Languages don't work very well without pronouns
Tell that to Japanese, you're encouraged to avoid pronouns on it.
But somehow you also have a dozen different "I"s
i think [REDACTED] opinion is wrong. [REDACTED] might not have thought through that this makes [REDACTED] language a bit cumbersome
I find it funny that bigots complain about the pronouns people like to be addressed by and then there's languages like my native one, where anything and everything is gendered. Even a fucking table has a gender, it's not going to be a handful of pronouns that's going to kill you.
Absolute shit-brained take.
Keep talking, you're a perfect example of the way ignorance rots the mind.
