[MTV president Chris] McCarthy also incorporated TV into the annual movie awards and made the acting categories gender neutral. Likewise, when the Video Music Awards are handed out next month, winners will walk away with a trophy that will now be called the Moon Person — not the Moonman. “Why should it be a man?” Mr. McCarthy said. “It could be a man, it could be a woman, it could be transgender, it could be nonconformist.”

Desperately seeking relevance, irrelevant network renames irrelevant award to suck up to SJWs.

It's a fricking piece of metal and plastic. Nonconformist? Is this guy retarded?

Next step: Oscar winners are notified in advance so it can be determined if the winner wishes to win an Oscar, Oscette, or Oszir

I get having acting categories be gender neutral (why have separate man and woman's category in the first place), but splitting hairs over the word moonman is MTV trying to seem relevant again and the bit about it being something other than man or woman is...well, insane to be honest.

Except for the fact that every single person who has set foot on the moon was a white male.

I think this guy is a true piece of shite. No matter what he calls it, he isn't letting this inanimate object choose its own name and designation.
