Dragon "Rider"(drag)

Drag rides dragons and also “rides” dragons. drag/dragself person-independent pronouns. That means drag’s pronouns are the same in first, second, and third person.

    Then the people whose votes don’t matter electorally decide that the popular vote isn’t relevant, so they don’t bother.

    Hey guys! If Kamala wins the popular vote by >70% but loses the election, there will be riots. There could be a revolution. And she has the numbers to do that if you guys could just vote.

    Don’t forget the fake communists bragging that they won’t support genocide and that’s why they’re not voting.

    Hey, socialism angels: do you drive a car? Do you emit carbon dioxide that is projected to cause 1 billion deaths, mainly in poorer countries, by 2050? If so, why do you support genocide? You refuse to support genocide one day every 4 years, but actively participate the other 1460?


  • at the end of the day it’s really not our/drag’s job to drag people kicking and screaming into enlightenment

    Drag believes that all sapient beings have an ethical duty to help others. Participation in society is on some level endorsement. We pay our taxes to governments that use them for war and cruelty. We live in homes that were deforested to make way for suburbs. Drag lives on land stolen from indigenous people. We drive cars to work, and eat meat. Our current society is one that is designed in such a way as to make our existence harmful. To twist apathy into evil. Therefore, we can’t afford to be apathetic. We have to be political, to make up for all the evil that is done in our names. Drag is vegan. Drag doesn’t drive. Drag protests for Palestine. Drag argues for medium density housing. Drag tries to support indigenous rights. Drag thinks all of that is the absolute bare minimum to even become a neutral person. Drag wants to be a good person, so drag does more than that.



  • Yes, exactly. Drag’s pronoun does follow all the rules of English, just not the conventions. This should make drag’s pronouns very easy to understand with an open mind, and very hard with a closed mind, or with a mind that’s never really thought about grammar before. Drag would expect that a professional linguist would have absolutely zero trouble adapting. Drag’s pronouns anger people who are less literate, because they confuse conventions for rules. (Literacy is not a binary. Literacy is a scale, and most adults stop learning at a relatively low level of literacy).

    When it comes to the anger that isn’t related to grammar, however - like lying that drag changed the subject in the thread, or lying that drag is demanding others use drag’s pronouns - that’s not confusion, that’s transphobia.

    Which, have they even said they’re trans before now?

    https://lemmy.nz/post/15737101

    the post seemed to be wanting discussion about that

    Mostly wanted to vent. People are horrible.

    What strikes drag about all of these comments is that they’re not just mean, they’re… dumb. People insisting their false memories of drag demanding they use drag’s pronouns are correct. People choosing not to use their heads. People inventing fake reasons for the ban (like saying drag changed the subject to drag’s pronouns) so they can still believe that attacking the trans person was justified. It never happened, but they confidently state it and get tons of upvotes. They want to believe it and so do most of the lurkers in the thread. Whatever they can fool themselves with to think that the trans person is mean and bad. Inventing a fake fight so they can make it real with their “retaliation”, whether it be a man, a he/him, calling drag a narcissist…
