Cowbee is a user who makes a lot of comments in discussion and debate threads about socialism and communism. IMO he's extremely patient and gives very detailed explanations/arguments. Some people disagree with him (which is OK, of course), but some of those people are IMO rude and/or dishonest about it. This form is a joke about that.

The correct pronoun is the preferred pronoun.

Using "they" for a singular person has been used since at least the 14th century, so there's no need to feel uncomfortable with it. I highly recommend reading the Wikipedia page on Singular they, which touches on its history.

A similar example is "you." "You" used to be only a plural, with "thou" being the singular, but over time it fell out of fashion and now "you" can be used as singular or plural, like how "they" can be singular or plural.

Singular "they" was criticised by some people hundreds of years after it started being used. But language cannot be prescribed; it is determined by how people use it.
