An edit war is underway on Wikipedia between good traditional Americans and the cultural marxist, post-modern nihilists who want to destroy America.
“Destroy how?” you may ask. By relabeling Garfield’s gender as “gender fluid” on Wikipedia. Yep, the social justice cabal wants to turn a high T man like Garfield into a genderless, progressive blob.
As of publication, the God-fearing patriots are winning, with Garfield’s Wikipedia page still labeling him a man, but multiple gender warriors are trying to change that.
The debate in the edit logs are fierce. Those who believe Garfield is a boy point to the many times he was referred to by male pronouns in the comics. Those who think he is actually xir (I’m just guessing as I don’t know what his pronoun would be) point to a past statement by the comic strip’s creator, Jim Davis, stating that Garfield is neither a girl or a boy.
“Dealing with eating and sleeping, being a cat, Garfield is very universal,” Davis told Mental Floss in 2014. “By virtue of being a cat, really, he’s not really male or female or any particular race or nationality, young or old. It gives me a lot more latitude for the humor for the situations.”
If Garfield was changed to gender fluid, the pronouns of the entire Wikipedia article would have to change, either to they/them or some niche pronouns decided upon by the Wikipedia community. Absolute madness.
The debate began on Twitter, where godless socialist blogger Virgil Texas sought to unthread the fabric of American values by turning one of pop culture’s most iconic men into a gender fluid abomination.
“FACT: Garfield has no gender. This. Is. Canon,” he wrote, instigating a lengthy thread.
Texas even admitted to changing Garfield’s gender to “none” on Wikipedia, thus sparking the edit war.
Many responded to Texas’ claims pointing to the Garfield straight to DVD movie Garfield’s Pet Force, in which Garfield is portrayed as a ripped superhero, with a unmistakably male body.
Texas responded to his critics on Twitter by asserting that Pet Force was not canon.
When asked by Heat Street to comment, he responded *tolerantly* with, “Go f**k yourself and your s***head libertarian website.”
But there are multiple other examples from the original comic strip which do provide references of Garfield’s male gender. Compiled by the Wikipedia user DrCliche, the mountain of evidence is irrefutable, even to post modern degenerates like Texas.
Exhibit A: Garfield had an alternate persona named Amoeba man in the comics.
Exhibit B: Garfield refers to himself in 1979 as a “boy cat” and a bachelor, subtly passing sympathies to the MGTOW(Men Going Their Own Way) movement.
Exhibit C: Garfield in 1983 fantasizes about a heterosexual marriage to the girl cat Arlene followed by procreation, then refers to himself as a “lousy father,” furthering the subversive MGTOW messaging.
The evidence for Garfield’s gender is as incontrovertible as it is self evident. How could a cat reach such levels of fame and professional success in the 70s and 80s without a firm adherence to one of the two genders? Garfield obviously lacks the rock star charisma of David Bowie to even dream of pulling that look off. Keep dreaming cultural marxists, Garfield will always be a rugged, heterosexual American MAN (who goes his own way).
