Julius Caesar was assassinated for wearing red boots. Barrack Obama was lambasted for wearing a tan suit. Purple is associated with royalty, white is associated with clergy, and gold is associated with superiority. Red and Blue have powerful meanings in America, and so does Green. Which colour is the most political in your opinion?
Drag? What do you mean?
This guy’s gimmick is to speak about himself in the third person. You can safely block him.
Holy shit it’s mongo
Drag does not identify as a guy and drag does not use he/him/himself pronouns. Drag would appreciate not being so blatantly misgendered.
pretty sure guy is gender neutral.
but yeah. just using ‘he/him’ for everyone is a crime.
Why not just say I ? It doesn’t make sense to go 3rd person
“I don’t feel that I need to explain my art to you, Warren.”
Drag is not going third person. Drag is using first person neopronouns. Drag is happy to teach you about grammar structures you’re unfamiliar with. Drag prefers drag’s pronouns over gender neutral pronouns like “I” because drag’s gender is not neutral.
In Japan, there are multiple first person pronouns depending on the speaker’s identity and indeed the specifics of their current social situation. Like watashi, boku, and ore. Drag is doing that.
Also in Japan, if someone refers to themself with their own name, that’s seen as childish or arrogant.
If your first person pronoun is the same as someone referring to you in third person, then you are referring to yourself in third person every time you refer to yourself in first person. And since the idea of a first person neopronoun is exceedingly rare, most people will only think of you as speaking in the third person.
Drag is not referring to dragself by drag’s name. Drag is referring dragself by the pronoun “drag”, while drag’s name is Dragon “Rider”. Drag would like to remind you that drag’s name is perfectly visible on your screen and you can read it whenever you like, so you don’t need drag’s help to know what drag’s name is.
You refer to yourself as “Drag”, which I understand is short for “Dragon”. And given your proclivities towards dragons, I have to assume this is intentional. So, yes, you are referring to yourself by your name, or at least a nickname.
Is drag to understand that your position is that pronouns cannot sound similar to the names of the people who have them?
Somebody should tell Sheila and Hector they need to change their pronouns, then.
Are you an idiot?
Yes, but I don’t see how that’s relevant here.
Your idiocy was on full display when you couldn’t tell the difference between a name and a pronoun.
I think you’re desperately seeking attention or a right wing troll because you’re the most annoying person on lemmy
People like you are the reason I used to be so right wing
Did you just assume drag’s person? /Jk
It does if one wants to be really annoying.
Drag’s pronouns are not about you. Drag apologises for the confusion.
Mongo only pawn in game of life
Someone is taking the “I don’t use pronouns” thing to the most literal extreme.
That’s what makes me think (hope) it’s a troll. Easily the most obnoxious annoying person on lemmy (maybe minus hexbear psychos)
It’s not misgendering if it happens before you let anyone know that, fucking dumbass.
Drag’s pronoun is in brackets in drag’s display name. Drag wonders why you choose to complain to other people about your own decision not to read the things on your screen.
Your gimmick doesn’t work, Drag. You’re even having tk say “Drag’s”, which is literally how third person possessive plurals work. Find another thing to draw attention.
Stupid AND a liar, no wonder you’re the way you are.
Drag can see that you have configured Lemmy to show usernames instead of displaynames. Drag’s username is dragonfucker. Drag suggests learning how to use Lemmy properly before calling people who understand the software better than you liars.
You mean I downloaded Boost and used the default settings? I suggest you get your head checked, the stick you shoved up your ass is sticking out of your mouth and you’re spewing bullshit now.
i know of two reddit clients repurposed for lemmy (boost, sync) only because i heard of their suckings
Here’s a relevant thread: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/25502917
You shouldn’t complain about not seeing displaynames after choosing an app that doesn’t show displaynames. Unless you plan to complain to the developers and request the option.
it would be better if you let people know in your display name that it’s your pronouns, and not, for say, a nickname

for example: Dragon “Rider” (pronouns: drag)
ah.
