it's completely unpronounceable and also if you clicked someone's pronouns when replying to them it would automatically add the tiny little picture for you

Who's stopping you?
Hexbear and the fact that I can't custom upload a very small png as my pronouns
Wow authoritarian Hexbear trying to keep our meme gender comrades down
I envision too many attack helicopter.pngs so unless those were automod banned for the additional lulz this bit would turn into /onejoke
As a certified idiot I'm kind of embarrassed to ask this, but what is the subtlety I'm missing that differentiates this bit from the one joke?
Mostly context - the one joke uses the idea that any identity other than man or woman is pretending to be something you're not, while the "my pronouns are [complete incoherence]" highlights how all genders and pronouns are made up.
As a cis im not really qualified to make a statement of meaning, but since you ask, i think that custom pronouns could be cute/fun/meaningful for enbies or anyone to express their sex in a thousand words rather than 2. However my comment was (perhaps) in agreement with you, saying in essence it would be used too often by trolls or general baddies.
TBH I've always wondered if there could be an effective bit centered around reclaiming attack helicopter. (Will delete/not argue with mod removal if this is in poor taste.)
Maybe in the context of fucking around with pronouns to show how the way society views gender and sex are completely based on social contexts only barely informed by historical context and largely informed by patriarchy and domination of cis women, their bodies, and queer identities.
Idk if you're funny you could make a funny bit about it but I transitioned to be a woman so I can't be funny

for a second there i thought it was 
We need his rival, wishing a very Bugs Bunny
me, an idiot: "pronouns are single short words that draw on context"
you: "you are like a little baby, watch this"
This is literally why we don't have custom pronouns.
We actually had a whole discussion way back; parts of the mod team wanted custom pronouns, parts of it thought it'd end up turning into a jokes field. I still agree with the decision. Though we also talked about having custom user flairs, like back in the old sub, and I thought that custom pronouns would be fine if we added those first, since it gives you a place for your joke and allows mods to be bigger hard-asses about jokes in pronouns.
