Except that it isn't a person, it is a character in a book HyogaRott Send a noteboard - 14/11/2018 02:57:12 PM

The reactions of the characters of the book are based on the character's perception. As a reader, we are privileged to know the totality of that character.

Based on that totality, "it" is appropriate based on the context.

This is exactly why the knee-jerk response was so amusing. damookster - 13/11/2018 01:18:28 AM 591 Views
I think you could argue it's surprisingly apt. TheCrownless - 13/11/2018 01:31:37 AM 628 Views
I think for once you were unfairly called out on this based on your "history" TheCrownless - 13/11/2018 01:26:41 AM 648 Views

I don't know what's so hard to understand about this. You don't refer to people by 'it'. Legolas - 13/11/2018 08:09:34 AM 576 Views
People are refered to by "it" all the time.... Jeordam - 13/11/2018 05:26:33 PM 582 Views
But remember, human fetuses aren't people. /s *NM* TyrReborn - 13/11/2018 05:42:00 PM 387 Views
Your second example rather proves my point, don't you think? Legolas - 13/11/2018 07:50:39 PM 591 Views
and those of us defending Cannoli maintain damookster - 13/11/2018 07:59:08 PM 527 Views

FWIW mine was concerning ambiguity Cannoli - 13/11/2018 11:01:03 PM 591 Views
Okay, sure. Legolas - 13/11/2018 11:26:58 PM 605 Views
Interesting.... Jeordam - 13/11/2018 11:36:43 PM 568 Views

I think I mostly covered that above, but I can recap. Legolas - 14/11/2018 08:02:51 AM 586 Views
Who's on the phone? aerocontrols - 14/11/2018 01:53:14 AM 585 Views
Sure, I agree. Legolas - 14/11/2018 07:45:58 AM 588 Views
Aran'gar does not, and doesn't have to represent, trangender people for your usage to be wrong fionwe1987 - 13/11/2018 03:21:42 PM 600 Views
