The message is in the right place, but the whole "don't assume gender" and "introduce yourself with your gender pronouns" shit is never going to catch on. If someone has alternative pronouns, they can explain it and everyone else should hopefully be polite enough to use them. That's about as far as we need to go in polite society.
Yeah, that way nobody is getting offended, and there's not too much awkwardness involved overall.

When people tell you who they are, believe them.

The likelihood you'll meet someone who uses ze/zir is pretty small.

It says so much when the attitude of "I will say 'fuck you' to your face if you give me information that goes outside my understanding of the world" is the first thing people think of.

I mean you, because this is embarrassing

He's right though. Cartoon PSAs in this style from the 80s & early 90s sucked and that's why they're rightfully mocked today - we really don't need them back now. At this rate kid's cartoons are basically becoming this:

Has anyone actually met someone who asked for ze/zir or xe/xir or whatever pronouns? They've gotta be extremely rare.

I've seen it on tumblr but definitely never met a person who asked for it.

Those of you saying "I'll never talk to somebody who tells me what pronouns they want"

one day you probably will encounter somebody who prefers to be addressed as pronouns you don't see them as. There's somebody at my workplace who is trans and whose name tag has a male name + "he/him" on it. A nice person and very friendly

When you meet somebody like that, standing right in front of you and talking with you, I hope you would reevaluate how minor and easy it is to just grant them that kindness. The same way you would probably be willing to grant an adopted person the kindness of acknowledging their adoptive family as true family.

And it managed to do so without browbeating patronizing PSA's that assume our average viewers are braindead cattle.

The only instance of this I've seen in this topic is people refusing to use ze/zir. And so far, no one has actually explained what it even means.

To me it says a lot when He/Him or She/Her or They/Them still doesn't cut it for you? According to google "ze/zir" is a gender neutral way of referring to someone where you don't know and don't want to assume....and They/Them? Doesn't cut it? Nonsense. I have no problem accepting anyone but I'm not gonna feed into lunacy that begs the question if they're just seeking attention, or just fighting all the wrong battles. Sorry if that offends anyone with a weak spirit but there is a line in the sand here where this is no longer about tolerance.

Is it or is it just some CN interns?

Anyway, I feel the need to let y'all know Steven Universe isn't nearly as preachy as these PSAs. It doesn't even talk about these things at all and its progressive themes are actually subtle and not intrusive. >_>

I like courage the cowardly dog too and it does have a few episodes that are pretty poignant and kind-hearted

but if you think it has anywhere near the social impact of steven universe you're just pretending. SU chartered a lot of the progress that the cartoon landscape has made as far as inclusiveness goes. Tons of kids like the show and I'm sure a lot of them who see these clips/comics are going to genuinely consider them because they like the show so much.

Regardless of whether you personally find it too heavy-handed or you don't like what they're saying
