Java pronouns

[KenuaFB]

This is about pronouns, its kinda a ''Karen'' suggestion imma do. Why isnt it so that you can give your pronouns at the start when you join cubecraft. that you can choose all forms. bc i dont see why death messages say 'they' and i know its more respectfull to call a possible him/he they at first but i dont feel like that. i think thats the same as calling a she a he. thats my personal opinion but i dont think you have to force genders to people in a mc servers. but if you do, do it right - Kenua 2022 (kinda lame quoting myself but ok) but forcing a pronouns that people dont identify as, is not ethical. DISCLAIMER: opinions

well "they" is gender neutral. Making it so you can select any gender when you join the server could lead to a lot of troll pronouns and would make chat pretty messy imo. At the moment it's completely neutral and fits everyone which imo is a incredibly good thing. I think this being implemented would create more harm than is worth as its already correct and has everyone included as a neutral word not assuming gender

I know what you mean and understand it. but when you say troll pronouns i dont really understand it. bc i described a panel of like he they them him she her hers etc. so you dont get like 'Bin' and yes 'They' is genderneutral but if you force gender on a mc server WHY ON EARTH would you force people to have a pronouns that they dont feel like. Im a he and i find it weird that im a they bc cubecraft says so

Saying ’they’ isn’t always directed to a gender. It can just overall be talking about someone or multiple people, which doesn’t require you to put any title on the person.

Even if I understand why you would like to see this, I really don’t think it is useful. As it doesn’t actually change much and it would take a lot of work to do something most people wouldn’t even notice or pay attention to.

I know what you mean but i tottally disagree, even if its a small thing. it stands for not having a own pronouns. im not comfy by being called a 'they' im a proud he/him. but cubecraft sees everyone the same? cubecraft sure calls everybody a 'they'

I think You’re misunderstanding this. No one is saying that you are a they/them or that you have to identify as that. It is literally just a more simple solution and doesn’t need to be related to genders at all.

I am a female, I have always used she/her but I couldn’t really care less about such a thing in the kill messages. Since they are not saying that I must be something that I am not.
And if other people don’t think this is a good idea and don’t support it, they are not bothered by this either. And then there’s no point in changing this.

for me its different, and i think forcing pronouns on people is not good. we agree to disagree. but i think that the forum has already chosen to disagree, and i guess cubecraft doesnt want to have a #gendersystem

i know it isnt twitter but im just gonna use a #

this sounds like a thing that would waste dev time. dont get me wrong, but i feel like youre making an issue of something that is, well, not an issue.

they/them is a gender neutral pronoun which doesnt say anything about you as an individual. thats like telling people they should call you homo sapiens instead of just human :p

They isn't just one type of pronoun to use, it's also used if you don't know the gender of the person you are talking about. This feature would be kinda cool but not really necessary.
