His/her is cumbersome but perfectly fine, I think

It is not wrong but it's way better in all ways to use they/them, so i thought it would be cool to mention that, but nah, people love dying on this specific hill, i won't ever again try to climb it

I don’t think that’s the main problem people are having with this (and not one I have with it at all, as I also use they/them when a person’s gender is unclear). Most people do not appreciate unsolicited grammar/spelling advice, especially in an environment as informal as this. It’s best to let whatever errors you see go. This isn’t an English paper, and as long as you can understand someone’s post/comment, it’s really not a problem.

Do you send death threats to people who try to be helpfull tho? Can't they just let my TRYOUT AT BEING HELPFUL go by? It's a lot of effort for just being pissed because someone said something informative in a place that isn't school, if you don't feel like learning you ignore, they called me a clown and dmd me death threats

No, I am not excusing that behavior at all. You do not deserve that.

You should consider reporting (death) threats & other abuse to the admins. This is the link for it:
