Comment on We need to go back! Back to the terminal!

Drag agrees with you. Drag just had a funny conversation recently about a particular Linux tool that had a desktop version and a CLI version, and drag was asked which drag wanted. Drag would personally prefer to use it on the CLI, though drag is glad the GUI exists. And then this meme popped into drag’s head.

Such a bizarrely stupid social experiment.

  No, GUI is actually great and opened up computers to billions more people.

    I think anyone reading this can gather that I’m referring to this “drag” nonsense. Not for one second has anyone believed you go around IRL requiring people to call you “drag”. It’s blatantly obvious that you’re just trolling because you think you can get away with it.

    Drag doesn’t require anyone to use drag’s preferred pronouns, online or in meatspace. But drag’s fiance @HonouraryDragon@lemmy.nz does gender drag correctly and so do drag’s friends.

Are you referring to yourself in the third person?

  No. Drag uses person-independent pronouns.

    You actually do frequently post in the third person. For a recent example, you said
    
    Drag thinks drag gets it, thanks!
    
    That is structured as a third person sentence. A first person version would be, “Drag think drag get it, thanks!” Basically, you don’t always conjugate for first person. Since your name/nickname and pronoun only differ by capitalization, though, neither form quite looks right in English.

    Why are you referring to drag in the third person???
    
    Just kidding! Drag understands that “you” is a second person pronoun. But you see, it uses the same conjugation as they/them pronouns. Since you think conjugation determines person, you’re forced to think that either they/them is second person or you is third person.
    
    Drag doesn’t have to worry about that, because drag knows there’s no relationship between conjugation and person. And now you do too.
