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 does not identify as a guy and drag does not use he/him/himself pronouns. Drag would appreciate not being so blatantly misgendered.

Why not just say I ? It doesn’t make sense to go 3rd person

Drag’s pronouns are not about you. Drag apologises for the confusion.

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)

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.

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.

it would be better if you let people know in your display name that it’s your pronouns, and not, for say, a nickname

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.
