@nyquildotorg critically you can make ungendered language sound cooler, it mostly involves not thinking like a centrist politician

@nyquildotorg "we have summoned the snow people" > "we made snowmen"
"my house is surrounded by the snow people" > "there are snowmen in my yard"

@nyquildotorg Snowmen in the general case is an interesting predicament, because on one hand male-is-default is problematic, but on the other hand I agree that Snowperson is excessively politically correct especially considering that the reason young girls can never grow up to be Snowmen is not because of sexism but because they are embodied in flesh and are not made of snow.
However, I would like to point out that "the snow people" sounds mysterious and exciting.

I am going to try this variant next time I play Werewolf, and see how it plays out.

The players on this show mentioned some of their information sources: who talks to whom, who avoids others, who accuses whom, who votes against whom. Stephen Fry even mentioned how Traitors have to stay up later than everyone else -- very useful! Surprisingly, they never used this info, and unsurprisingly they got beat.

@nyquildotorg man-in-the-middle is fine because that's not a profession or an identity category. Superman is a fictional character who as far as I am aware has a straightforward masculine gender identity, so using gendered words for him is appropriate. Superman is not a profession or an identity category. Same applies to Frosty the Snowman in specific.
