    He’s talking about himself in the third person. Drag is not as funny or as intriguing as Drag thinks he is.

      I checked out their other comments and yes: it is quite cringe.

      @dragonfucker@lemmy.nz if you claim that you’re not speaking in the third person of yourself, you should stop conbugating your verbs in the third person.

        Elliot Page uses he/they pronouns. They were the lead actor in the movie Juno.

        Drag wonders if you think drag has just conjugated that verb as if Elliot were more than one person.

          It is neither established nor at all how english works. You can’t just always call something by name only, this isn’t Japanese.

          I/you/they is established, same as I/you/he or I/you/she. English is designed around pronouns. Even if what you did was more common, it would still cause massive confusion and make the English language not work properly.

          If you wanna be innovative, use I/you/Drag or something, that might still work.
          Where only 3rd person pronouns are not used.
          Drag does not understand how languages are used, Drag should really think about practicality.
          I still think even that is too impractical. Pronouns are used to communicate that the subject or object has not changed, information you have to process out yourself if pronouns are missing.

              “Drag” isn’t a pronoun. You don’t use it as a pronoun. You use it as a name for yourself, which is literally not what a pronoun is.

              If you’d be *reallyy against a neutral pronoun, you’d be up our asses adressing you with “you” all the time.

              You just want to be weird for its’ own sake.

      Drag does not use he/him pronouns. Drag doesn’t like it when you misgender drag. Drag is a trans AMAB person who has trauma from being he/himed most of drag’s life. Drag asks that if you cannot respect drag’s nonbinary identity, you could at least respect drag’s trans identity at the most basic level.

        how about this?

        They’re talking about themselves in the third person. They are not as funny or as intriguing as they think they are.

          Drag would not be personally offended by that. Drag is shocked that there are still people who haven’t been taught to they/them strangers on the internet. Drag despairs at the state of modern education.
