on twitter and tiktok, I've been seeing a bit too much hate on neopronouns. Sometimes they even complain they're like nicknames? Yes- exactly, they're like nicknames, except you use it in place of a pronoun. You can't just refuse to use someone's (emphasis on someone! not your own) pronouns because YOU think it's weird. That's their identity. And I hate that I keep seeing popular people having popular tweets/videos about neopronouns being unnecessary or weird, and getting thousands of likes for it, because for some reason everybody agrees.
Neopronouns are just like nicknames, except you use it in place of a pronoun. Nobody's ever hated on someone else's nickname. Why do we hate on something so adjacent to nicknames just because it's a pronoun?
