You are assuming that every has the same knowledge about this individual as you, so they cannot make a mistake by calling them by their wrong pronoun on a forum post. That is wrong, people being called by their wrong pronouns happens all the time.
No. There was a thread on this. That is where I got all my information. I have alpha but I donāt read the story so I would never have known if not for this forum.
Assuming this isnāt bait, the idea is that you are āborn anew.ā
You are able to chose a new identity.
Itās mostly my mentality that Iām typically more curious about the how and why of something.
So now Iām wondering if this is something that only the Kyrians can do, or is it something that everybody in the Shadowlands gets the option of.
I think it is only part of the ābecoming a kyrian process.ā
Since weāre not actually dead, we canāt go through any of the transformations.
That would be a pretty neat lore point. It really just reminds me the movie What Dreams May Come. In that movie there is a character that was a black man in life but in death chose to be a white male. Besides what we have seen of the Kyrians they may not look the same as they did when they were alive.
There are 3 possible levels of information:
-
Played alpha, read all the quest text, paid attention to the story. In that case, you might refer to Pelagos as āthey/themā per the old text, or āhe/himā per the new text and the forum post.
-
Did not play alpha, but read the forum post. In that case, you would refer to Pelagos as āhe/himā, which the blue post specifically stated were the appropriate pronouns.
-
Zero knowledge of the situation whatsoever. In that case, you could conceivably use āthey/themā as the generic third person singular pronoun, or āhe/himā as Pelagos uses a male character model.
There is no situation in which the appropriate pronoun based on your level of knowledge is āsheā. You would never even know there was a question of appropriate pronouns unless you specifically read about it, in which case you are deliberately using the wrong ones, presumably to troll people.

I see he/she didnāt respond to you here. lol 
You forgot number 4 which is someone using the wrong pronoun based off the fact that someone else in the forum previously did, and then they thought that was the pronoun they went by when referencing them in the post. Hence, them not being privy to the information in your list.
People said in that forum post they were a she in lifeā¦ and you keep on dismissing the idea that we donāt encounter this live and dead issue ever in our normal lives so are they really transgender anyway.

Then by that logic, since we only encounter him when heās male, should you not refer to him as he?
If youāre going to say he doesnāt fall under transgender because it is a life/death issue, then you should only call him āheā because thatās the only way we experience him.

So you jumped in mid thread and didnāt read the blue OP that clarifies all this?
Yes, because itās not relevant.
Blizzard says Pelagos is trans, Blizzard writes the story, therefore Pelagos is trans.
None of those questions matter, people are in charge of their own behavior and if they are doing something to get reported then it was their behavior that caused it, not the person reporting it.

I will in the game.
Blizzard isnāt the arbiter of what trans means.
And do you not think that is what many other players on these forums do?
I have never seen blizzard come out and say they are transgender. Please provide a source for that because I didnāt see it.
Hence, the example that I used as number 4, and yet you just assumed that the person was ātrollingā from making a mistake, and then falsely reported them without thinking of the possibility that maybe they didnāt know the same amount of information as you.
No.
Thereās no excuse for crappy behavior.
If youāre cussing at my friends, being a douche to people in battlegrounds, being homophobic/ect, Iām reporting.
I donāt care how bad your day was.
Weāre all having bad days lately. Itās not an excuse.
The faster our communities stop being used as punching bags for frustrated people with no social skills the better.

I skimmed this thread, read some posts, saw some arguments about āhateful speechā, this and that.
All I see is people being experimented on. A big social experiment taking place, has been for years now and probably conducted by those few with too much money and time on their hands.
Iāll probably be labeled a conspiracy theorist or something, insulted, etcā¦ for this thought but it doesnāt really matter.
Doesnāt change the fact that this is happening. Has been for a long time now.
Lately itās masks. Covid, 24/7. Itās so incredibly boring. Itās all over, too.
Tv, internet, people I come across when I go to the store, beach, etcā¦ itās everywhere.
People get mad at you if you mess up, call someone a āheā or āsheā or by their old name, not because youāre being rude but because you didnāt know something they expect you to know.
You get attacked, called names, canāt have a conversation, get excluded.
It sucks. Itās outcasting others for just being themselves. Casting aspersions upon their character when you donāt even know them.
And itās all because of that social experiment thatās going on. This isnāt a theory, btw.
Itās fact.
Itās been talked about in corporate meetings, with big names youād all know.
Those meetings are so very dull but if you can stay awake and listen, you hear them outline it.
That was about 10 years ago they outlined whatās happening now.
Anyway, Iād rather talk about whatās going on either with the game or with the real world events.
Not some experiment weāre all getting sucked into. Thereās got to be some good jokes somewhere but I doubt Iāll find them here so Iām going to go now.
'Bye.
