you're making no sense. maybe you should rephrase your post and try again.

Fathermother was a great character. In a completely fucked up way

Not a definition of what something is, because that's what it has been explicitly used for years on end. If it is an ideal or debated topic then yes, sure. But I don't see any fucking autists like you arguing
>'hurr every instance of they needs to be replaced with it
I'm also talking about multiple bosses from multiple games. They refers to a group of multiple people that can't be defined by a simple trait (other than boss). Guess what the fucking bosses are you tardboy?

>game introduces enemies that hit for 5000 damage out of nowhere

Fuck FF2

>It, used in singular context
Sif is hard, it keeps killing me in one hit.

>They, used in multiple context
Sif, O&S, and Artorias is hard, they keep killing me.

No one, but you is trying to force a word where it doesn't contextually belong. He was talking about multiple bosses, So you use they. I can't make this easier to understand.

half life 2 did this well tho, you lost your weapons but you got a super fun one to use instead

none of you were referring to multiple bosses. you said "kill boss", which refers to a single subject, which is why your usage of -they- is stupid.

also it's "Sif, O&S, and Artorias ARE hard", not Sif, O&S, and Artorias is hard".
