well i never encountered anyone who asked me to use a specific pronoun when adressing them or whatever. must be mainly an US thing.

but even if i did, its not a hard thing to do so its whatever to me. even if it may sound ridiculous at first...
For real.

Like, if someone said to me "My name is Curtis, but people call be Curt".

I'm not going to say "NO! I'm calling you Curtis whether you like it or not!".

I see the pronoun thing the same way. You wanna be a they/them, so be it.

not all pronouns are equal.

people laugh at or dismiss certain names all the time, literally no reason they can't laugh or dismiss pronouns the same way.

and, as is generally the case when people laugh or dismiss "certain names", they are being a discriminatory asshole and should be recognized as such

This dude thinks it's unfair discrimination to laugh at someones mother naming them Peterpaulenmary.

Discrimination is a skill you need to develop to function as an adult.

Calling someone an asshole for next to nothing is a pretty asshole thing to do, pal.

people getting made fun of for their name are not "generally" named "Peterpaulenmary." they are "generally" from a different country/culture/etc. where that name is more common.

Nope, sorry. Again, you can make fun of someone inventing their very own special pronouns that are completely redundant with other existing pronouns without hating them as a person. Haven't you ever had a friend that did or said something dumb and called it out? Did that mean you suddenly hated them? Do you literally hate everyone you've ever met who did or said something you thought was dumb? Or can only flip between "total support" and "hate"?

Justifying your hate as simple criticisms doesn't make it any less hate

Using neo-pronouns is in no way 'dumb' it just isn't the norm so you are uncomfortable with it. Don't discriminate against people because you are uncomfortable with something they do that is completely harmless.

Nope, sorry. It's not discomfort. It's not hate. It's not a lack of understanding. Some things are just dumb, and it's okay to call them out, and no amount of trying to spin that as some kind of hateful attitude is going to change that.

You not understanding something doesn't make it dumb. It means you should try to come to understand it, maybe try talking in good faith to someone who uses those pronouns.

It's on you to recognize the difference between making fun of something and hating an entire group of people, though, since you haven't quite grasped that concept yet. While you're going on about self betterment, maybe consider learning that level of nuance at least if you're going to engage in sensitive subjects like "not every made up pronoun deserves to be adopted by the whole of society, especially when they're completely redundant with other existing pronouns, just because someone decided they want it."

That's a lot of words to say "I don't like what they're doing so no one else should either / they shouldn't be allowed to do it"

It isn't harmful in anyways for people to use neo-pronouns so if you don't like them shut the fuck up about it.

Hmm... that should have been painfully obvious. I'll accept the dunce cap for that. I can see adding something to make it grammatically correct. I'm still a bit stuck on there being so many. Gender and sexual identity are individualistic. I feel like many want to have their individualism recognized, which is all well and good, but not feasible.
Compare and contrast with competing forms of media formatsJPEG, BMP, PNG, WebP, MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC.... When you give communities of people the freedom to come up with their own ways of doing things, and there isn't any authority or driving market force that naturally narrows these competing options down (think Blu-Ray vs HD-DVD where hardware compatibility and production cost drive the need for a consensus industry standard), you end up with lots of options.

The other important thing to keep in mind is that these terms mostly formed within separate communities with differing cultures and their crossover usage, while seemingly meaningless to us, might have significance to those members of that community wishing to identify themselves to other members. Someone with a PhD may prefer to be referred to as "Doctor" because it identifies that they are part of the academic community. Someone who is a fan of a certain band might wear a t-shirt with the band's logo. And just because the differences are not obvious to those of us outside the community does not mean they do not exist. A member of the US Marine Corps, for example, would likely strongly object to being called "soldier" despite an outsider not seeing a meaningful difference between the two.

You should poll left leaning folk to see if they care about pronouns.

At least any pronouns beyond he/she/they.

Like, those are the only three thats needed. Youre either a boy, girl, or neither.

You can not just.. make up another one they/them already covers it. So to want another one implies you think youre super special or something and has discovered a new gender, which is absurd.

Neither does not imply that every non-binary person understands their gender the same way.

You don't get to tell people they can't express how they feel in a manner of their choosing. If it isn't harming anyone, shut your mouth because it isn't your place to comment on it.
