This really, REALLY irritates me. Feels like such small, petty thing that could've easily been resolved by pointing out discrepancies between dubs, gender differences as portrayed in the core games, or whatever the issue is about.
Paradox blaming us for gatekeeping when I've shown appreciation, thanked edits, and didn't revert any of her edits to the Pokemon species articles. And now I'm worried she will blame me for the slightest form of critique just because I feel I am rightfully irritated, especially because I fixed up the Eeveelution article especially for her and N64BOY.
I hoped that the better Eeveelution article would also put a fair compromise in place. Then i'm absent for three hours to play mario party with a friend then I come back online to find another conflict occur.
I'm very annoyed about this. Not at anyone in particular but over the situation over an anime Pokemon's gender. Like c'mon. What's going to happen now, a new account pops up in mid-2026 and similar issues occur?
I don't know how much of a relative example this is. But I know TPG is a lot more focused on the original Japanese source material of anime. Meanwhile, my editorial priority is the anglophone perspective while acknowledging discrepancies between the English and Japanese dubs, if any. That's if I were to try and be involved in that field. It's probably an unpopular take, and TPG has a lot more knowledge on the anime than I do (I'm mostly here for the games). But anyway, that's a large difference in perspective that could affect hundreds of articles.
Meanwhile, this conflict was all over the gender over a Pokemon Horizons protagonist's Pokemon. Only a single page. Absolutely ridiculous.
