I don’t think so. About similar. But making up your own pronouns is a lot more work in German because of the Deklination 😉.

@useless_idiot @Invictus yeah, in german it's really hard. i maintain that the whole language and pronoun wars are bullshit though. they aren't about making lives better but sounding the waters for how much bullshit and newspeak the common population is ready to accept.
I think it’s just pretending to be a nice person without having to do anything for it.
Story time: Last Saturday evening I was in Köln, don’t ask why. Next day there was the pride thing that’s very big there. Whole city full of progressive, caring weirdos or people pretending to be weirdos.
I stepped around a disgusting bleeding junky laying on a busy sidewalk. 3 minutes later my conscience kicked in and I went back to check on her…
…none of those progressive caring weirdos had done anything!
After I put her on her side, inspecting, calling and waiting for an ambulance some of them started to see something was going on. So they started saying how terrible it was and giving useless advise.
(Not really proud of myself either. At first I walked by, after the ambulance took over I was out of there immediately. )
@useless_idiot @Invictus
yeah, maybe the whole pronoun thing is about being effortless virtue signalling while still behaving like an asshole.
great you helped! after all it's not about the effort put in, but the result :)
