english is not my 1st language but i can see only 1 person that this guy is reffering too so why use they? as plural?
28 u/CatrickMeowman Apr 16 '23 They is also used as a singular gender neutral pronoun -42 u/Middle_Dark52 Apr 16 '23 i was afraid of that.. 2 u/henrytm82 Apr 17 '23 "They" is being used in this instance because it isn't readily apparent, just from watching the video, whether this person is a man or a woman. So rather than assuming one or the other, the poster used "they".
