 i like flares tho

there's a lot of cringy stuff that is still cool tho, whatever, the fad part sucks but pronouns are fundamentalyl a psychological manipulation tactic and i'm not going for it

you can get most people to call you by some name but asking for several names to use for different situations is obnoxious

also, implicitly i am using the third-person pronouns as i see fit not in the company of the referent... that is actually implicit, you know what i mean?

she is a dumb cow, and he is a poncy tart. there. neither of those are said, IMPLICITLY, in the presence of who the pronoun refers
