Typical Pubbie posted:That's not an honorific like miss or ma'am. It's not a big deal, it's just odd that I have to remind myself this character is gender neutral when they're slinging dusty gendered nouns like they're in a Dickens novel. The lack of a gender neutral term of respect is a weird blind spot in the English language, though. Can we steal usted or something?

I bet Tommy Binks had something to do with this. Edit: In other Tackleford related news (Giant Days #34 spoilers) Ed Gemmel. He never scored (with Esther). OK, he's probably not dead, but I wouldn't put it past Allison. Yvonmukluk fucked around with this message at 21:49 on Jan 3, 2018 |

I know some fantasy stuff has done a push to use 'Ser' rather than the gendered 'Sir' or 'Lady' but that always strikes me as weird because if you say it it's just 'sir'.

There's also "Sor" But then again, it's a written medium, pronunciation doesn't really matter (Cue the Nedroid "Sword" strip)

There's always "citizen". You know, like "Citizen Kane" instead of "Mister Kane".

Tollymain posted:i like and use mx Well that's one I haven't heard before. In general words like that won't catch on though, because honorifics like sir/ma'am more or less function like pronouns, which are a closed class of words in English. Closed classes don't tend to accept newly coined words, but only slowly mutate if at all.

Tollymain posted:pronouns change plenty. see thee/thou getting phased out Yeah, that's what I mean. Pronouns tend to change through a drawn out process of gradual usage, but not with abrupt changes. So 'Mx' isn't likely to catch on, unless you can get people to use 'Ms." gender neutrally first, and it slowly shifts over like decades. It's the same reason english is moving towards singular 'they' instead of any alternative pronuns that have been suggested.

There was an extreme level of pushback against "Ms" as late as the 80s.

While not animation, Unsounded does some pretty fantastic stuff with its page framing from time to time whenever poo poo goes off the rails, creating the sense that whatever magic is happening has gone so wrong it's literally spilling off the page and infecting the website itself at times.

Honey Crab does animations and sometimes sound, and at least once showed a cosmetic choice in how the protagonist reacts to another character, but they might do more elaborate stuff later. It has a "no frills" option to read it as a regular comic too, frame by frame.

Most of the ones I can think of have already been named, but Hobo Lobo does some cool poo poo. On the other hand, with how many people have switched to phone browsers, fancy webcomics might be a harder sell these days.

Awful Hospital does occasional animation or music, and also does the whole "reader suggestions" thing that MS Paint Adventures did, but in a more meaningful and story specific way.

You can use "pardner" but only if you wear either a leather vest or a cowboy hat.
