OCs whose name/pronouns people always get wrong

Posted 5 years, 3 months ago (Edited 5 years, 3 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?


Hotaru Karren

There are some problems with this one. Looks girly, is technically genderless, uses male pronouns but accepts being referred to with they/them pronouns. People think he is a girl sometimes, but I understand it and just correct them.They usually don't make that mistake again and there was only one really unpleasant situation.

There was one girl who completely ignored all those informations when she was drawing him and drew him with a typical male body and manly looking face. When I mentioned it in a comment, she got angry and made a post about that I'm "impolite" and that I didn't give her enough information. But it's clearly visible on his profile here. And she called him "a girl who wants to be a boy" in one of the answers under that comment I mentioned 

Cruise Tucker Ramazikaa

People always think Cruise is a girl for some reason?? 

 Ginger(REDESIGNING) Valendaze

Ginger's actually been called "he" or "boy" a LOT. I'm thinking of giving her all pronouns at this point, since I go by all pronouns mostly ^^"

Kaede Samedi sylfeon

in art games/forum games in general, people think hex is a boy :/

catergiest

roach gets mistaken as a female! theyre just a creature that couldnt care less about their gender and just wants to vibe

Ninani danlion

It's not like it really matters and tbh I've taken advantage of it, but Nina gets mistaken for female a lot... for very obvious reasons, lol.

ᴍᴊᴇʀᴅᴇʀ Fehn

I actually mistook this character for a female based on the original design, and by the time I realized it was designed to be male, it was way too late xD So here is Mjerder (Raspberry in another language, but also conveniently sounds a bit like murder)

She's a bloodthirsty demon that can change her form from male to female, though she identifies more with her female form.

Edit: I put the original design as the image, but if you look at her other art you'll see what I mean <3

Caelan Myceliummadness

They're gender fluid so sometimes its true, but people think they're a girl :/

Eggi-Sales

My son akari ya'd think it'd be easy to pronounce but nope :"))

 Umeko 'UFO' Okabe Ceramix

Aja's name is supposed to be pronounced with a hard J, like AH-jah, but I've heard my friends mispronounce it with a much softer J-- almost a 'sh' sound.

Vesper circlejourney

I went back to check if I mentioned this the last time, but since it's happened a few times since I made that post... Vesper has gotten called "he" several times. I can't wrap my mind around people thinking she's male, but I guess I do forget how my characters look to others because I know them so well myself.

Prism Overlord

Prism has been called ‘she’ many times.
