Etymology
"Ender" and "endr" in endergender, enderian, endrien, and genderender come from the word "enderman", the name of the mob in Minecraft this gender is based on.[1]
The "-ien" and "-ian" in enderian and endrien likely come from the English suffix "-ian", which is added to geographical names to indicate provenance or membership[2], and/or the English suffix "-en", which is added to nouns to create adjectives of source[3].
"Vwoop" in vwoopgender comes from the in-game onomatopoeia of the sounds endermen make.[4]
Pronunciation
Endrien: End-ryuhn
Genderender: jEn-durh-End-urh
Vwoopgender: v-wOOp-jEn-durh
Definitions
- A subsect of Gamegender that is influenced and/or associated by the game Minecraft. It is a fluid gender that feels as if its “teleporting” rapidly and is never in one place. It sometimes picks up chunks from other genders to use for itself before dropping them and moving on. - nebularomantic and thepancherryblossom, 2018[5]
- Endrien is influenced by neurodivergency or a kinship with Endermen. This gender can be accompanied by other labels such as Agender, Genderfluid, ETC. This gender is not specifically for neurodivergent people, but is for those people who have a difficult relationship with gender in general. The pronouns used by Endrien people do not have to be related to them. But you can use Endermen or void-like pronouns in association. - NimadIsAway (previously Wormiphobic, cattlerabbit), 2020[6][7]
