    But but but! Drag talks in third person, so what Drag says must be important! …right?

    …right?

      Eh, that’s weird but I’m cool with it. If they want that to be their pronoun, whatevs. But that doesn’t mean they understand the concepts of truth and fiction, since they apparently don’t.

        Nah they think it’s cool, and not realizing, or admitting, that it’s annoying and stupid.

          Everyone uses they/them pronouns. They/them are gender-neutral. That applies to you as much as everyone else on the planet.

          I really get that you want to control how others use language. That’s not your call.

              I am not a moderator in this community, the rules here are not my call.

              Also, there is no situation in which they/them is a pejorative. Unlike ‘pedant,’ which is literally a pejorative.

              Are you going to follow me from thread to thread harassing me? Shall I alert the Lemmy administrators?

              Cool. I’m still calling you ‘you’ and ‘they’ because that’s how English works.

              They are gender-neutral words.

                That’s the correct answer. This “drag” business has to do with this individuals kink of sex with dragons, as alluded to in their bio. I’m not kink shaming, but it is bad form to force others to participate in your kink without consent, even in a nonsexual context. Honestly, I’m not entirely sure they aren’t a troll.

                  You may not want gender-neutral terms to apply to you, but they do. That’s just a simple fact.

                  And it isn’t hard for me to use a gender-neutral pronoun. It’s quite easy.
