if i physically cannot type the punctuation, its presence in my work would have to be the result of something other than me putting it there.
now, i can't speak for anyone else's usage cases, but if there are emdashes then they're either using a fancy ass word processor that inserts them or they're using AI and that "or" is too suspect for me to overlook.
just type like a normal human being maybe?
I routinely use mdashes. What is your operating system?
