Amusingly, "they" is not one of the pronouns it prefers.
- scrollaway 4y ago“They” is a perfectly acceptable pronoun when you don’t know somebody’s gender, or preferences.
- _cenw 4y agoSure, but we do, half the thread is arguing about the validity of it(s) pronouns.
- taurath 4y agoFeels like a passing of the generational torch as elsewhere in the thread there’s large arguments about pronouns while younger people who are way past that are out here getting into wide open Jenkins servers for active airlines lol
- iamtedd 4y agoLove this take.
- 0cVlTeIATBs 4y agoDidn't know you could tell someone's age by their comments.
- concordDance 4y agoI think you're misunderstanding a few things, particularly the nature of commentary. People comment mostly when they think they have something topical to add that hasn't been said. And pronouns are something people feel much more able to have opinions on that doing scans for open servers. The vast vast vast majority of people of any age won't comment at all. Good rule of thumb: NEVER assume that the views of commentators are in any way representative.
- WXLCKNO 4y agoNot sure if amusing but referring to someone as "it" makes it seem like an insult. I realize (per the bottom of the wiki article) that those are the chosen pronouns but still.
