    So if you don’t know, Kevin Afghani, the new voice actor for Mario and Luigi…

    [insert drumroll sounds]

    …has he/him in his Twitter bio.

    Yeah that’s it. It’s not that the voice actor uses some kind of pronouns that may trigger people like they/them, xe/xim, etc. It’s that the voice actor is a cisgender male who uses he/him like any other normal male human and nothing else. SwitchPlayed is literally whining about nothing.

        I’ve been told that corporations are people, and you should call people the names assigned at birth, so that’s what I’m doing.

      The he/him indicates support, or at least acceptance, of trans people. The only thing that’s good enough for these people is openly hating trans people.

    Just start misgendering people who screech about hating pronouns.

                No, that’s a dataminer.

                A determiner is a mafia-type, usually found in smoke-filled back rooms with wads of cash and a pistol on the table.

        “My” is the first-person singular possessive pronoun in English. It fills the same role in a sentence as the pronouns “his” or “her” or “their”.

        “This is my/his/her/their thing.”

        I don’t see how it could be anything but a pronoun.

          A pronoun replaces the noun. An adjective usually accompanies the noun, but it never replaces it.

          “My house is there”. I’ve never heard anyone saying “My is there”. But I did hear saying “Mine is there”.

            That’s actually a matter of some contraversiality.

            You can’t actually just replace “my” in a sentence with an adjective and have it come out sounding natural. You can say “this is my house” but you can’t say “this is big house”. You’re missing a determiner, not an adjective.

            Possessive determiners are determiners which express possession. Some traditional grammars of English refer to them as possessive adjectives, though they do not have the same syntactic distribution as bona fide adjectives.[1]

            The words my, your, etc. are sometimes classified, along with mine, yours etc., as possessive pronouns[3][4] or genitive pronouns, since they are the possessive (or genitive) forms of the ordinary personal pronouns I, you etc. However, unlike most other pronouns, they do not behave grammatically as stand-alone nouns but instead qualify another noun, as in my book (contrasted with that’s mine, for example, in which mine substitutes for a complete noun phrase such as my book). For that reason, other authors restrict the term “possessive pronoun” to the group of words mine, yours etc., which replaces directly a noun or noun phrase.[5][6] — Wikipedia, Possessive determiner

            This is further complicated by the fact that some words are sometimes true pronouns, and sometimes possessive determiners (his, her, its). In this way, it is difficult to fully separate the role of possessive determiner from the role of pronoun.

            But thank you for making me research it a bit more.
