    I only know 3 third person singular personal pronouns (he she they). Why do I include they? Because singular they has existed since the 13th century and became very popular in Shakespeare's time. It was only in the 18th and 19th centuries that some language reformists decided that the gender neutral third person singular pronoun for someone of unknown gender or sex was 'he'. They is just a much more natural sounding word in this context, though it breaks agreement sometimes. 👍-gen z

    This video is a blatant misrepresentation of my generation. Gen z does not care if you use 👍 or not. There is a very small minority of us who do think this, however, I have never seen them. Generalizing all of the zoomers to be snowflakes that want to cancel everything is tantamount to generalizing that all boomers are racist or all millennials are cringe. Obviously those are not true. And yet here you are; calling an entire generation fools. It is ironic as you are the one foolishly believing something you saw covered by legacy media and taking it at face value. Baka 👍

    Correction - The complaining about the OK emoji was done by MAJORITY old people. Like it 100% had nothing to do with gen z. I remember it distinctly. And no one ever got mad at white emojis, unless it was like one post. And this time it was also only one post and it wasn't even complaining about the emoji. They simply said that in some situations it's passive aggressive, which is true. So no, it looks like you're the one here complaining the most.
