Remember when steam silently added pronouns to steam? I remember. I seem to have been one of the only people to have noticed this. Nothing on the /v/ archive. I remember a time when steam referred to a user as "him or her". But now everyone is a they.
Nobody cares or notices things of zero importance except for autists
>>719471189>let me find some obscure shit to be mad aboutgo outside anon, seriously, none of this shit matters
>>719471279>>719471380>stop noticing thingsno
>>719471189it is objectively easier to refer to people you don't know anything about as "they" than "his or her". It's simply a less clumsy way of speaking and you are a autistic faggot brainwashed by retarded faggots
so, just so we're on the same page, 'his' and 'her' are NOT pronouns?
>september 12 2020>steam went woke
>>719471482You're addicted to being mad anon, stop it
>>719472463You cant force me to stop noticing things.
>>719472553This isn't worth noticing, find something more important.
>>719471189>it looks like everyone wants us to change this, so we'll change itMaybe if you retarded chuds weren't the """silent majority""" people wouldn't be shitting on you reclusive fucks all the time. Take the """high road""" and let the screeching banshees force change on you I guess, but don't cry about it afterwards.
>>719471690>>719471949>objectively easiernot really, it's about the same letters. now you may say that, but there was a big push for "they" and gaslighting that it's natural. Yet, Steam used him/her. It means they thought it was natural to do so, and in fact, the other was awkward for sharing meaning with plural, and wasn't really common. Did a book at the time do the whole 'they' thing? You wouldn't find it in the wild unless you digged hard, what was natural to do then? Apparently, his/her since Steam used it. It felt more natural for the Steam writer to do that, despite a few more letters, you can't say it's that much more easy. But ((they)) try to pretend it wasn't awkward, and it was always this way, when in fact, it needed a big push until everyone acceded and went along since it doesn't matter. It's weird to pretend it didn't happen.How is this important?It's. not. That is a trivial issue.The truth is out there.
>added pronounsisn't it opposite. they removed pronouns
>>719472591Steam is evil
>>719473109Macaco.
>>719472880>it's about the same letters>his or her (10 characters incl whitespace)>their (5 characters)No need to read the rest of your post, you're a genuine retard.
>>719471189>removing something = adding somethingprofoundly low-iq
>>719473207Not all of us can be a NPC like yourself. To reject newspeak is to be a human being. Im not going to accept evil into my life. Thats just not the way it works.
Go outside. Go to a gym. Stop posting here. You're retarded
>>719471690>word with one meaning gets the exact opposite meaning tacked on>less clumsy>implying"why did you send 5 ambulances? when i said they were injured i only meant 1 person"
>>719473862>Retarded hyperbole Yep. This is /v/
“His or her” is three words. “Their” is one. Brevity is the soul of wit.
Remember when Valve lied to their community and abandoned a game in development?Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.
>>719474026Shut up.
>>719472553
>>719473285>+3 characters (not incl. whitespace)>'his' and 'her' individually shorter and flows well>alternative shorter but awkward>problem w/ plural
>>719473956It's perfectly reasonable. But you can't actually refute it so you try to dismiss it with mockery and failed bullying instead.>>719473968"dimwit" also describes your post in one word, but I bet you'd appreciate it if a reason for said "dimwit" was given.
>>719473862i like this hyperbole. Can you elaborate? What kind of a sentence could possibly be constructed to result in this outcome?
Only an insufferable english teacher insists on using "his or her" instead of their. It's been deemed okay for decades. Stop clinging to this shit.
>>719474349Actually you're supposed to use the masculine pronoun when referring to a person of unknown gender.
>>719474252Help! Car crash! They flew through the windshie- connection lost in the chaos/phone dropped/whatever.Clear and concise communication is key. It's not clear and concise if I have to explain how a simple sentence is to be interpreted.>>719474349>everyone's totes been using it nonstop for decades! millennia even!You have to make it seem plausible if your job is to gaslight. It gets a minor resurgence every now and then, but it keeps going out of use because it's stupid and impractical.
>>719474251Why waste my breath about your retard hypothetical that will never happen in reality?
>>719474554Great example. Had the 'correct' pronoun been used, would the emergency services send equipment to only take care of one person? Or would they send far more, given the context of the call - it being interrupted and panicked?
Video games?
>>719474659Concession accepted.>>719474703That wasn't the point. You asked for a situation where it could happen. Put the goalposts back where you found them.
>>719474785>Pretend you won.jpg
>>719474554>>719474703actually, since I love how you locked yourself into a dead end, what does it have to do with 'it's easier to refer to people you dont know as they' argument that you responded to in the first place? Do you think its warranted to first check the genitals of the crashee before even making the call, lest you use the plural form in an unwarranted manner?

Clumsy autistic ass slammed your phone dropping the spaghetti talking to someone? If the call gets cut, they're going to assume its bad.

>Silently adds pronouns>Actually a net loss of one pronoun>Retarded ESLs start screaming about using singular they despite this being totally appropriate and a less clunky way to refer ambiguously to The Entire Nation Of Chad buying some furry videogame.I haven't even looked at the thread but I'm willing to bet I'm completely right.Way to go enabling these retards by the way staff.I'm sure it was worth it
>>719472463>stop noticing
>>719474173>problem with pluralLiteral nobody that actually speaks english as a primary language has this problem.>>719474545>>719474870That's not actually a rule in english.It IS a rule in languages such as French or Spanish.
>>719471279>zero importance>yet it was deliberately changedIf they find it important enough to change, then others can find it important enough to object to.
