In other news, Twitch Plays Pokemon is actually really good practice at using gender-neutral terms, or addressing a multiple system.

TPP is literally a multiple system, and people have no trouble adressing them as “them” and “they” because this is a tangible example of so many identities sharing one character.

“Oh man They finally reached Celadon city!”

“All hail the helix fossil!”

“They deposited Pidgeot!”

They. They is a real and acceptable pronoun.
