OCs whose name/pronouns people always get wrong

Posted 5 years, 2 months ago (Edited 5 years, 2 months ago) by fuelli

Show me your characters whose name and/or pronouns people always get always wrong! Because we all know that's the kind of thing that happens, be it on the website itself (esp. forum games), off-site, or even in real-life! Are some characters of yours more prone to this than others, and why/how? And how do you usually reacts when it happens?


Whydah Caloris AsianTapWater

they got she/her'd so often by the other players in the campaign that i just ended up having them use any pronouns but with a preference for they/them lol 

Traffic light man KawaiiSnail08

Despite his name being traffic light MAN, many people refer to him as a girl due to how I can’t draw male bodies

Kaci QueenFish

I pronounce their name wrong (I pronounce in Kay-see)

AND I KEEP SAYING SHE INSTEAD OF THEM😭😭😭

rowen liu pepperpenguin

every1 thinks his name is rowan when its rowen........ like i get it but cmon yall

Val SherbetToons

Everyone assumes Val is a "he". It's ironic because Val is my fursona and this is a known fact, and the same people who refer to Val as a "he" are the same people who exclusively refer to me as a person as a "she" (despite me going by all pronouns, mind you) so it's like.. why aren't you making the connection here? 

They obviously resort to calling them a "he" because it's the most stereotypically conventional option in their mind, for a character that doesn't suit the norms of most female furry designs. I don't care though, and I'm going to continue making my characters androgynous with "unfitting" pronouns out of spite until these people unlearn their biases. I enjoy making my characters an inconvenience to guess the pronouns of. 

Rosevault PaxCeasesToExist

irl everyone i know calls her Rosavelt < /3 Ic i imagine they probably only get called she/her probably because there arent many companions that use they/them at all i imagine, let alone interchangeably

Strawberry poundcake Vannykinz87

Cis male! He’s probably my most misgendered oc. He just loves feminine clothes and being pretty but also likes being a guy, no harm in that :3

Cube jazzynoteblocks

.if i had a nickel for every time someone referred to them w he/him pronouns despite they/them clearly being listed i’d have a lot of nickels

Gray Allard graystreet003

A lot of people write his name as "Grey" a lot

MOONLIGHT PERSON (OPEN) sargon_solarov

moonlight is just so mad when anyone calls them a “he”

they use moon/them/void prn ^^

Witold Romanov little_owu

He is intersex but goes strictly by he/him!! FELLAS!!! LONG HAIR ≠ SHE/HER!!!

 Lafayette “Leif” Deirdre stabwxrthy

Leif is pronounced "layf" not "leaf"!! 😭🙏 also he's a "princess" so obviously things don't correlate there lol

H0ppin_H00ligan

I don't wanna go IC for this character bc they have blood in their design and i don't wanna freak people out but....my OC 🩸 Dot 🩸

I've never seen anyone to this to them PERSONALLY but i sometimes forget they're nonbinary and accidentally use he/him for them in my head...
