Cut Sleeve
- ... that He was gay?
- ALT1:... that He was homosexual?
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Ye Liansong
Created by Kingoflettuce (talk). Self-nominated at 14:12, 17 February 2016 (UTC).
The current hook seems to imply that God is a homosexual, because of the capitalized "H" on "He". I'm not sure if this is a mistake on the author's part or a deliberate attempt to fool viewers, but you can count on scores of people being rather offended by it. Subsequently, I'm not really comfortable with these kinds of hooks going up on the main page. Other than that: I don't have access to the books, so I can't check for copyvio's, but the article has enough content and seems to be adequately inline sourced.—♦♦ AMBER(ЯʘCK) 17:27, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
- To be fair, in this particular instance "He" isn't even functioning as a pronoun — it's the actual proper name of the story's protagonist. An alternative way around the ambiguity, if this gets promoted to actual DYK, would be to use the character's full name "He Shican" instead of just "He", although in reality I suspect that the ambiguity ("He was gay? He who?") was in and of itself the primary purpose of this nomination. Bearcat (talk) 00:31, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
