But in referencing those affected by Tay, it was both genders, hence their usage of it. This was not 'PC use of pronouns', but 'correct use of pronouns', due to said pronoun's use in drawing an analogy between Microsoft's response and that movie scene.
You're a little alarmist. That's also quite a bit of hyperbole, that PC use of pronouns leads to something being -unreadable-. But you know that, hence your use of a throwaway account.
