Comment on Can someone explain why authors do this?
jnplch@discuss.tchncs.de 10 months agoI tried to look this up and while there were many many results, none of them seemed to really fit with OP’s question, so would you kindly tell us more about the gay Spock problem?

The gay spock problem is when you have two characters interacting who have the same pronouns, and it gets confusing. For example,
Who’s the one speaking? Kirk or Spock?
Likewise, if Alice and Barbara or Adam and Bob are your two example people, you’ll run into the gay spock problem.

Thank you for your explanation. Google gave me a lot of insight into a lot of things and none had to do with this problem. :D
