Talk:Flea (Chrono Trigger)

They/Them Pronouns
This is incorrect. In all versions of the game, Flea gets offended and corrects the party member who assumes from appearance alone that Flea is a 'she' and explicitly prefers to be called a 'he' as called by others. It's outright misrepresentating the character to indicate otherwise. If the idea is to "modernize" the character (which is not Wikipedia's domain), keep in mind that Flea overtly has traits of an otokonoko, which as the article specifies is not necessarily a statement on identity or orientation and has no real western equivalent. This article's sources seem ignorant of that fact and write from a western perspective of limited understanding, and to wit, none of the references refer to Flea as 'they' and in fact several respect the game script by referring to Flea as a 'he' instead. Wikipedia seems to be exclusively making that assertion. Metalsonic89 (talk) 12:18, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I just used they/them because it was a simpler solution at the time than to pick one or the other. I had planned to switch the pronouns to he/him when I took it to GA, though if you want to change them I couldn't really be bothered. - Bryn (talk) (contributions) 22:03, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
