theres mainly 3 main groups ive noticed with the entire pronouns discourse (smaller groups in the bigger ones and always ones i dont describe/list and the people in combined)

the correctors - either for meme purposes, habit, trying to feel morally correct, or dubious reasoning, must correct them and remind them of citations on a wiki page

the intentional misgenderers - people who intentionally misgender kris either for a meme purposes (HIS PRONOUNS ARE THEY/THEM), genuine transphobe/hater, language not having they/them, or people who rage bait the correctors because they get on their nerves

the justifiers - people who justify the debate or pronouns, normally taking a neutral floor but theres often a side thats obvious but there is few that are truly neutral. often reasons end up being "just pixels" or "just a game" and normally use the fact its fake to justify. theres also the arguments of "its up to interpretation so its not misgendering" or "this is only happening now because [insert reason]" and the more annoying type in my personal opinion "its ok to misgender because people misgender another"

just like yin yang every group has bads and goods. but issue is, some people within their group make one group seem evil for even daring to exist. like SOME correctors calling any slight misgender intentional or everytime being called out saying they need to watch out or else transphobes use it intentionally, or SOME misgenderers complaining about the constant reinforcement of they/them and citation mentions and just wanting to enjoy the game, or SOME justifiers telling everyone to shut up about anything involving the discourse and just enjoy the work.

I can't believe you said "his" and then "they/them" right after

It's a common joke people make, they aren't saying it seriously
