I consider myself pretty progressive and am friends with nothing but progressives. And lots of people in the LGBTQ+ community. This is the first time I’ve ever seen someone want to have their second-person pronouns changed… It does not make communication easy.
Comment on Civilization VI: Just another knowledge check 4X game
SwineBearingViolence@vegantheoryclub.org 2 months agoUse it/its and not you/your, please. its heard Stellaris has great narrative elements but it’s very hard to play in a reasonable amount of time and there’s some balance issues that can make competition feel really unfair. Maybe will still get around to it some day.

I’ve never seen some specify that they want different second person pronouns, but hey new things every day.

It doesn’t really make any sense since first and second person pronouns aren’t gendered. When I refer to “you” it means “whoever I’m talking to” without implying anything about the person or persons other than that I intend my message for them. There’s just no reason to change that. Not “no good reason” but “no reason”.

They even refer to themselves as ‘it’ in the first person, which just breaks comprehensibility entirely if you don’t already know what they’re talking about.

y’know, when people started getting snippy about pronouns, I often said I was just going to start calling them an “it”.
I never thought someone would want that.

Was going to say how absurd and difficult to understand those pronouns are, and how they make communication very unclear.
But fuck it

Especially when they aren’t even using its vs it’s properly
