MODERATORS
in fairness to elon musk pronouns do suck. call me by my first name only
And yet you refer to yourself by pronouns multiple times in that very comment.
"me" & "my" - how very gender-specific ;)
Yea but you'll always need them. I think having too many sucks to keep track of, but other than that I don't care for them
Fixed that for you by respecting AVincentinSpace's preferred (lack of) pronouns.
I think they are using the generic “you”, which is an English grammar phenomenon I think is overused and should often be replaced with “one”, the unambiguously generic pronoun.
genuinely, why do they suck?
the act is disrespectful, to refer to human beings using pronouns; by referring to people using fully qualified names, respect and humility is shown. pronouns are a declaration of war on the attributed creature, as immense inferiority is implied. societies created names with purpose – and to sidestep names is to break the fabric of culture!
that comment was a joke (i personally do not feel that way) but i do know people who have a tough enough time nailing down their gender that none of the options really feel right
