Between drag and the person talking in thorns, lemmy has been fun to read lately. Y'all ain't hurting anyone, anyone has a problem with it they can just mute and move on.
Legit question that my comment made me think of, though - what are drag's feelings on pronouns like "y'all" - see also "you guys" etc?
Edit: mulling it over, I think "y'all" only felt initially weird to me because I was equating it to "they", but "they" has two uses - one to refer to a single person without gendering, and one to refer to a group of many people. "Y'all" in this case would be the equivalent of the second, not really the first.
Idk, language is hard, just fuckin get along.
Y'all and they refer to a group of people. Drag's pronouns don't change the group's pronouns. Just like if someone in the group uses she/her, that doesn't change the group's pronouns. A group could be all women who all use she/her, and the group would still use they/them.
Yeah, that seems to be the conclusion I reached. I think the singular they and the plural they was messing with me hah.
That one is language dependent though
The thorn person is messing with my head, I'm not a native English speaker yet I can read them perfectly
