Reply to comment by EclecticDreck in Some words of wisdom from Rose of Sharon Cassidy [Fallout New Vegas] by amplyDoff45

You're not wrong, but this particular commenter isn't worth engaging.

But this is a fantastic explanation of her character. Love it.

Oh, I know. Indeed, I waffled between calling out the bigoted nonsense or simply explaining how the context made their bigoted nonsense extra silly and opted for the latter. She is a fantastic character, and I'd rather spend a few minutes on a short essay giving people context (and invite a discussion) should they, for some reason, go plumbing this dank basement of the thread.

I'm a man dont call me a they. If you use pronouns you're not as strong minded as you believe lmfao

Your first sentence contains eight words, three of which are pronouns.

Pronouns are a common part of English. You can write around it, but it will sound incredibly awkward. For example:

"/u/Sheeplearehypmotized is a man. /u/Sheeplearehypmotized does not want to be called a pronoun. If /u/EclecticDreck uses pronouns, /u/EclecticDreck is not as strong minded as /u/EclecticDreck believes."

See? Awkward.

You look weak. A strong man wouldnt go out of his way to type something so petty and childish. A liberal male that calls a man a woman would.

Oh my goodness! You're still using so many pronouns! It is terrible to see, given how much these trivial parts of language bother you. Please take this list of offending words so that you might better avoid them in the future.
