Why does comrade, the most powerful pronoun, not simply eat the other pronouns?
Because as evidenced in that thread, most people do not deserve that honorific.
Exactly my point, we eat them.
None of these terminally online mfers has ever had to deal with being in a room with three dozen trans people and five dozen neopronouns. You can't come up with a take like "pronoun tags are transphobic" if you've ever gone outside and met random trans strangers, ofc you need to introduce pronouns in some way in such a setting when there is a normal number of nonbinary people present and ofc nobody does that with a pronoun circle when it's not one of these awkward self help group things where anybody is already sitting in a circle and has to do an awkward introduction, which is one of a grand total of two situations irl where i've ever been in a pronoun circle. That's in spite of me hanging out with queer people constantly. And somehow, i do not run around constantly misgendering all the nonbinary people i know. The only way to have this kind of conversation in the first place is when you do not have to look the person you're having it with in the face.
The same goes for the reply-hungry weirdo who doesn't know any gender neutral ways to adress people besides using they / them pronouns. If you want to refer to somebody in an actually gender neutral way, you use the name or say "the person" if you do not know the name. It's not hard. It's as if that person has never met anybody who actually doesn't use pronouns. Like, this site is full of people who have none / use name as a pronoun tag. This entire post was written without a single third person pronoun. How can people be this dense?

who have none / use name as a pronoun tag

:smuglord: Ackshually, you used pronouns as examples, so your entire argument is invalid
In the main country of my conworld, the federal lingua franca has gendered pronouns in the first, second, and third persons, and the language is otherwise moderately to heavily gendered with the tendency being that the amount of gender in one's speech corresponds to formality.
Now on the one hand this can be absolute hell for trans people for obvious reasons, especially for those in the closet.
Then on the other hand, you don't really get this type of pronoun discourse, or it's at least not nearly as prevalent, because the moment someone says the equivalent to "me" you can just figure out how thon likes to be referred to. Which tends to be pretty quickly in a conversation since the word for "hello" literally means "I prayed".
How could one misgender someone if they're speaking directly to them? 2nd person (you) doesn't have a gender. Dumbass question.
If it's speaking in 3rd person, it could be a fair enough question, not everyone speaks English well and with dumbass boomers meming about pronouns there's some uncertainty out there, which means one might not realise we just use the word "they" for people we don't know the gender of and we have been doing this for centuries.
"Someone lost ____ umbrella, would you give it to the lost&found so ____ can retrieve it, should ____ come looking?"
Fill in the gaps
that construction is why we invented pronouns and it's kinda clunky to not use them (and we should suck up the clunkiness if someone is none/use name)
Yeah I'm really happy we have pronouns, I was moreso talking about IRL stuff. I always bring up that phrase as an example when boomer family members complain about pronouns
"Someone lost an umbrella, would you give it to the lost&found so the loser can retrieve it, should the umbrella-less clod come looking?"
Rude, but completely genderless
now that im sober im realizing this should probably be cw'd and nsfw tagged for misgendering discussion
Catboy ended up deleting his account.
Also put up a CW out of abundance of caution. This whole thing has been so stupid.
What is the worst thread on the bearsite?
probably the outdoor cat one? idk
