Soooo, Patreon is to blame for this nonsense!?! I knew that platform would be the downfall of humanity.

There is and has been no pronoun war. There has been some discussion of the use of non-gendered pronouns, most of which has been transferred to a thread that was already discussing the same thing, which should remove the obscurity of the remark.
There has been some dissension over the matter of deliberately getting Tilly's name wrong, but that has passed.

Ah, fair enough. It seems that here in Australia, such non-gendered pronoun usage is rare to the point of undetectable -
that includes at work, talking to kids, shopping, in my business dealings, anywhere... :oops:

Such usage is very rare pretty much everywhere afaik, including in the US.
I have to admit that, while I understand and respect the use of they/them pronouns and will try to use those pronouns consistently, it still feels very unnatural (to me at least) to use them for singular human beings. So, I apologize in advance if I inadvertently use the incorrect pronoun in future posts.

Do they explain why they love Tilly?
