Help[Opinions] Re: Basically, switch genders.
in reply to a message by Korento_Klarinetti
Antigone is a female character from a Greek tragedy (I forget if it's Eschylus, Euripides or Sophocles right now). It's like wanting to use Ophelia or Juliet on a boy.

For crying out loud...
I agree completely with Murasaki here.
Using Antigone on a boy makes one seem ignorant. Granted, traditionally established gender rules have never bound you, Sabrina, but since Antigone is a firm part of literary and mythological (yes, Greek mythology...) tradition, it just makes you look stupid. Sorry.
(It's Sophocles. I played the messenger and Ismene's understudy when my university performed it.)

I never said I'd use it on a boy. I asked what you thought of it on a girl or boy. Just because I ask about something or like it on a boy (or girl if it's the opposite)doesn't mean I'd use it actually use on one.
The person Korento made me think of it on a guy, so I thought I'd ask.
Honestly? If I didn't even look it up I'd guess boy anyways it looks masculine.
That's neat about how you were the understudy, and in the play.
Sorry if I sounded rude, but I admit what you said kind of irked me. I felt your comment was good enough explaining how it looked ignorant due to your explination without that "stupid" comment. I get the point.

Don't misinterpret me here. I said makes you look stupid, which is a far cry from saying you are stupid. Wearing a really big ugly hat "looks stupid" but again does not make an actual judgement of your intelligence. I didn't mean to offend.
Given the prn, I think it sounds more feminine anyway.
