“They” is literally that.

Ngl but we can be pretty grateful that we even have “they” in English. In most Germanic and Latin based languages we have gendered third person plural pronouns or at least they are the same pronouns for something else, like in German with “sie” (third person female singular) and “sie” (third person bigender plural).

This (and sadly some other things) make it talking gender neutral in German really hard because your either have to use no pronouns at all (I’m doing that, then you say “that person is doing …” for example) or you use neopronouns, which, to be honest, most German speakers don’t like at all.

Also I have to add the following:

The language we use may not even influence current political situations, as Tom Scott points out: youtu.be/CmZdGo6b5yA?si=XIabOE5eLjcg9ciU

Summary: it may be that changing the language we use does not have an effect on the society we live in, because it probably is not the cause of discrimination but one effect of it or completely disjunct.

storage is cheap

My guy, if you talk about slow ass HDDs then yes, but games have become so large that you have to have a SSD at least to have enough read speed for reasonable loading time for shaders, textures, etc.
