𤦠Young People Are Using Emojis as Pronouns and I Can’t Even

BYĀ MATT MARGOLIS
It was bad enough when males wanted to use feminine pronouns and vice-versa.
It achieved a new level of stupidity when custom pronouns (ze, zir, zem, etc.)Ā became a thing.
But, my friends, the ridiculousness of the āpreferred pronounsā fad has managed to out-clown itself yet again, this time with emoji pronouns.
Libs of TikTok has shared a video of some pronoun-pusher attempting to teach the impressionable youth all about how to use emoji pronouns.
āDid you know that any emojis can be used as pronouns?ā she asks in the video. āMost emoji self-pronouns follow the same grammatical formula. However, if something does change, itāll be specified, so donāt worry.ā
Tee-hee, isnāt this hilarious and not a sign of mental illness at all?
āFor example, if someone uses they/them pronouns but doesnāt want to be outed just yet, then they can use emoji self-pronouns in place of they/them pronouns.ā
Apparently people are using emoji pronouns like āš¶ā in place of words

Quite frankly, in my opinion, anyone who has āpreferred pronounsā might as well useĀ š© for a pronoun ā because thatās exactly what this nonsense is.
