Comment on Why the ‘Queen of Shitty Robots’ Renounced Her Crownparent

IME, that reflects (at least American) society in general, where males are referred to by their last names among friends much more often than females.

It also depends on the last name. Short last names will be used more than long ones, male or female. Funny last names more than non-funny ones.

Did you vote for Donald or Hillary?

Bernie or Warren ?

It goes back to coaches using last names in sports practices. This probably is changing as there is more gender balance in youth sports.

In the case of male Youtube makers, I find lack of any name whatsoever is more likely the case.
