also I'm gonna have to agree saying 'clearly/obviously not human' instead of decidedly would generally just make it flow better and make more sense : )

i think the wording about "decidedly not" is a bit confusing - could i suggest using a more common word like "clearly" or "obviously"? unless you mean as in you're gonna decide case by case...

Given that no one has misunderstood or asked what decidedly means, I think the wording is fine, unless you're confused of course, in which case I can explain it to you.
Clearly is a synonym with decidedly, so I don't quite get your last sentence, as even with that wording it would be a case of decision if someone posts a grey area look.

nah i just wanted to point out the fact it's not a commonly used word in this context (and showed a way it can be misunderstood having the word "decide" in it) + i personally think using more common words is better for overall reading comprehension especially on a site that has a mostly non-native english speaking userbase. but it was only a suggestion

I'm sorry, but I'm gonna hard disagree with your logic here, for the very simple reason that the first result when you google "what is monster romance" is using the exact same wording I'm using:

I think obviously sounds condescending in this context, while I, as someone who had a whole class on precise language when I studied law and had contract law, hate the word "clearly", for the very simple reason that it's actually not that clear what human-passing actually entails if you dive down in it.

Jo
they/them
Kind of shy
Born as the only child of a bancrupt noble family, which made them appreciate the little things in life and work for their goals, Jo lived about 200 years in a rundown mansion somewhere in nowhere. Now they want more in their life than just getting by and therefore decided to travel the world, looking for their soulmate. They get angry when someone uses terms like "you see" "see you later" and so on- then they start to drool. They have a habit of flicking their hair if they are annoyed. Even though it doesn't look like it, they spend an awful amount of time caring for their teeth.
They love romantic stuff (like roses, candles, love letters...) and classical music
Favourte foods are detailed decorated cakes and cupcakes (it just tastes better when it's pretty - same for everyone!)
Favourite drink is anything hot and bitter
Their biggest wish is to find their soulmate and eventually getting married.

All my friends call me a bleeding heart, and they're probably right.
I like long walks on the beach, romantic dinners, and romcoms.
My favourite drink is B-. If you buy me a drink I will absolutely fall in love with you; don't say I didn't warn you!
Hoping to find someone serious who knows what love is.
If you're just going to break my heart, go ahead and swipe left!
