Bye-bye Mr. Moonman ... Hello Moon Person!
In keeping with some new changes at the network, MTV is doing away with the gendered VMA trophy, lovingly called the "Moonman," in favor of a gender-free space traveler, which will be henceforth known as the "Moon Person."
In an interview with the New York Times, MTV's president Chris McCarthy said that, in addition to getting rid of the gendered categories at the 2017 MTV Movie Awards and upcoming 2017 MTV VMAs, winners would be taking home the gender neutral figure.
In the interview, McCarthy said, "Why should it be a man? It could be a man, it could be a woman, it could be transgender, it could be nonconformist."
Viewers will be able to see the updated trophy at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards, which will air live from The Forum in Inglewood, Calif. on Sunday, August 27 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
Pretty sure the Apollo astronauts were all men.
I'm sure someone will suggest that at least one of them was a closeted tranny.
mtv is still relevant??
NASA was racist. Surprised they didn't a black astronaut to the dark side of the moon. /s
Where words can mean anything, they can also mean nothing.
Indeed, ‘person’ ends in ‘son’, which is male and therefore obstructive (if not hateful) to gender equality. ‘Perbeing’ might be preferred.
How about just Freakish Moon Pies?
Nevermind.
There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it’s all dark.
Thanks for the info.
I’ll make sure to update my “Stuff to Avoid” list.
“There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it’s all dark.”
Don’t know what Roger ( help me I am an idiot) Waters was saying.
Uh oh.
o.O
How ‘bout just “perv”?
lunatics
Ya, kind of how liberals like to replace the word “mankind” with “humanity”.
But huMANity has the word “man” embedded in it. So that should offend liberals. It should be “huWOMANity”.
I’m hopelessly out of it and will be sent to re-education camp or worse, if there’s ever a revolution in this country. I can only name a handful of gender identities, but I understand that there are something like 56 such identities discovered so far.
Then we know you will be sanctioned if you use the wrong gender pronoun; if you just assume someone appearing to be a man is really a man and identifies as a man.
You got it right.

No one will notice because no one will be watching.
