Especially in this fandom, that while many anons show the same level of inteligence as Ruby or Zwei, they can at least accept small things like that. Because using “they”, or really anything but “we” and “us” implies a certain level of distance between the one that says it and the one said person refers to…it’s not there unless you look for it, but on the internet it tends to be taken as such...

If you go to a meeting or enter a discussion and say at some point  “I think you need to reconsider” the usual reaction would be to along the lines of “No. YOU need to reconsider!”, and I’d be forced to go “ok, WE need to reconsider” in order for the other person to give me a chance …so why not just cut out the middle man and use “we” in order to avoid pointless padding ...does that make sense?
