 @Mr. Mojo Risin' Also, to make an obvious point - when you refer to an unknown individual as "he" or "she", you're 50% likely to be right (in reality, you're actually far more likely than that to be right, since you unconsciously applied basic profiling to your guess, like when assuming someone you're playing against online is male, which is overwhelmingly likely to be the case).

Meanwhile, when you refer to an unknown individual as "they", you are 0% likely to be right. Yes, this also goes for "non-binary" people and others whose "preferred pronouns" are they/them, because such worthless faggots should never be validated to begin with.
