r/thelastofus on Reddit: Bella Ramsey: Pronouns(please be respectful)
November 2, 2023 -

Hey Everyone, so I have a question and this is more of an education for me than anything.

I know in an interview Bella expressed that she is Non Binary and generally doesn’t care what pronouns are used to describe her. In that interview she opted for she/her.

My question is if she has no preference and opted for she her why do some people still go out of the way to use other pronouns?

The way i assumed she meant when she made this statement was if she was mistakenly given he/him they/them she would not be offended by this. But it seems to me like alot of people generally just want to ascribe a certain pronoun to her.

Now again this is totally an education piece for me as i could be completely wrong in my assessment.

(If you cant engage respectfully don’t, If you say disgusting or hateful stuff towards Bella or LGBTQ individuals i will block and ignore you.)

Thanks!

it's a good question tbh and there's no harm in asking it imo i think (from what i've read) bella has mentioned that they do actually prefer they/them, but they're not bothered if people use other pronouns for them and it's not a cause of concern for them. i will always use whatever pronouns people tell me are their preferred pronouns, and i think it's really important to also ensure people know there is nothing incorrect about using singular they/them. a lot of people seem to hesitate to use singular they if someone uses those pronouns, because they think it's not how language works, but singular they is completely grammatically correct. i hope that makes sense and answers the question!

My hunch is that she's good with any/all pronouns and didn't want the fans beating each other up trying to correct each other about her correct pronouns.

Turns out people calling Bella She/her were just as correct as anyone calling Bella They/Them, hell, people can even call Bella He/him if they want, She has no problem with all of them.

Now hopefully people will stop going at each other's throats when referring to Bella. I get people are trying to be respectful which is great, but the arguments get fucking ridiculous.
