@mcc As if the world hadn't moved on 3 months ago already.

[onelson@mastodon.social]

@mcc you gonna jack it?

[joe@f.duriansoftware.com]

@mcc due to the language laws, shouldn't it be "la bubu"

[mcc@mastodon.social]

@onelson Owen please reflect on your wording and you will understand why I LOLed at this post

[onelson@mastodon.social]

@mcc working as intended

@joe @mcc ...I'm having a surprisingly hard time figuring out what gender French treats Labubu as. I want to say it's male (Le Labubu)?

[mcc@mastodon.social]

France, I know you're reading this, can you let us know what the consensus was on how to gender the Pop Mart branded toy "Labubu" https://mastodon.social/@Video_Game_King/116002418418654351

[lineplus@eldritch.cafe]

@mcc "Un labubu" or "la peluche Labubu" I think, -u is a masculine-sounding sound by default

[ronflaix@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@mcc I'd say masculine/le

[ronflaix@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@mcc but I have always said une GameBoy so my opinion might be controversial.

[lineplus@eldritch.cafe]

@mcc (because the tone is deeper than other vowels that's an implicit instinctive rule though not systematic)

[kamikater@norden.social]

@mcc Lalabubu would sound... interesting.
