"They" pronoun and NPOV / in-universe POV[edit]

Hi, I understand that in-universe, LaFontaine is "they", but it is massively confusing and plain wrong in English to use a plural for a singular entity, and I don't think it is coherent with a NPOV.

I remember a debate whether or not to use "she" for ships on a talk page (rather than "it"), and it was agreed that sticking to common English usage was NPOV.

I'd suggest "he/she" or (*shrugs*) "it". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.249.246.209 (talk) 09:11, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

'They' is frequently used in English for singular people. For instance: 'if someone rings your doorbell, you won't know what gender they are until you open the door'. Also, I understand Shakespeare uses 'they' as a non-gender specific singular 'they' in The Comedy of Errors (Act IV, scene 3) and other places, so I'd dispute your suggestion that it's 'plain wrong in English'. An increasing number of non-binary people are using 'they' rather than 'he' or 'she' (both of which are fairly inaccurate) and your suggested 'it' (which is dehumanising, though I'm sure no offence was meant). Once again, the singular 'they' is acceptable in English, widely used, and the most accurate and appropriate language to use here. There are plenty more examples on Wikipedia's page on the subject 77.100.152.11 (talk) 13:44, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Using the pronouns, 'they/them' to a person who prefers those pronouns instead of the, 'he/him' or 'she/her' pronouns should be respected because no matter the pronouns, they are still a person. As mentioned 'it' can be very dehumanizing to a person. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jarofawesome23 (talkcontribs) 01:43, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What is single frame?[edit]

The article starts with "Carmilla is a Canadian single frame web series". What is "single-frame"? I do not think it is self-explanatory, especially given googling it does not yield any immediate answeres. Drewdrewdrewdrew (talk) 12:40, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
