What pronoun do you use to refer to Sheik?

She's a girl. End of story. What a dumb argument the creators and nintendo refer to her as a her, its just some dumb young children trying to fight about gender equality. You know what I hear from you right now? You're saying OMG U SHUT UP SHEIK CAN BE WHATEVER GENDER SHIEK WANTS TO BE when she's already a girl and you know it

You're very rude. :/

Also, 1. "dumb young children"? I'm 21, thank you.
2. Accepting someone as their gender identity isn't "gender equality" - it's common courtesy.
3 I never said Zelda was a man. Read my post on the previous page regarding her gender and how it relates to her alias, Shiek.
 
Never really thought about this...

I always just use a female pronoun, because I don't think of her as Shiek. I think of her as Zelda in a disguise, since I automatically knew that Shiek was Zelda in Ocarina of Time.

That being said, both should be acceptable terms, unless Shiek has come up to one of you personally and told you exactly what they would like to be called.

no idea why youre going on like you are. stop mini modding this board, youve been doing it for the past 3 pages telling people what we should call HER. Your first post doesnt even make sense. You say its a her but then say we shouldnt just call her a her because you think maybe secretly she likes to be a man. you can think that but seriously the mini modding makes you look like youre a little kid which is exactly what youre acting like

My first post was a joke - because I thought it was strange that some people are willing to call Zelda "Shiek", but won't call Zelda when in Shiek-mode "he". In other words, if you can accept her disguise, why can't you accept the gender she chose for her disguise?

And what?? I never said she secretly likes to be a man. Don't put words in my mouth. :/


Here, look at it as an "Actor and Character" sort of relationship - the actor in this case (Zelda) is a woman, but the character she plays (Shiek) is a man.
Now, imagine someone gets a role in a movie or play, who is a woman, but the character they're playing as is a man; Would you refer to the character as "she", just because of the actors gender?

And please explain how I'm "mini-modding"?

Guys, don't fight about this. This is probably one of the least important matters and was only put up here as a little subject to talk about. -_-
 
Her. It's zelda.

If you were in Hyrule and met Sheik, you would likely refer to her as him due to the disguise if it's good enough. Like Ruto did.

I'm remaining civil as possible. However, I can't just sit back and let someone insult me and put words in my mouth.
 
Oh honey... If someone presents themselves as male, you refer to them as male unless told otherwise, m'kay? It's just respectful.

That being said, y'all are arguing over a fictional character.

I'm not arguing for the characters sake - I'm arguing because Oranges seems to think that what's "in someones pants" makes them a man or a woman. (And because, like I said before, I'm having words put in my mouth and insulted for no good reason)
 
youre just as bad as creepysheepy.
i said twice "in this case" it's a girl but you just read what you want to read so you can fight. get over it you extreme tumblr hippie

You said "in this case" once, and that was only after stating that it's "because it's not real life" (which, you never explained how that makes any difference)

And I'll say it again; you're very rude. You have no reason to go around calling me (nor creepysheepy - whom I don't understand why you keep singling out like that) names.

Just because I'm condemning the argument does NOT mean I am on your side. The fact is, you've been a real prick and you type like an infant. Before matters get worse, I suggest apologizing, because your behavior is not appropriate for such a nice and generally positive forum.

*Ahem* Just thought I'd say I think everyone in general just needs to stop using age as an insult..

Bro, infants can't type. Period. I wasn't meaning that like he was immature, more like he was inept. I could've said: "You type like an orangutan." Sorry if I was misinterpreted.

ooh watch out theyll yell at you for not understanding what they said even though it made no sense to start with and then creepysheepy will be a rude cow for no reason for the rest of the night
