Just saw someone with "use whatever pronouns you use for yourself for me" in bio. I honestly never considered the depth the pronoun metagame could have, we've barely scratched the surface with this shit

"I activate Pot of HRT, which allows me to draw two new pronouns from my deck."

    Dude just wait until I show you nested genders, or Gender View ViewGender models. Gene was right, though he was just trying to sell merch.

    My pronouns are

    function getPronouns() {
        const dateNow = new Date();
    
        if(dateNow.getMonth()===3 && dateNow.getDate()===1) {
            return "clown/clownself";
        }
        else {
            const day = dateNow.getDate();
            if(day%3 === 0) {
                return "they/them";
            }
            else if(day%5 === 0) {
                return "she/her";
            }
            else if(day%7 === 0) {
                return "he/him";
            }
            else {
                return "void/voidself";
            }
        }
    }
    
    console.log(getPronouns());
    

    Please run this code in your browser console before interacting with me to determine my pronouns at that point in time.

    But why would I use third-person pronouns when interacting with you?

    unnecessary else after if with a return statement

    But I use I/me pronouns for myself. That'll get confusing real quick.

    i have yet to encounter pronouns as cool as recursive pronouns

    The pronouns changing every time they are used comes close though

    I’ve heard ‘any pronoun stated respectfully’

    I liked the way Leslie Feinberg put it:

    I care which pronoun is used, but people have been respectful to me with the wrong pronoun and disrespectful with the right one. It matters whether someone is using the pronoun as a bigot, or if they are trying to demonstrate respect.

    Lol mirror/your pronouns is a selection hexbear has

  • source
  • [–] 17 points 7 months ago

    Order all pronoun sets by how frequently you think they are applied to me, then choose the second most frequent. That set is today's pronouns.

    I get very angry if you are wrong.

    This kind of people are really precious. If you can find some that synergize well with each other you can get a lot of mult.

    I am pro anti-nouns.

    Meaning that I may or may not like you, depending on how/what you parse that statement to mean.

    I'm doing My part! I use capitalised pronouns, like I, Me, You, They, She, and It.

    I like to say my pronouns are whatever I look like to you.

    I’m afraid it will be interpreted as mean though but I really don’t mind.
