        It’s part of some regional dialects, yes. But it’s also an affectation that people have picked up from being online a lot. Some people also recommend it as a gender neutral variant of “you guys”.

            I'm not saying the use of y'all is blackface, I'm making a comparison to show that what the dumbass above said is the exact same kind of obvious bullshit deflection these people use when they're acting in snide bad faith and want you to know it. They always try to sound folksy and relatable to give a tissue-thin veneer of humanity to their horribly inhuman ideas. "Y'all could've had a girlboss who gives the police more robots!" And then when you call them on it it it's all "Oh, why do you hate (X group I'm pretending to speak for this week)?"

            I def could have made it clearer that i was making an example and not an accusation, but that would have required more words than the person I responded to is worth. You on the other hand, are chill and worth elaborating to.

              It's also right, in my opinion, to connect it to race. Yes, it is a cross-race cultural thing in the South but Black people popularized it outside of the South.

              If a non-Southern White person says y'all, I cringe.

          Glad to know every non-black person living south of the Mason-Dixon line is doing blackface for using a pronoun you don't like.

        Are you cis? Because saying this to a non-binary person on a server where 60-70% of the users are non-cis is really funny.

            They don't. It's literally just cynically using trans people as a weapon to defend Warren from the very correct argument that they are feigning being normal and folksy. They don't actually give a fuck about trans people other than how they can wield us as a weapon to deflect with.

              Idk if i've just been included in "you guys" one too many times or what, but I don't wanna discourage people from using gender neutral pronouns. Also, y'all is just subjectively objectively the best way to refer to a group of people other than "you fuckers". Besides, it's not like we are short on reason to make fun of Warren and her Stans.
