It’s part of the fun

The new voice actor for Mario and Luigi in the next game, Kevin Afghani, afaik a cis man has … drumroll please … he/him pronouns in his twitter bio. They’re literally whining about a cis man using male pronouns.

Why though? The water should dilute it more and change the color, especially with some american toilet bowls, because some water levels are insane.

Dumb question: is this referencing the color in the toilet bowl, when diluted with water? If so, how much water, because different kind of bowls can have very different amounts of water. Or pure?

Im sorry, but what this person told you is untrue though. A noun retains its gender in whatever declination it is, however, articles often double up within the german declination system. And it just happens to be that the plural definite article for nouns of all genders is “die”, which is also the nominative singular definite article for feminine nouns. But the article never determines the gender of the noun, the gender of the noun determines which article to use. It’s just sometimes, the article looks like looks like another article already used for something else. That’s why every school book and german learning course tells you to put the noun in nominative singular before trying to tell the gender.

All plural nouns are not female im german.

They just happen to use “die” as their definite article when they are nominative, which doubles up as the feminine article for fem. nominative. But they by no means “change” their grammatical gender. Within the german declination system, articles are very often reused for different cases. That does never change the gender of the noun.

Just like saying “der Frau” in genitiv singular does not make Frau a masculine noun, saying “die Männer” in nominative plural does not make Männer a feminine noun.
