That’s the correct answer. This “drag” business has to do with this individuals kink of sex with dragons, as alluded to in their bio. I’m not kink shaming, but it is bad form to force others to participate in your kink without consent, even in a nonsexual context. Honestly, I’m not entirely sure they aren’t a troll.
Drag doesn’t want to be referred to gender neutrally. Drag wants drag’s gender affirmed. It isn’t hard. You’re going to all this effort to switch between “you”, “they”, and “them” based on complicated grammatical context rules, when you could just use a single pronoun in all cases. You’re going to all this effort to inflect pronouns that drag doesn’t want. Drag just wants you to take it easy and use a single pronoun. Why make things hard for yourself just so you can make them hard for drag too?
Everyone uses they/them pronouns. They/them are gender-neutral. That applies to you as much as everyone else on the planet.
I really get that you want to control how others use language. That’s not your call.
Drag doesn’t use “you” pronouns either. Drag uses drag/dragself pronouns in all grammatical persons.
Cool. I’m still calling you ‘you’ and ‘they’ because that’s how English works.
They are gender-neutral words.

I am not a moderator in this community, the rules here are not my call.
Also, there is no situation in which they/them is a pejorative. Unlike ‘pedant,’ which is literally a pejorative.
Are you going to follow me from thread to thread harassing me? Shall I alert the Lemmy administrators?
I’m just replying to you, I saw a relevant post in your replies, so I responded
So then yes, I should alert the Lemmy administrators if you keep following me from thread to thread.
