Which video did you find this in?

[Neil Gaiman & Queering Media]

What is the problematic line?

[The gender of Nina's partner is deliberately left ambiguous. Lindsay is not, explicitly, Nina's girlfriend. Neil has answered a couple asks about it on Tumblr that this was intentional as it is non-essential to the story how Nina's partner identifies. ]

Where in the video was it used?

["We never meet her partner, but through text messages, we have clear indication that not everything's coming up rosey there. Nina’s girlfriend is so intensely jealous it likely crosses into emotional abuse." and "Nina smartly decides that immediately after a break up is not a good time to get emotionally invested with another woman."]

How would you like to be credited?

l-lyrium is fine

Anything else?

I realize this is petty and nit-picky, but it's technically incorrect, and very ironic because he talks about "partner" being an "apt, genderless descriptor" a few sentences later.
