Can we have a toggle to enable Twitch Pronouns

Unfortunately the linked website does not include an API documentation as far as I can see.
However, if I remember various discussions about it in the chatterino context correctly, it requires separate network requests for every user. Even with caching this is far from ideal on a mobile client. It will definitely lead to a big increase in battery and network consumption.
If someone would implement this for DankChat I would require it to be disabled by default and it should only load pronouns of users in the currently active chat to reduce the amount of requests.

Hey, I think I may have found a link to the documentation Here

Yeah, I can't help with anything else in your paragraph, but I figured to at least get a good link

The summary is: The dev of the pronoun extension will never provide the data the way DankChat or Chatterino need it, but he has a genuine reason because if the data was available in this way, it would basically be a list of people to harass.
