    In case you’re actually interested, NB as an umbrella term is pointedly not restrictive.

    A common misconception is that it’s the traditional third-option to M/F, like neuter or gender-neutral, but it’s usually more about flouting the rules of gender than avoiding gender expression entirely.

    For example, I’m gender non-conformist, a type of non-binary. I tend to borrow gender expression indiscriminately and switch it up when it gets boring. Subtle forms of gender rebellion are my cup of tea, but I don’t care about pronouns, as long as it’s clear you’re referring to me, and I never changed my name (tbf, I got lucky with a unisex name). In short, you can’t really misgender me.

    So yes, in theory Yakko can easily be the NB Warner Brother. He could just wear dresses or makeup in some episodes and be considered demonstrably NB, but even that isn’t a strict requirement.
