eh i agree ig

Yeah i completely agree. Basic pronouns like I, me, my, this, they, he, she, it , i understand but just neos like catself or treeself just seem like nicknames not pronouns.

yeah i feel that @_@
i hear the whole argument that english is always changing, but realistically not everybody is gonna change their language for other people,
especially when that change is taking words that have served a specific purpose for decades and suddenly completely changing their usage.
neopronouns seem overall pretty harmless as just another silly little subculture,
but i'll be damned if they're ever successfully integrated into society outside of the internet

@CoNN13Killz: i'm obviously not counting on anybody to remember them all ?? i just put the ones that i use the most and the ones that i feel most comfortable with in the moment in my bio so people know. :/

@Spectator: idk about grammar shit but they do sound a little funny in a sentence but that could be that i am not very used 2 them yet

@Cliff_Burton: i just think that having 50 sets is madness honestly because no one will remember them or use most of them

@Spectator: doesnt matter. the english language is always changing happy a lot of words were made up in the shakeperian era (most made by the man himself!!) i asked my english techer the same thing and he just said that english always changes and as long as ppl are comfy, who cares?

interesting take but you also have to consider the fact that if you never use pronouns you're literally just saying the person's name constantly and, while i can fully understand people who don't use any pronouns (you're valid !!!), constantly saying the same name over and over can be tiring and just overall excessive. i don't mind it all, though! it's good practice for a person who doesn't use any pronouns at all.

i do get where youre coming from though and i understand it; a lot of different neos can very easily sound like names. i use over 50 sets and even my friends think my neos are one of my names because of how the sets are. smug
