How to refer to Naomi before we know her name
Added 2023-01-30 21:41:24 +0000 UTCHello all! Was wondering what you think I should do for a counter involving Naomi, Ray Penbar's fiancé. Here are the options I have thought of, but comment below whatever you think is best

I think adding "woman genius detective" adds this weird implication. Like if it was a male character they'd just be "genius detective" not "genius male detective"

2023-02-03 12:32:06 +0000 UTCI mean even Ray refers to her as Naomi;before he dies, so I don’t see anything wrong with referring to her as such

2023-01-31 12:54:37 +0000 UTCEveryone who watches your reaction has probably watched the show, so I don't see the issue of using her real name?

2023-01-31 07:09:13 +0000 UTCsometimes people watch reactions alongside the actual episodes. Depending on the show I do that too

2023-01-31 04:17:21 +0000 UTCI'd put "Penber's Fiance Genius Counter," or "Raye's Fiance Genius counter." Having both names makes it a bit too long imo.

2023-01-31 02:55:02 +0000 UTCThat’s fair. Most of the detectives, and there are a lot of them, are male. She is distinguished by being a superb detective, who is also a woman.

2023-01-31 02:30:37 +0000 UTCThere are a lot of detectives and she’s the only woman, thought it would distinguish well!

2023-01-31 01:17:14 +0000 UTCWhy add "woman" to the beginning? just do unnamed detective

2023-01-31 00:51:41 +0000 UTCI feel like nobody wants "ray penber's fiance" because shes so much better than him and it feels rude to reduce such a badass to that role haha Literally every scene of him we get is either him being really easily manipulated or pretty egregiously sexist to Naomi (I understand there is some cultural context but his character is American and they live in America so I don't buy that argument)

2023-01-30 23:38:29 +0000 UTCI'd personally go with either Naomi, or if you're concerned about spoiling her name (which I think is a silly thing to consider a spoiler but that's just me) then Woman Detective.

2023-01-30 22:44:09 +0000 UTCTbh it kind of bothers me when people do that. They should watch it before watching reactions, but that's just my opinion..

2023-01-30 22:32:22 +0000 UTCI agree, just putting it there in case, but I'll probz go with another top choice rather than that one spoiler wise
