Yesterday drag was accosted by someone who insisted, despite being able to read drag’s username, that drag’s name was drag and therefore drag can’t be drag’s pronoun. No amount of logic made a difference. So drag told them to leave drag alone.

What did he like about Trump?

Drag liked the first half better. Drag came for the cooking. Drag thinks the second half has too much drama. Drag likes the kitty, though.

No, drag has conjugated verbs relating to drag’s pronouns like this.

That would be very different to drag’s pronouns, because drag uses drag/dragself pronouns.

Okay, how about He-Man? Is He-Man not allowed to use he/him pronouns?

Quit arguing with drag about drag’s pronouns. Drag doesn’t want to justify dragself.

Drag wonders whether you’ve changed your mind about LLMs being statistical models, or whether you’ve decided there’s no such thing as LLMs.

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?

Drag chooses to respect your identity as a non-statistical model. Drag’s opinions are not as important as the way you feel, and drag will make an effort to avoid upsetting you by referring to you in the wrong way.

A human is a kind of statistical model, so drag’s comment does not imply any specific amount of humanity, either small or large.

You are a statistical model, and drag does not go around telling people you are not sentient.

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.

Here’s a relevant thread: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/25502917

You shouldn’t complain about not seeing displaynames after choosing an app that doesn’t show displaynames. Unless you plan to complain to the developers and request the option.

Drag can see that you have configured Lemmy to show usernames instead of displaynames. Drag’s username is dragonfucker. Drag suggests learning how to use Lemmy properly before calling people who understand the software better than you liars.

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.

Drag thinks that if your opinion is that treating things like otherkin is anthropomorphisation, then you must be anthropomorphising otherkin.

Drag’s pronoun is in brackets in drag’s display name. Drag wonders why you choose to complain to other people about your own decision not to read the things on your screen.

Drag is not going third person. Drag is using first person neopronouns. Drag is happy to teach you about grammar structures you’re unfamiliar with. Drag prefers drag’s pronouns over gender neutral pronouns like “I” because drag’s gender is not neutral.

In Japan, there are multiple first person pronouns depending on the speaker’s identity and indeed the specifics of their current social situation. Like watashi, boku, and ore. Drag is doing that.

Drag does not anthropomorphise anything! Drag resents that accusation. Drag has spoken with many otherkin who are entirely inhuman and still deserving of love and respect. Drag treats AI like those. Not like a human.
