The Jeopardy quiz show is being absolutely obliterated after a video was posted showing the 60-year-old gameshow incorporating made up pronouns in one of its questions, angering users on X not only because of the leftist, progressive topic, but the head-nod to a complete delusion.

If you don’t know how Jeopardy works, there are six categories from which players pick. The categories each then consist of five choices ranging from $200 to $1,000, and include "answers" for which the contestant has to provide the correct question. Usually, the level of difficulty increases with the increase of prize money earned.

The clip, which now has over a million views, shows the lead contestant selecting “Parts of Speech” for $600, indicating a mid-ish level question.

“Xem, Xyrs, Xemself” pops up on the screen. Then the contestant answers with the question: “What are pronouns?”

“Those are pronouns, neopronouns” the host, Ken Jennings, said with a congratulatory tone in his voice, as if this sort of question was completely normal.

In response to the clip from Monday’s show, people were outraged.

Libs of TikTok shared the clip and wrote, “you can now win money for affirming mental illness.” Another insisted that the contestant should have asked, “What is a mental illness?” Others said he should have asked, “What is the land of make-believe?” or “What is indoctrination?” or even “What’s attention-seeking behavior?

Another user posted this:

Dear #Jeopardy:

"Xem, xyers, and xemself" are made-up nonsense words.

You evidently have a radical social activist using Neo-Marxist Newspeak writing for you.

I suggest you stick to reality. It's just "she" and "he" from the moment of conception & forever.

When Alex Trebek, the original Jeopardy host, died in 2020, many of us knew the show was going to go south. But putting up delusions and accepting them as something that’s “normal” is a new low for Jeopardy.
