Yeah, I guess it's been used for a while. My old what-would-happen-if questions had often used a singular they. But using them for one specific individual, sometimes it's better to find the right pronoun. You know the custom Rookie you make in LEGO DC Super villains? Everyone keeps calling the Rookie "they" even though it's a single entity and as an android on the villain side, the pronoun "it" would have worked just fine. Or, maybe the developers could have let the player decide whether the Rookie is male or female during customization and have the voice actors retake their lines twice when the Rookie's pronoun is uttered.

Aw man, ever since Alex and Maggie broke up, I can never get away from political discussions could I? My reactions to that awful story really pushed me too far to the right.
