I made a theme for myself (a 20 year old guy) a few months back and figured I’d publish it, now it’s on the front page of the theme store under ‘for girls’. Not sure whether to be proud or worried.

Hey, I appreciate themes in the “For Girls” category the most, so I guess I’m a girl now!
Are you sure you’re a guy? I think xiaomi knows you better than yourself ^/s
It’s pretty stupid that they genderize that kind of abstract things. So unnecessary.
Looks great, now all u need is a xiaomi phone
As a Chinese myself, I just think that in China, these social issues everyone obsesses over in North America, are really not prevalent or even issues.
I would think it’s more of a cultural perception than anything.
It looks pretty nice! You should be proud, at least now you know you can seduce people using theming powers
Ikr. Like, I think themes should have just categories like colors, nature, animals, etc. Some girls like cars and stuff like that, and some boys like cartoons like the popsicle shown in the image, or pastel colors.
Edit: Why the heck are you being downvoted? Lmao
Fuck genders! What do you use to make themes? Is there a specific software?
/rant What theme app ? Oh right fuck off xiaomi for removing the theme app in europe “because of GDPR”
I have been using the icons of this themes for a few months
Proud, definitely proud
Wait they did? I still have it
Girls usually have good taste sooooo….
Themes don’t have a gender lol
/r/pointlesslygendered
Hahaha! So any Chinese guy would have no issues rocking and recommending that the in China? It’s not just the U.S by the way. It’s most developed countries, think the EU etc.
There’s a specific mi designer thing you have to register for, it’s a big compliicated mess. Used Photoshop for the actual design, would probably use illustrator, now
Had xiaomi phones all my life 😉
I’d love to see what you mean done with it, I was never fully happy with it
>would have no issues rocking and recommending that the in China
Maybe my English is not good, but I really don’t understand this. Care to explain? Thanks
lol, you girl.
on a serious note, it actually looks nice 🙂 speaking as a boy
That’s a different theme, mine is on the left
Nice theme! Don’t worry about the gendering of it, they are arbitrary.
HAHAHAHAHA YOU GAY!
I’m just kidding. Congrats.
They’re asking whether it is considered ethical or not to recommend the same behaviour (genderizing everything) 😛
Oh, alright, thank you. What I am saying is, that assume you have one westerner and one Chinese. If both were asked to divide the themes into gender categories, the Chinese will probably just do it without much thought, whereas the westerner may take offense due to ideological or otherwise reasoning, usually as a result of exposure to this questioning in western culture.
I meant me, how is xiaomi when it comes to rooting
Yep on the latest stable/beta ROMs in France, Spain and Germany at least
Oh, actually very easy, if you flash the china beta rom it is already rooted 🙂 otherwise you can root it how you would any other android and it performs no slower
\>I made a theme for myself (a 20 year old guy)
Why do you thought it was necessary to mention your age?
EU isn’t as hung up on gender as the US is.
Yeee, now i use it 🙂
You can simply change the region and then download themes.
Yeah I know, and no that’s not a real fix..
link? :d
Indeed. Here in México, nobody seems to care about these things, and those that do are almost never taken seriously.
I’m guessing that first-world countries always create themselves problems of this nature – the USA even more so. No offense.
I’m kn china beta so I downloaded a patch that changes my region to india. If you’re on global, change your region in the settings 🙂
Here’s a theme I thought you might like: Paper! Link: http://zhuti.xiaomi.com/detail/bee97891-b58c-477a-8924-e8fff9e1bf6d
you go “girl”! AHAHAH
Congratz for the achiv 😀
I have seen so many guys in China with Peppa Pig T-shirt and plush so I guess they don’t care at all.
