There are people named Yuu, Mi and Ai. However:

  • They likely didn’t choose their name.
  • Their name only matches ONE pronoun they use, not ALL of a given person.
  • Their first person and third person pronouns aren’t the same.

Think of the line “I am Gandalf, and Gandalf means me.” Ai would say “I am Ai, and Ai means me”, which sounds odd but hey ho. You would say “Drag is Drag, and Drag means drag”, which is borderline nonsense.

Yes, but I don’t see how that’s relevant here.

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.

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.

I don’t think money has any effect on it. Some billionaires are willing to keep to themselves and roll in their money pit. Some billionaires try to buy the white house and publish a book with their face on it. If they don’t care what people think, they’re wasting a lot of money on something they don’t care about.

Okay, my conspiracy is that this is a conspiracy by Elon so people think he’s an evil genius instead of the bumbling, idea-stealing moron with an inflated budget that he really is.

The only reason Bluesky isn’t more active is because it isn’t as active, which is becoming less of an issue by the day. And I STILL see activists gathering on twitter.

No, they can be all those things at the same time. Heck, it helps to be all three.

It was narcissism that made Musk want to buy twitter, but stupidity that made him think it would stop people from mocking him. And he came up with naming it X, so that’s more evidence.

The only reason the world didn’t realise he was an idiot sooner was because he had enough money to buy the ideas of smarter people.

If you REALLY want shenanigans, have them make an int or wis saving throw with DC 2 to remember nobody is up there holding the rope.

You know, he’s something of a scientist himself.
