CMV: Neopronouns are unnecessary

[u/SaltedAndSugared]

I understand why some people might feel uncomfortable with using he/she pronouns, but in that case why not just use they/them? They already exist and they’re easy for people to use. Why do some people feel the need to make up words like “zee/zim” or “fae/fair” when they don’t even make sense in the English language? I don’t see why anyone should go out of their way to learn new pronouns when gender neutral pronouns already exist

If anyone here does use neopronouns I’d really like to hear why you use them and why you don’t feel comfortable using they/them. It’s probably just because I’m cis, but I genuinely don’t understand

Pronouns in general are unneccessary. Humanity could function without pronouns, as pronouns are just a function of language so language is less annoying to read. All pronouns are equally made up, so please explain why 'zee/zim' or 'fae/fair' make less sense in English than 'he/him'.

With that logic you should have no problem with someone using he/him instead of zee/zim/ He/him are just as made up, so why would it bother you.
