Man, with how vague Splatoon is about its lore/plot points sometimes, I’m very wary of people who claim there is One Definitive Interpretation of this that or the other thing. Like no, just because the game uses they/them pronouns for Captain 3 doesn't mean giving them any other pronouns is misgendering. Like, unless you have something from actual canon (ie. the games themselves or dev interviews) to back it up, then I don't think it's fair to expect people to Universally Agree With You or Else. Going "This is how I see things, I really don't like it when people see it this other way" is fine but "This is how I see things, I am RIGHT and anyone who thinks otherwise is WRONG" is not. People have different opinions. You are not obligated to agree with them, but at the same time, they are not obligated to agree with you.

#splatoon #gonna ramble about the specific example that inspired this post #(no it is not they/them Capn 3 it's more... complicated than that)#anyways #there is One Specific Person on tumblr who is #Very Adamant on how to think of callie's s2 arc #like #they insist that the hypnoshades work how real world hypnosis does #(ex they just make you more susceptible to suggestion)#when like #Canonically #we dont know how they work #nintendo doesnt know how they work #and while i do think their interpretation is better then 'oH nO CaLlIe WaS bRaInWaShEd By ThE oCtArIaNs"#i do not think they are Objectively Correct #like i get having Opinions about your Comfort Characters #(god knows i certainly do)#but at some point u gotta realize u cant just brute force everyone to see them the same way you do #and thats okay!#They Are A Fictional Character #at some point u just gotta realize #ppl disagreeing w u on said Comfort Character is Not a personal offense #anyways this goes without saying but don't harass/try to ask me who i'm referring to here #bc 1) if u frequent the tag like i do u prolly know who im talking about #and 2) It Will Not Help #this is an Everyone Problem
