Uwu envy is essentially the same concept as Freud's penis envy, but applied to modern society's fixation with cuteness. Individuals experiencing uwu envy may harbor a sense of inferiority, where they subconsciously (or consciously) covet others who effortlessly exude the cute and innocent aesthetic of 'uwu.' It may initially manifest as a state of being intimidated or even a feeling of resentment towards those who fit the uwu aesthetic, often due to feeling out of the loop or disconnected from popular internet culture and the trends associated with it.
Unlike penis envy though, uwu envy is very easy to overcome. Overcoming one's uwu envy may involve a strong desire to assimilate the physical attributes, mannerisms, or online presence associated with cuteness, and may drive individuals to engage in attention-seeking behavior or adopt an infantile or anime-influenced aesthetic as a means of validation. More often than not, this typically involves changing your profile pic to a cute anime girl and using cute phrases and emojis such as ':3' and 'rawr'. Those with uwu envy are indistinguishable from those who genuinely co-opt uwu culture, the only difference being that, deep down, individuals with uwu envy do it as a sort of psychological compensatory mechanism.
Uwu envy is the troubling reflection of a young generation that prioritizes surface-level appearances over genuine self-acceptance, self-expression and emotional maturity, perpetuating a shallow aesthetics-based culture.

Imagine making a big fuss about a pair of pronouns. It's a gender-neutral reference to the third-person singular, and that's all there is to it. Some people may say "his/her" instead of "their" as that's what they're used to, just like how some people may choose to say "buy" instead of "purchase". And that's A-okay.
And to be fair, this is mostly used in more formal speech or text, such as an essay or a legislative document. Obviously you're not gonna say this in casual dialogue (again, no problems if you choose to do so).

Me: ChatGPT, can you help me make an example of "his/her" used in a sentence?
ChatGPT: Certainly! Here's an example of "his/her" used in a sentence:
"In the course syllabus, it says that each student should bring his/her own textbook to the class."

Mr. Sub is a Canadian sub shop franchise. Its main competitor is Subway (and vice versa in Canada).
Many Canadians view subway as better, while others believe the exact opposite, but in the end it's mostly personal preference. Nowadays I find myself preferring Mr. Sub over Subway, but I think it's because I've eaten at subway far too many times. You can't go wrong with either, and to be honest Mr. Sub does offer far more variety than Subway.

John was getting tired of that same old subway taste, so he decided to order from Mr. Sub instead and did not regret it one bit. He now prefers Mr. Sub over subway.
