Text and/or other creative content from this version of Varien was copied or moved into Varien discography with this edit. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

Not sure if it was discussed here, but I think the used pronouns for Varien should be revised. The Twitter link in the article's page notice has expired. Spotify and Monstercat Wiki refer to the subject using he/him. The Instagram profile[1] also now displays "he/him" in the bio.

If this was already revised, then I apologise for my ignorance. 144.122.18.41 (talk) 23:30, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

144.122.18.41, do you have archive evidence of the profiles that show that this is a recent change? AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 17:17, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

YouTube still reads as Nikki and uses she/her in the About section. https://www.youtube.com/@varienofficial/about but no videos have been posted since 2021. Are there newer social media updates? Also instagram deactivated according to this tweet: https://twitter.com/variendarkboi/status/1589014325771251714 AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 02:28, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

His Spotify and the Monstercat wiki both indicate a swap back to he/him pronouns 2601:195:4180:7D0:F862:F272:F17B:EAA0 (talk) 01:23, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Their Spotify uses both male and female pronouns: better known by his stage name Varien; she has set the bar while she was there. userdude 22:31, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Their website uses "he", their Instagram has "he/him", and their Twitter handle has changed from variendarkgirl to variendarkboi. Their YouTube video announcing their transition has also apparently been removed [2]. It seems like Varien is using he/him pronouns again. Pinging @Inertia666: who seems to have a connection to Varien. userdude 04:33, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
