Influenced By and Influence Of

It's probably worth noting that Jhonen Vasquez's work with Invader Zim had an influence on Rebecca Sugar when she was younger. There's an archive of some of her fan fiction from the early 2000s. I wonder what else influenced her or who she has influenced? --Bushido Hacks (talk) 19:02, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pronouns

I was wondering, so I checked. According to the bio currently at the top of https://twitter.com/rebeccasugar, "She/her or they/them, thank you for caring!" --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:51, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(I'm just commenting to draw attention to this observation, which is still accurate, since I see edits changing it back-and-forth some more. Not all non-binary people use they.) -sche (talk) 19:47, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't see this comment when I reverted back to "she" yesterday, and now I have it is clear the subject is happy with either form. However, the reference used in the article to support the fact that she identifies as non-binary uses "she". Dorsetonian (talk) 20:45, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If someone uses both they and she, use both interchangeably. It's not hard. Shardok (talk) 08:23, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Rebecca Sugar is a non-binary woman.

Rebecca Sugar is a non-binary woman, and is the not only the first woman, but the first non-binary person in history to independently create a series for Cartoon Network. Those are two impressive moments in her history and to only mention one is partially erasing history. It doesn't matter what Rebecca publicly identified as during the show's creation, she came out because she wanted people to know who she is. She based her gems, from creation, to be nonbinary women like herself. To only give her half the credit is erasing history. The first person to be openly non-binary during a show's creation will not be the first non-binary person to independently create a series for the network, it will always be Rebecca Sugar. That is a fact, and it deserves to be known. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cultrocknroll (talk • contribs) 13:17, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly, but we do not have a source stating this. We only have a source for the "first woman to..." aspect, not for the "first nonbinary person to ..." aspect. To avoid WP:OR, we must not draw unpublished, novel conclusions. Sandstein 13:25, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree here with Sandstein. If we can find a reliable source that mentions her being the first nonbinary person to create a series for CN, then this should be updated, but right now, the best source says "woman".--Gen. Quon (Talk) 19:47, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I also agree with Sandstein, along with the additional comment they made in the edit history: "this wrongly implies that there were binary women who had [d]one this before, which is not the case". Dorsetonian (talk) 08:20, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Emmy nominations

So Steven Universe was just nominated for another Emmy, and so someone quite sensibly increased the number of nominations Sugar has received from five to six. One problem though: the cited source, the Emmys website, still lists only five nominations for Rebecca Sugar. Is there a way to handle this? Do we just have to say, well, Steven Universe was nominated for a sixth Emmy, but Rebecca Sugar herself wasn't, because that's what the Emmy Awards website says? AJD (talk) 21:06, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the late delay, but it looks like the site lists the sixth nom.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 14:27, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
