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?

    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.

            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.

              No, drag would say drag is Dragon “Rider”, and dragonfucker means drag.

              Drag is tired of listening to you being wrong about drag’s identity. Don’t you have to go be silly somewhere else?
