Online conservatives are upset that the fantasy action hero He-Man displays “he/him” pronouns in the recently released trailer for the upcoming film Masters of the Universe. Little do they know, some gay fans have long considered He-Man as one of the gayest series of all time.

Approximately 37 seconds into the trailer, it’s revealed that the royal hero from the planet Eternia now works a desk job on Earth, with a nameplate on his desk that reads, “Adam Glenn He/Him.” It’s obviously a joke, since He-Man literally has the pronoun “he” in his name, but conservative commenters on X have blamed the “woke mind virus” for causing the fantasy hero to “[promote] gender/trans ideology.”

One X user, Bennett Production, wrote, “God dam woke mind virus is ruining everything….
You just f**ked up my childhood memory…. He-Man is not a he/him…..you dumb f**kers. He is a bad a** skeleton fighting son of a b**ch that knows he is a man.”

The user may be interested to know that English-speaking men (who know they are men) have been using “he” as a masculine pronoun for over 1,000 years.

Another X user, self-professed Christian @jondelarroz, wrote, “Now they’re making a Masters of the Universe and giving He-man pronouns. These people won’t stop until they ruin everything.” He didn’t explain how a one-second shot of male pronouns ruined an entire feature-length film about a scantily clad, musclebound prince waving a magic sword in a fantasy kingdom.
