is Xe an alien

>>262402225
If the game is good, who cares who made it or what they do with it politically?

With that said, I doubt it will be good.

>>262402727
How could it possibly be good? The grammar and spelling is atrocious.

>>262402225
Shitposting on /pol/

>>262402225

What game was that?

>>262402225
Is it really pandering or dangerous if a game about crazy psychic aliens and shit has a character that doesn't identify as a normal gender?

They've had gender ambiguous characters in anime and video games before. This is just going a step further and avoiding the overused "Wait, is that a guy or a girl?" joke.

>>262402225

Is it a good game?

>>262403074
Not megaman made by the team that killed megaman with the zero series

That threw me for a loop when I saw it. I could see the shitposting write itself.

>>262402727
If they can't spell the word "he" properly, it can't have good gameplay. If the red squiggle under "xe" when using spellcheck wasn't enough to get them to fix a simple error, I sincerely doubt they'd spend time making a functional game.

>>262402225
I'm assuming Xe is a name.

Right? Guys?

You can call it whatever you want, but it's a fucking girl.

Yes, the enemy who has a giant fucking crystal dick and labia is SJW pandering. It was probably the same in the Japanese version with newhalf being used somewhere.

That said, the localization is shit anyway for talking out most of the goddamn dialogue.

>>262402446
OMG

>>262402225
It's a joke, anon. You can take jokes right?

Who cares. They used a "proper" pronoun, maybe first game ever to do so, and no one trying to push them even fucking noticed except a single tumblr post.

Also the bigender is killed by a religious fanatic anyway.

Great, I wanted to play Azure Strike Gunvolt until now

Everyone will just look at this now and think "Pft, whatever it's just one video game".
Look at fucking Sweden. This is our future as a whole, and we laid the groundwork for xem to use. Congrats.

>>262403342

Killed is a strong term, but it did mark a dedicated shift towards a score-based focus that X5/6 already hinted at anyways.

>>262403625
>>262403645

No mistake made. Xe is a (stupid sounding) new gender neutral pronoun.
See:
>>262403978

Honestly, the Japanese got this shit down long ago since they have gender neutral pronouns for gender ambiguous characters (i.e. Crona from Soul Eater).

>>262404410
it's not even that good anyway.
>use gun to tag enemy
>use electricity to hurt them
>recharge
>rinse and repeat

>>262404410

Eh, it's still a solid game despite the pronouns. Really, the localization is pretty hit and miss.

>>262404562
I think with the Zero series being handheld, it's acceptable. Battle Network is definitely something that belong on a handheld too.

Reminder that this is exactly the type of shit gamergate is going to bring about now that we've made them rally.

We made it worse.

>using pretend pronouns

Great. I'm sorry I spent money on that game.

Wouldn't Xe just be pronounced "She"? Or are we going by goofy sci-fi standards and pronouncing it "Zee"?

>>262402727
>>262402225
Probably because this is the same level of shit as L'cie and Fal'Cie in FF13.

"XE" just simply does not compute as a synonym for he, and never will. Why they push this I don't understand.

It's really just the main way the Zero series differentiates itself from the other MM series, like ZX and its open world-esque design. Each subseries has its own unique thing; ASG simply feels like a spin on the Zero series.

Seriously, watch the Icons episode of Mega Man. Not a single goddamn mention of Akira Kitamura or Tokuro Fujiwara.

What's wrong with "they"?
I mean seriously I'm not trying to be cheeky I thought they/them was a completely fine and appropriate gender-neutral pronoun.
Xe/xir just sounds like an alien and it looks stupid

>>262405543

Eh, what was there got the point across well enough. Could've gone without the "jitt/gack" business, though.

So wait let me get this straight, it's a nip game, but translated by an SJW team?

>>262406672
If it had anything to do with SJW, you wouldn't be fighting and then killing said person.

I do want to know who localize Gunvolt though, because they shouldn't be hired for how lazy they fucking are.

How do you pronounce "xe?" Is it pronounced like the American letter "Z?" If so, why not pronounce it "ze."

>>262402225
Somebody should straight up ask the dev if "xe" has a penis or not. Boom, gender identified.

>>262407071
It's pronounced "kshshnguee", shitlord.

XE XI XO XUM
I SMELL THE BLOOD OF FUCKING CISSCUM

>>262407071
You pronounce it he, to piss them off.

>>262407071
You pronounce, and spell, it "their", and adhere to the rules of the English language that were written down many centuries ago.

I don't get why we need a new word when there's an old one already in use.

>>262402225
You dont even get to fight the xir guy. Some other white hair character kills him when you get to the boss room.

>>262407071
I pronounce it like "Zee", just like when saying xenophobic or xenomorph.

It doesn't make the game bad. Now, if the game actually does suffer in some way because of SJW pandering then you can complain. But getting mad about negligible shit like this just adds fuel to the fire.

It leads a team of hunters.

>>262402225

as long as its a good game it shouldn't bother you
and i fucking hate the xe / xir shit, there's no such thing as genderfluid go fuck yourself

>>262407859
Why? I'm just curious.

This ain't the death of vidya, it's the exact opposite.
Remember how we always tell SJW to fuck off and make their own games? Well, apparently they're doing that now!
If it rules, good for all of us. If it only speaks for a niche audience, well, good for them. Broadening the media is a good thing. If it sucks? Well, then they'll hopefully shut up (a little) and won't pester vidya developers anymore to make shit for them ; because now they proved that a) their concepts don't work and b) even themselves couldn't pull that shit off.

>>262407616
It paints a future in which SJW won. That is clearly not intended in the original language and should not have been altered.

Seriously, you're all being a bit too touchy here. You sound whinier than the SJW themselves. Think about that.

There's many lines between pandering, including and tossing shit out for no real reason.
This is the last of those. They were like,
>Hey, y'know what could be cool. If this guy was a guy and a girl... And had a crazy crystal want and tail.
Then the translation team got it and was like,
>Shit, this character keeps switching gender what do we call it?
>How about they?
>No, wait, it's supposed to be one person. And it's all sci-fi and shit. How about Xe?
>Fuck it, why not.

Really, the use of it isn't indicative of an agenda overtaking all games.
That's the same as crazy feminists saying including female enemies are indicitive of games being violent against women.

>>262404681
> Xe is a (stupid sounding) new gender neutral pronoun.

The only people who recognize this as a word are mentally retarded and/or insane.

Your nothing. Now die.

>>262408042
If it's a deliberate translation change then I can understand. That's basically censoring.

>>262407883
The laziness is more about how they opted out of translating most of the game, giving us another Battle and Chase localization, but yeah. The line was most likely there in the Japanese version too.

>>262407517
I think xir and xe is stupid but lmao if you think the english language hasn't changed at all over the centuries it' been spoken and written

most likely it was considered to offensive to be written like that in english so they used the sjw safe word xe, who did the translation anyway same people who are doing mighty no 9s, if so then yeah that would explain it, not saying they hould have called him tranny in english, but xe is just fucking stupid

Are these characters familiar enough with each other that they would actually not only exchange pronouns, but respect each other enough to use the correct ones?

>>262408312
Japanese actually has separate words for many situations, and in this case they're often used when a gender is either unknown, or especially in writing when you want to keep a gender mysterious. This kind of language difference is common. A good example to read about for language-specific writing tools is Kafka's Metamorphosis, where he frequently writes in German in a way where the ass-end of the sentence can completely change the rest of the sentence that's not really replicable in English.

English has an ambiguous pronoun in "it", but it's never really been considered appropriate to use it for people other than infants or when referring to yourself (it's me). So it would come across as an insult in English to use for an adult, despite the fact it's technically correct.

I wouldn't really worry about all this xe/xir stuff though. There have been several attempts to introduce new pronouns to English for many many years for various reasons, and none have gained any traction. Pronouns are one of the most basic and most important aspects of language, and people in general simply will not adopt new ones for extremely rare cases.

>>262402225
This really bothers you? Fuck off

>>262411428

>Acting like transgender people are hermaphrodites is like, the oldest insult to them in the book.

This is also hilarious, from Greg Costikyan's "Gamersgate: STFU" article where he said he'd fight off anyone criticizing women with a katana:

>4. My friend, Dan Bunten, a seminal figure in early PC gaming, who decided he was a woman, and after extensive surgery, became Danielle Bunten Berry.

These people can't do anything right

>>262402225
The only reason they did this, and the only reason it works, is because the character is literally both male and female. None of that "identifies as" bullshit.

>>262412038
I hate it. It's not using English correctly to use "they" as a singular personal pronoun. The sanctity of the English language comes before feelings if you ask me.

No. It's when you don't know if you address to a trans with he or she. I know a trans that has a male name and want people to call him "he".

Yes, that's how it works. When you don't know someone's gender, the correct way to refer to them in a gender neutral way is to refer to the person as a group. A group of one. They are a person.

No, "it" is not a gender neutral singular pronoun, it is a pronoun for a thing or literal object. An idea or concept is also a thing, so you can refer to them as an "it" when talking about one. "They" is a pronoun for groups, both for things and people, which doesn't use gender.

>>262411953
"Xe" sounds alien because of the word that uses it the most, "Xeno" literally means alien. Xenophobic, for example.

Not sure if they're still just running those; been a while since I watched. Only really remotely historical show on there last I recall was American Pickers, if only because you can see some neat stuff and get some interesting history on the items in question (without watching some guys try to screw people over at a pawn shop). Wish they'd show more actual history, and not just as holiday specials.

I think the last time I really enjoyed watching anything there was one summer many years back, where they did some weeklong marathon on human sacrifice across various cultures.

>>262412782
X is often used when talking about variables. In this case, the character could be either He or She, so Xe is used as X is an unknown.

I seriously don't have a problem at all with a neutral gendered pronoun for the english language. But the word they're trying to force is so fucking horrible. It's so frustrating.

It's like if they wanted to paint a house with a nondescript, unassuming colour, and went with the most obnoxious unusual one they could. It goes directly against what the word should be for.

Where were you when somebody made a game you didn't have to play?

>>262413275
The only thing the extra buttons do is let you map one of the existing buttons to X or Y.

Other than that, it doesn't use the full DS screen size for the games, you see art for the bosses on the bottom screen (unlocked afterwards in a gallery), you can unlock the cards for MMZ3, and to unlock everything you'll have to play through the stupidly easy easy mode at least once.

The character is neither a he or a she. Calling the character an 'it' would of dehumanized the character. Not sure about the story, but it would of been in the translator's best interest to try and keep the character as 'human' as possible

And Xe is not some tumblr word that was invented last week. It was being used as early as the 70's

To be fair, the poster in OP's pic is a retard. This is not about 'gender-neutral representation'....it's about using the correct pronoun for a character who literally has no gender, even in the japanese version

>>262414298

>>262414374
>It was being used as early as the 70's

It's still a stupid word and I hate seeing it.

I don't care about the character or the game, I think they're just fine.

Seriously does anyone have the screencap of people from Inafune's crapshoot of a company saying Dina's agenda would not be forced into their games, and that she was a community manager, not a writer or otherwise, when it was proven her boyfriend WAS in a position of power in the translation team?

This is why games should have little-to-no narrative, leave that shit up to interpretation or you'll get everyone's panties in a knot.

>>262414374
>Calling the character an 'it' would of dehumanized the character.

>Implying that isn't what we should be referring to such immoral inhuman mentally ill abominations of nature

>>262414165
Like, yeah, if you want to make a gender neutral pronoun, that's fine and all, but why the fuck do you have to use letters like x and z? If you want it to be a natural and common place pronoun that won't get ridiculed, don't use the most uncommon letters you possibly can so you can keep your special snowflake status. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

>>262414760

>THE ONLY OPTIONS WERE XE OR IT

Or they. Just say they, the same as if you don't know the gender of someone to begin with because you never met them. See what I just did? Them and they is acceptable and has been used in proper English since the middle ages.

Xe is not a word at all - it's not a tumblr word or a word 'from the 70s'. It is simply not a word. It's made up bullshit, saying something doesn't make it a word. FURHRGURHGUG isn't a word just because I've used it now.

The "correct pronoun" for a character with absolutely no gender is they or it, neither of those dehumanize anything.

And this, this is bullshit;
>it's about using the correct pronoun for a character who literally has no gender, even in the japanese version

In Japan they simply leave out the honorific. That's it. You never say "he" or "she" in Japanese to begin with. Staying androgynous in Japanese media is very easy because the language doesn't USE PRONOUNS IN THE FIRST PLACE so don't sit there saying it's the "same in Japanese" you stupid fucking piece of shit.

>>262414749
Do we have confirmation of this? Because if people found this in context before they found it out of context like we have here, it sounds like it would have gotten the exact opposite reaction.

>>262414374
Xe isn't humanizing. Considering the character is a alien and a villain they should of just used It.

>>262414685
No. According to all the dictionaries currently in print, Xe is a symbol on the periodic table. Nothing more.

Ke = Key, Kay
Le = Lee, Lay
Me = Nope
Ne = Nee could work, but not Nay.

voices matter

So what's the reasoning behind having a zillion of them if they're wildcards?

>>262416431
and? Good for them. But when localizing games you need to take into account what you are trying to convey. No one here mind being called a giant cocksucking faggot, but it doesn't mean it's perfectly fine to use giant cocksucking faggot instead of something like idiot.

>it's a mouthful
That's a lazy complaint. It's still the proper way to do it, "they" has come into use as a singular personal pronoun simply because people are too lazy to do it properly.

>doesn't apply to most of the people who want a not "he" or "she" pronun
Do people have a right to bend language to suit their agendas?

Nobody can agree on what gender is or what about gender is most important or what the goals of new pronouns should really be.
Even people fighting for social justice causes can't agree on this shit.
