Talk:Snuffy

About her Nationality
Wouldn't it be better to refer to her as an American VTuber instead of an English VTuber? Yes, she is English-speaking, but referring to her as "English," and not indicating anywhere in the article that she's from America creates confusion. While referring to her as American indicates both her nationality and language; if someone is listed as American, then unless stated otherwise, the common consensus is to assume they're English-speaking. Due to these reasons, I believe this to be a much better introduction to the article. Slybirdz (talk) 06:03, 7 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I will disagree with your suggestion and I am unsure on how stating Snuffy speaks English creates confusion. Is Snuffy the VTuber American or the person behind Snuffy American? The reason I disagree is to not second guess someone's language based on their nationality. For example, its like me saying that since x person is Mexican, so they must speak Spanish. Is that necessarily true all the time, well not always. Also it is preferred to state what language they speak rather than state their nationality. MCPopFan (talk)


 * When you refer to someone as "English," you are implying they're British. That's where the confusion comes in. Snuffy is American. If you don't want to list her nationality for whatever reason, then writing "English-speaking VTuber" is better than writing "English VTuber." I however, *do* want her nationality to be included in the article. The best way to do this would either be to include nationality in the list under her picture that has all her other personal details, or start the article by saying "American VTuber."
 * It's fine to write "American VTuber" instead of "English-speaking American VTuber" because English is the language spoken by the overwhelming majority of the United States. In your response above, you wrote about a hypothetical in which a VTuber is from Mexico, but does not speak Spanish. In this scenario we would write "English-speaking Mexican VTuber" because the reader would assume they are a Spanish speaker if only "Mexican VTuber" was written.
