I Appreciate Nintendo Trying To Be More Gender-inclusive Lately With Gender-neutral Pronouns For Their

I appreciate Nintendo trying to be more gender-inclusive lately with gender-neutral pronouns for their customizable protagonists, but for the new Tomodachi Life game (I can't believe that is a phrase I just wrote), we NEED a pronoun selecter. As someone who uses they/them primarily, it feels really impersonal when a game automatically decides I'm a they- like it's a way to avoid assigning a pronoun, rather than an actual pronoun in and of itself.

I think the closest Nintendo has ever come to making "they" feel like an intentional, careful choice is when the Rescue Corps from Pikmin 4 discuss the Leaflings. As Captain Shepherd says, "It's impossible to tell who they are with all the leaf coverage. But it doesn't matter who they are- it's our job to rescue them."

It doesn't have to be too complicated: he, she, they, and a "type your own" option.

And while we're at it, please let our Miis be gay. Please Nintendo.
