Sadly I think there are people out there like this

    Every time I see you refer to yourself that way, I want to gouge my eyes out.

    Firstly, we don’t consent to engaging with your dragon kink. I’ve seen your comments that reaffirm that this is the core of your ‘identity’. Your screen name is another clear example. Leave us out of this “Dragon Rider” nonsense - I don’t care what your kinks are, keep it private without consent.

    Second, why do you still use third person perspective here? Your bio clearly states that “Drag” works in the first, second, and third person, so why leave it in third person instead of speaking about yourself in first person? You are writing in english, right? Or is this Dragspeak/Dragtongue/[some other fantasy bullshit]?

    If you’re going to make up rules, put on an act, then submit everyone else to it, at least try thinking through it for longer than a few seconds. I get the feeling you never properly considered how poorly “Drag” works in first person. “Drag keep Dragself happy by exposing unconsenting strangers to Drag own dragon kinks!” Perhaps that’s part of it: adopting a lizard’s attention span.

      Grr. So if you didn’t consent, and drag didn’t consent, then who the heck made you write literal paragraphs wherein you engage with drag’s sexuality? It sure wasn’t this one. Maybe you should take some time to think about why you want to harm yourself and go on hate rants just for seeing different gender expressions than your own.

        Oh no, I hurt two dragon-sexuals with one comment! Your argument is stupid. If someone repeatedly injects their foot fetish into unrelated conversations and I write a comment of a similar nature about the foot fetish material, does it really take someone to make me write about it? No, it doesn’t, I’m entitled to say what I want about it, and it’s reasonable to bring up the issue at hand.

        How else do you want me to address it? Jfc.

        People who identify as dragons or wolves cause the same kind of harm as “I identify as an attack helicopter” jokes. You are delegitimizing HUMAN gender issues so you can fictionally identify with a fictional creature.

          Drag and drag’s dragon are simply heterosexual. Drag is a dragon rider, it is a dragon. We are opposite genders and are attracted to each other. What does Your Grace have against straight people?

      Drag’s pronoun is not only inflected the same way in all grammatical persons, but also conjugated the same way. This is how drag’s pronoun is conjugated in first person.

        Yes, and Your Grace’s (my) pronoun is “Your Grace,” also always inflected and conjugated in whichever way is convenient to Your Grace.

        You mean to suggest that the first person and third person of your pronouns are conjugated exactly the same. So the sentence “Drag’s pronoun is Drag” exists as the first, second, AND third person version of the statement. At that point, what is the point of having distinctions in perspective? It almost seems like your system of pronouns changes the grammar of the language into a different version of the language… hmm…

          Drag will respect Your Grace’s pronouns, but please don’t capitalise drag’s pronoun. Drag’s pronoun uses normal capitalisation, though drag respects Your Grace’s preference for capitalised pronouns.
