Wow lol, this is a lot and I fundamentally disagree with it right off the bat. But let's start with how you started:

  • "they" was not used before to describe a single known individual --> Yes it was. I did it myself, 20 years ago. Let's say I'm writing a book report about an author and they go by an initial, like "C S Lewis." I dunno if that's a man or woman, so I'd say "I like their books" or whatever.
  • actually established gender neutral "he" --> LOL way to step on tabletop discourse unknowingly. Try searching for gendering rulebooks in tabletop and you'll quickly find how hated that use of "he" is as the assumed gender for people.

Also, why are you even taking the space for MY zine to discuss YOUR outdated gender opinions?  You're "pushing their view onto others" which, wow, you used "they" as a gender-neutral term for a singular person 2 paragraphs after saying people don't do that. And yes, you used "the person" as the subject there, which is singular. You didn't use "the actually established gender neutral he." So thanks for proving our point for us. Seems like you didn't tell us so.

Anyway, if you reply to this zine again, even if you reply with an apology or compliment, it'll be deleted as soon as I see it. You are not welcome here. This was created for a nonbinary game jam, and you're in here trying to explain away a whole group of people and failing spectacularly at it. That's literally the opposite intent of this zine.

Go be a closed-minded, hateful person elsewhere.
