it’s completely unpronounceable and also if you clicked someone’s pronouns when replying to them it would automatically add the tiny little picture for you

    As a certified idiot I’m kind of embarrassed to ask this, but what is the subtlety I’m missing that differentiates this bit from the one joke?

      As a cis im not really qualified to make a statement of meaning, but since you ask, i think that custom pronouns could be cute/fun/meaningful for enbies or anyone to express their sex in a thousand words rather than 2. However my comment was (perhaps) in agreement with you, saying in essence it would be used too often by trolls or general baddies.

        TBH I’ve always wondered if there could be an effective bit centered around reclaiming attack helicopter. (Will delete/not argue with mod removal if this is in poor taste.)

          Maybe in the context of fucking around with pronouns to show how the way society views gender and sex are completely based on social contexts only barely informed by historical context and largely informed by patriarchy and domination of cis women, their bodies, and queer identities.

          Idk if you’re funny you could make a funny bit about it but I transitioned to be a woman so I can’t be funny shrug-outta-hecks

      Mostly context - the one joke uses the idea that any identity other than man or woman is pretending to be something you’re not, while the “my pronouns are [complete incoherence]” highlights how all genders and pronouns are made up.
