Did anyone actually push the use of neopronouns (besides they/them) in mainstream society? It seems like the really out there neopronouns were merely a tumblr fad.

There was a push for it. If you have attended any Pride events in the last several years, you may have seen it in person. Ze/Zem/Zir and Xe//Xem/Xir were the most common I saw the push for in real life. It's died down somewhat since 2017/2018.

My partner took our son to a leftist meeting a couple years ago, and when he was filling out his name tag, they told him name and pronouns. Asking my partner what pronouns were, he responded "what you'd like to be called." He came home with an adorable name tag with his name with "sir" written below. It cracked me up.
