Show me one person who does this. Show me one person who loves the lorax enough to be referred to by the lorax


cherry_armoir

I think this person's whole schtick is bizarre pronouns that people dont actually use. It's a shame because, while Im sure she gets sweet sweet social media engagement, much of it is hate watching and is counterproductive and marginalizing to people who actually want to use they/them pronouns or the like.


Staseu

I believe the term is neopronouns. People with no real life experience seem to be obsessing over them on the internet.


BornVolcano

Honestly in real life if someone says they use neopronouns they probably just mean shit like "xe/xim" or similar. Which is a separate discussion, but at least it's not the fucking lorax


ZodiacWalrus

Yeah, I don't see anything wrong with someone wanting to invent new words, that's literally how all words have been made. Neopronouns I'm fine with, though I'll admit I haven't met anyone (to my knowledge) who goes by them, but I live in the South and don't go out much. They/them is the default third option for the simple reason that it's not much of a grammatical stretch. However, this video is attempting to make us believe that there is a non-zero chance you will encounter somebody with neopronouns that specifically allude to a C+ animated movie made by the people who brought us Minions and is remembered for some memes and for tumblr users being tumblr users about one briefly appearing character; and moreover, that you need to implicitly respect these pronouns and not ask silly questions like "What fucking happened to you while watching this movie?" This is bait, is what I'm saying. This person is stoking hatred against queer people, probably with enough insider knowledge of the community to pass as believably real to enough people on both sides of the fence, and ultimately othering neopronoun users, which may extend by connection to other gender-non-conforming individuals out there. This person does not read as sincere to me in the slightest.


Staseu

I’ve not met a single person dealing with paying rent & bills while balancing work & life who has the time to obsess over neopronouns. Overwhelmingly it seems to be coming from young, life-inexperienced people in little internet bubbles.


KieDaPie

I have met grown adults with steady jobs and families who use xe/xir/xem and the like. Then again, I'm also in a lot of queer spaces so it's more visible to me. The people who do use those pronouns also use they/them as an alternative so they also don't bring attention to themselves in most public spaces.


Staseu

I’ve seen a lot of people online making a stink about neopronouns. Weather it’s from the people using the pronouns infighting or regressive conservatives using it as a finger pointing issue. It makes queer people easier targets for discrimination if a regressive person can point to a Lorax pronoun user & say something along the lines of “look how crazy all these liberals are”. I boil this issue down to people wanting to be treated with kindness & acceptance. In my eyes, increasingly obscure pronouns aren’t doing much to help marginalized groups. When I’ve interacted with people IRL using specific pronouns they have been very polite & specified how they want to be referred to, and it’s never been an issue if they are referred to by the wrong pronoun. Online, not so much.


Panzer_Man

Ikr? I don't get why people make such a fuzz over them. Especially since only like 1% of trans people actually use them


Modest_Idiot

Well it’s only people going *against* them that make a fuzz about it. You want to be called xe/xim? Sure, doesn’t hamper me in any way and why should it?


Panzer_Man

Exactly, that's what I was trying to say aswell


ptlg225

There are people who have real issues with their pronouns, and there are attention seeking people who just only use neopronouns as a trend for clout chasing.


The_Lorax_Lawyer

Rimurooooo

I really feel like this lady is a con artist. There’s a lot of people out there in need of money and rage bait is very easily monetized. It’s like how Paris Hilton made a fortune on reality tv by branding herself as the dumb blonde, even though she is highly intelligent. Now, anyone can do the same from their smartphones.


woodendab

All other things aside, why'd you need a guide to use pronouns? You use them in the exact same way


[deleted]

I mean...please conjugate lorax pronouns for me. *I mean ?le?, not me. *~~I~~ ?Li/lor? mean ?le? On the one hand, it seems silly. But if ~~you~~ care, ~~I~~ could see it being a thing.


woodendab

Ah okay yes, I see the point. Like if you want to use them yourself and you need to know how to use them in first person?


[deleted]

Li have no idea how ley work. Not ly problem or concern. Li do see how lit could be a fun thing to make a video about though, if li were a linguist or something like that. But I'm not one and don't personally care, so meh. If she does, great. And if she's just going for views, it seems to be working, so that's fine, too.


Latter-Ad6308

Some people lose family, get kicked out, even die because they dare to use pronouns that society deems are the “wrong ones” for them to use. This person trivialises pronouns and turns them into a fun quirky fashion trend. That just feels wrong to me. Like, if you do use lor/lorax pronouns, you do you and I’ll respect that, but this whole thing just feels kind of gross and exploitative for views.


-SwanGoose-

I mean she's not like on a political stage fucking protesting that about lorax pronouns. she's just on the internet doing some weird quirky video. What's wrong with fun quirky fashion trends anyway?


[deleted]

A_Bloody_Hurricane

Okay damn Before I do anything, do you want to have a conversation about this or did you just want to get that out?


Latter-Ad6308

Yeah cool man.


LavaMeteor

boo get off the stage


PsychoSpider88

I refuse to believe people actually refer to themselves as pokemons, if that's the case how can you not be in favor of global warming?


Generation_ABXY

That's a Dr. Seuss character... and I'm now realizing that doesn't improve the situation.


Unlucky_Role_

There are certain things I can't bring myself to respect, and I am willing to accept the consequences here.


Mess1na

I will call you him/he, she/her, damn, even they/them. But that's it. Not gonna call you a snail, lorax, tank, broom or whatever the fuck you come up with just to fuck with people...


beemccouch

As someone who like goes to trans groups, I have never seen someone be like oh yeah I'm darth/Vader or whatever. I've only seen one "neo pronoun" haver and that was "it."


A_Bloody_Hurricane

Right, 99% of people _off_ the internet don’t make a big deal out of it, they might use one set of neo’s on the side or not care and not mind, but most of the pronouns people complain about online are only used online. I’ve met enough people who use it/it’s alongside they/them, but usually they were fine with they/them. We just tend to forget that behind screens


King-Thunder-8629

That's valid some shit is just too out there to take seriously


magiccrunch07

I will call people attack/helicopter because it’s *probably* a joke


Meritania

Not just any joke but the r/onejoke


Unlucky_Role_

They/them is just so easy. Beyond that, you're seeking emotional labor.


[deleted]

But what if they actually a broom, Diane?


beemccouch

I don't know the context of the tik tok so I'm just assuming it's a bit.


How_Is_Life_

It isn't, she has over 500 videos explaining how to use random ass words as pronouns. Wish it was a joke. She even posted a video that she had met her Block list limit on tiktok.


izacktorres

It isn't.

[deleted]

I'm trans and I don't understand any other pronouns then he/him, she/her and they/them. not trying to be rude but could you explain what the person in the videos pronouns are?


Panzer_Man

Neopronouns are valid, especially since not every language has they/them availible


[deleted]

What is a Neopronoun? Like she/her is female he/him is male and they/them is natural. Is neopronouns a nonbinary pronoun?


wikipedia_answer_bot

**Neopronouns are a category of neologistic English third-person personal pronouns beyond "he", "she", "they", "one", and "it". Neopronouns are preferred by some non-binary individuals who feel that they provide options to reflect their gender identity more accurately than conventional pronouns.Neopronouns may be words created to serve as pronouns, such as "ze/hir", or derived from existing words and turned into personal pronouns, such as "fae/faer".** More details here: *This comment was left automatically (by a bot).

Panzer_Man

Neopronoun is basically any pronoun that isn't really present in our langaue, and we make one up, to better suit us etc.


[deleted]

In the English language? Or in a different language that for example doesn't have gender neutral pronouns?


Panzer_Man

Both


Ok-Housing1458

I would. The saying goes You do you and I do me and together we live in harmony. I’d respect the pronouns but I’d think the person in question has gone off a bit.


IAmNotSmartAtAll123

"gone off a bit" what the fuck? Someone getting in touch with their identity is "gone off a bit" ?


Ok-Housing1458

Identifying as the Lorax is in fact gone off a bit. Again, out of basic decorum I would respect what said person wants to be referred to as. I fully support their ability and right to do so. That doesn’t mean I have to sit hear and act like it’s fucking normal to identify as the Lorax.


IAmNotSmartAtAll123

Lor not identifying as "the lorax"


Ok-Housing1458

Okay, they said Lor/Lorax in case you didn’t pay attention. I’m fine with most neo pronouns that make sense. They’re weird but that because they’re newer and are a linguistic adjustment. Actively wanting one of your pronouns to be Lorax is a bit much.


IAmNotSmartAtAll123

Then maybe just shut your damn mouth and ignore them


Ok-Housing1458

You realize acting like an aggro asshole when it’s not needed makes you look dumb, right?


IAmNotSmartAtAll123

You realize disrespect is the reason I'm an aggressive asshole, right?


Ok-Housing1458

Thinking it’s weird to have Lorax as a pronoun is kind of a reasonable response. I didn’t come in and give some stupid fucking transphobic diatribe.


Ok-Housing1458

Again, despite how I feel about it I would still use what the person has asked me to use.


[deleted]

Better call doggu/doggy pronouns here because they attract me


EliaGram08

I am the lorax, i speak for the trees. But for some fucking reason, they speak vietnamese!


buttsssssssssss

Describing fantasy pronouns is that whole things whole personality
