They are a TikTok creator so I would assume by editor they mean a video editor and not a script editor or a code editor. Although my first guess for vs was Visual Studio it looks like there is a video editing app called Video Star and then it would follow that AE is Adobe After Effects

I need to add that to my signature block: vim/vs

Nano means really short person in Italian, what did the devs mean by this?

What sort of monstrosity takes a combination of visual studio and after effects to create.

A game, maybe? Can After Effects be used to make 3d models like Blender?

After Effects is video editing software. It cannot make 3D models.

Not exactly. After effects is a compositing software, using it as a normal video editor would be possible I guess but totally insane lol

Fair lol. I'm pretty sure it doesn't have the capabilities to make 3D models though.

Yeah I use nuke so I'm not sure but I think it can work with simple 3d objects but doesn't have any good modelling tools to create them.

I use OBS for screen/game recording because it doesn't add a stupid watermark and is free. I'm aware that's not the main purpose of the program and I don't stream. But other screen recording programs are bloatware-ridden, non-functional crap.

So maybe After Effect is just good at it's side hustle.

Idk if you have after effects, chances are you got it through adobe creative cloud and you also got premiere pro which is miles better for video editing. Video editing is possible I guess but imo it would be like using excel to write a whole essay. Like the workflow is just not set up for doing normal video editing in there so it would be really fiddly and annoying.

Definitely After Effects for the second one, but I’m lost on the first one?? Visual Studio was my first thought; but I’m assuming it’s video editing software. Vegas Pro is the only video editor I can even think of that starts with a V???

Some have already written some good suggestions for vs, but since I didn't see it mentioned yet: it might refer to VapourSynth.

They were correct on both counts. Those aren't real pronouns, and they aren't calling them that.

If you mean like 3 weirdos on Tumblr that right-wing talk show hosts make fun of to try to make trans people look worthy of ridicule, sure. I guess they had to find something after people stopped believing the “litter boxes in classrooms” stories.

xenogender ppl are (relatively) common-ish if you hang around the right circles tbh

When is the last time you spoke to someone, in person, that used anything aside from he/she/they?

Never, because I haven't talked to many English speakers in general and neopronouns are not a thing in my native language.

I struggle to see why you care about this when you've literally never been affected by it.

Not in real life, but on the internet, I see people like that often, especially on Mastodon.

Do people refusing to use neopronouns hurt anyone? Also no.

Can you show me the research from the medical community showing that things like “star/starself” are actual genders?

Who is confidentially incorrect here? Vs/ae aren't real pronounces, so he's right, just an idiot.

The author was referring to their toolset, not their pronouns.

Would it kill them to write the whole name? They're not that long.

I'm a big fan of not shortening anything unless you're going to use it extremely frequently in a body of writing, and even then, you had better type it out at least once.

I feel like acronyms should never be assumed and always defined, shits annoying.

1

Depends. Some tools have annoying names, and if they're on mobile, autocorrect can be an asshole. You wouldn't want to type out GNU Image Manipulation Project all the time, so you'd just say GIMP.

The top comment confidently believes that "vs/are" in the profile referred to pronouns. They were incorrect.

Well, how would you even know they're aren't pronouns?

"Ae" is actually one of the oldest coined non-binary pronouns, originating in the 1920 science fiction novel A Voyage to Arcturus, where it was used to describe members of an alien race. Its oblique and possessive determiner forms are both "aer", a pun on the alien race being composed of air.

The only result of "vs" I could find in a database of coined pronouns is as a possessive form of "v", which I'm unsure if has any attestations. However, v/vs could be taken as a spelling or inflectional variant of ve/vis, which was first proposed as a gender-neutral pronoun all the way back in 1864.
