Comment on Is there any significance to people using emojis that match their skin tone?

  For a same reason they want to add emojis with different color skins? Stupidity, thoughtlessnes and virtue signaling.

  Why would someone want to add gendered pronouns to a language

  For adding specificity to lamguage. If you are talking about several people, the disambiguation can be handy.

  We could have add pronouns that distinguish by size, or age, etc.

  The really stupid feature of most indo-european is the arbitrary gendering of most nouns.

    I like how Japanese does it, just call people by names and titles instead. 2nd person and 3rd pronouns exist but are only rarely used.
