You didn't even bring out your point, man... you could elaborate onit...
I feel like the 2nd person "you" is a bit too direct? Like it really only gets used in anger on the Internet so it suggests a certain confrontational tone.
It's a shame because I think it would be useful to be able to use them without the tone baggage
I guess that's a reason...
My conlang genders its pronouns in all three grammatical persons, incidentally.
There are first and second person neopronouns in English but they aren't very common at all. I think if we ever get a user who goes by those pronouns, thon can talk to the admins about it.
Is there a gender specific alternative?
Hey, you
with feminine emphasis
Uh okey, we alright, man?
