You refer to yourself as "Drag", which I understand is short for "Dragon". And given your proclivities towards dragons, I have to assume this is intentional. So, yes, you are referring to yourself by your name, or at least a nickname.
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.
The problem is that you don't know what a pronoun is. You should try writing a sentence with common pronouns first and see if your sentence makes any grammatical sense. For instance "is to understand that..." doesn't work, because "is me/I to understand" doesn't work. You would instead say "Am drag to understand", which while sounding a bit odd is at least actually writing in English.
Quit arguing with drag about drag's pronouns. Drag doesn't want to justify dragself.
There are people named Yuu, Mi and Ai. However:
Think of the line "I am Gandalf, and Gandalf means me." Ai would say "I am Ai, and Ai means me", which sounds odd but hey ho. You would say "Drag is Drag, and Drag means drag", which is borderline nonsense.
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?
Yes, Hee-ctor
Okay, how about He-Man? Is He-Man not allowed to use he/him pronouns?
Lmao...now I'm picturing He-Man talking like a caveman by replacing all of his personal pronouns with "He-Man"...but not conjugating the verbs as if he were speaking in the third-person.
Love it!
That would be very different to drag's pronouns, because drag uses drag/dragself pronouns.
But you did conjugate your verbs that way
No, drag has conjugated verbs relating to drag's pronouns like this.
Not every time! Haha
