So there’s a new Crayola game on #AppleArcade and in Portuguese they translated every single instance of a singular gender neutral “they” to… a plural gendered pronoun
Like, really! This game makes NO SENSE in Portuguese! You can literally choose “Eles(as)” as a pronoun for your character, and every single time at the character creation screen they refer to the character as “eles” which is just plural
They could’ve used “elu” or “ile” for the pronouns choice which are gender neutral pronouns in Portuguese (even tho we don’t have a really mainstream gender neutral pronoun yet) or even just disabled the gender neutral option because of the lack of mainstream ones, but nope they chose to add something that makes absolutely no sense at all unless you have two headmates of different genders. And for the “choose their name”-like stuff they could’ve just used the male pronouns (thats often still used if u don’t know one’s gender) or even the gender neutral pronouns that do exist, but once again they used the plural

Who thought it was a good idea to replace unmaintained "pytest-lazy-fixture" with "pytest-lazy-fixtures"? Like, the original package was singular, the replacement is plural. Can you make things any more confusing?
