Attack on Titan 1x19 Full Reaction

@dolo This is 2 years later, but nope sorry you're incorrect. As I alluded to, in Japanese there are more gender-neutral pronouns. Levi says "she could kill you", but that is only an english translation. As for this theory that Isayama only portrayed her gender as ambiguous to avoid being 'cancelled', I highly doubt an author in 2011 (around the time Hange was introduced) decided to create a character with vague gender to avoid criticism from international fans. This makes absolutely no sense. If Hange was a woman then nobody would ever know any different or care.

Oh my god... please we dont care about americans gender theories... She's a woman... and it's confirmed. When Levi said "she Could kill you"... what a debate.. and if the autor said that it's probably to dodge polemics and to not be canceled by who you know...

JTII That's not something that leftists do, it's something that linguists do, as well as anyone with an understanding of language. If pronouns are used incorrectly, the improper messages indicating femininity, masculinity and androgyny are conveyed. It's not some leftist initiative, it's simply the improper use of language to not care if pronouns are used correctly.

maurizio, only the left-wing Americans are fixated on how other people should use pronouns

JTII

I like how you specifically bring up Americans, Maurizio, as if this wasn't a Japanese show

Chelly

I disagree. They should watch it the way it was intended to be viewed. It’s bizarre to change the order in my opinion.

tom

If they react to OVA's they shouldn't watch "Ilse's Notebook" until after Season 2 episode 5 I think. Since it takes some suspense out of certain things, imo.

Is korra once a week?

Americans and their fucking pronouns......pathetic

maurizio piras

Who cares about the gender. It's sexy or not. If I like it I take it.

Thank you! As a comment in the other post said, Hange's gender was never confirmed (In Japanese it's much easier to avoid gendering someone in the language) and the author of the series said he would rather let people interpret it how they choose, so a lot of people like to use they/them. I personally switch between feminine pronouns and neutral ones. The anime amped up a lot of Hange's feminine traits and casted a woman voice actress (Though she did say in an interview she tried her best to convey a genderless sense). On another note, what OVAs do you two think you'll be reacting to? I look forward to them + your overall thoughts on S1 before going in S2 (Which I'm also excited for because the writing specifically for the characters is so much better imo, can't wait)
