I have my own opinions but they aren't really important.

Nothing is to be gained with this discourse but hurt feelings and nasty will towards each other.

Pronouns are a third rail issue (an issue that once you touch will cause instant social death).

All joking aside, it's probably not a good topic to talk about on Masto publicly unless you are prepared for the wrath of Hell to come upon you.

No, this thread is not an invitation to fight over your opinion or grandstand.

Don't make enemies over stupid shit, learn from me and don't do what I do.

@esp yeah, that is actually the idea that surfaced after thinking about pronouns a long time. I mean, they are obsolete afterall.

Okay, people, you do not need to be sad or upset that you misinterpreted my words. That happens to everyone and if you apologize that's fine.

Don't be sad about it, please, otherwise I will feel bad.

@Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town Well, I am in a public space here, where do you assume I should "fuck off" to?

Okay, to everyone who did not notice it yet: I think we should make English a gender neutral language; since all pronouns but "they" are obsolete, since grammatical gender in the English language does not exist anymore.

This is not solved if everyone is making up their own pronouns, which is why I oppose the idea of using neopronouns.

@LogicalDash@cybre.space well, okay, I agree with you there! Sorry for the inconvenience.

@LogicalDash@cybre.space and what speaks against me saying "I will refer to you as 'they'"?

Well, I think it does not speak well for the debate culture if I express my opinion and people start calling me an asshole or so

@Elizafox I think people are assuming that I refer to everyone using the pronoun they were assigned to by birth, which I do not.

@AdalwinAmillion Have fun never using pronouns again.
For a polyglot, I expected better of you than for you to make yourself out to be an asshole. Unfortunately, I was mistaken.

@AdalwinAmillion <3

You're not.

People are touchy about this subject. It's a third rail issue.
