debate
so i was browsing on tiktok and i saw a comment on a video ab neopronouns and nounpronouns(?)
this seemed like a really interesting topic so im gonna put down 2 comments that stood out to me
Each are written by different people btw
"Pronouns are meant to replace nouns.. ex: That's her husband - That's Sarah's husband. Her replaces Sarah. You can't use nouns to replace.. nouns.."
"If you are a human, I'm not calling you bug, doll, kitten, bat or anything like that. The lgbtq community has tried for so long to seem as human to others and now that people wanna be called objects or animals isn't right"
I think #1 is right. To be honest, using kitten or doll as a pronoun or something really just seems more like its a nickname.
However, #2 is more debatable. The second sentence does make sense but I don't think those types are pronouns are from people who believe that they are actually animals or objects. From what I've heard from a few people who use those pronouns(not saying a few people represent everyone), they're more to express themselves or what they like.
I also wanna say that the tiktok WAS NOT bashing on neopronouns. The video just included it as a reference.
I don't really wanna make this too long tho so I'm just gonna stop right here
I thought pronouns are linked to gender. You can be female, male or non-binary. If you want to introduce a new gender, it's logical to use specific pronouns. But liking cats is not a gender, it's another species...
To answer your question, #1 is not valid to me. Since when "you can't do that" is an argument? I mean language can evolve.
For #2, I a......
