren’t real, using slurs is still an inherently offensive thing to do, just as misgendering either a real life person or a fictional character is also offensive.

Question 2

Question 1 Continuation

Accepted Answer

If you’re fine with gendering a male or female character correctly when corrected, but won’t do the same for a non-binary character, then it means you aren’t treating non binary individuals with the same respect as a cis person. For example, Leafy from BFDI is often mistaken for a male due to her masculine voice. If someone were to correct someone who referred to Leafy as a male and tell them “no she’s actually a girl” people would just gender her correctly and move on, so logically you should do the same for a they/them character.

Question 3

2. Why is the movement only about PDA and not other they/them characters?

Accepted Answer

There are other movements dedicated to correcting a single character’s pronouns on other sites, not just this one. While that’s completely valid if you want there to be a movement for other character’s pronouns, this is specifically about PDA and it doesn’t have to be about every character.

Question 4

3. Can we post about other Non-Binary object show characters who are constantly misgendered on r/PDAprnns?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you are allowed to do that but only as long as it includes PDA because that is what r/PDAprnns is for. PDA also happens to be more misgendered than other non-binary they/them characters. If you want movements for correcting the gender of other characters, why not maybe make them yourself?

Question 5

4. Isn't PDA's gender unconfirmed?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but in their short they were only ever referred to as a they/them so it's the safe assumption that they are non-binary.

Question 6

5. Why choose a non main character out of all OSC characters?

Accepted Answer

Because I can, simple as that. Some people enjoy other characters that don't get much screen time and that's fine.
