I think I have a grasp on what's happening but of course I welcome the other person(s) to reply as well.

1. There is some weird language thing where ONE doesn't explicitly refer to Minegishi as a male in at least on instance.

2. According to the tumblr that Idonthaveaname2 posted (https://katyatalks.tumblr.com/post/618300770111062016/hi-sorry-to-bother-you-i-was-just-wondering), a Mob Psycho 100 translator elaborates. There is at least one time where ONE doesn't refer to Minegishi with a gendered pronoun, but there are many other times where he does.

3. Idonthaveausername sums up how these people see the issue: "we took the grain of ambiguity and latched onto it"

4. The people who really want to believe Minegishi is non-binary or whatever are very antagonistic and abbrasive towards anyone who questions/disagrees with them. See:





I see from your profile, Cents, that you aren't from the US or EU. Here there is a lot of people engaging in what we call "identity politics." People who see themselves in a minority (anything from different races, different sexual orientations, different gender identities like trans or nonbinary) seem to harbor hatred towards whatever they see as an "oppressive majority." I think this is why we see people posting the kinds of hateful messages I showed above. This kind of identity politics is not seen, for the most part, in the East (Japan, Phillipines, etc).

I would also like to point out one of the users above. Their name is "you can ban me but you can't ban the truth" and on their bio they admit to only making their account to engage in this "vandalism" as they call it.

I would also like to point out that Idonthaveaname is putting forth that Minegishi is non-binary as a fact backed up by the manga.



Even though he knows this is not the case:

I don't think it's a stretch to say that these users are knowingly trying to lie and stretch the truth to indulge in their own politics.

Once again, if anyone has a problem with my assessment of the facts they are welcome to tell me why they think I am wrong. If anyone needs any clarification of anything I said just let me know as well.

Sorry if the images are weird, it's hard to structure them in comments
