i cannot bring myself to eat him. i have grown too attached

after writing this i wondered if kirby is actually a "he" and my roommate checked the wiki and the answer is "yes and no"

@aschmitz @wallhackio i said this and everyone else in the house was like “no you have to have kirby powers already”

@Satsuma @wallhackio Only one way to find out.

(Alternatively, "You don't have to eat it so much as just unhinge your jaw and inhale it.")

@wallhackio he would eat you if given the chance in order to get at your clod abilities

@Lucy no i would give him some food and then we would become friends :)

@monorail it was supposed to be Kirby but now I cannot unsee this

@wallhackio @monorail the opening to kirby’s adventure but it ends with the “yipee!” sound

@vaporeon_ japan does not have gendered pronouns but the english translations use "he". mostly in japan Kirby has been portrayed as ambiguous or perhaps fluid, and Sakurai has never given an exact gender, but has also used language in one game that is usually said by mascs.

@vaporeon_ canonically Kirby is a lovecraftian god that was supposed to consume the entire universe but was given food as a baby by kind individuals and that has kept Kirby from eating everybody

@wallhackio in japanese it is apparently deliberately ambiguous; the VA even openly endorses the gender ambiguity

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio more that she endorses the ambiguous nature of kirby’s gender. though i think you could accurately describe kirby’s voice as ambiguous youtube.com/watch?v=zHfoGyaDuZ
