Screenshot of a Tumblr post by indigosfindings:

imagine if someone just like started addressing you as Dipshit, like youre just talking about your day & they say “no way Dipshit, that’s crazy.” and then maybe you say to them that you would prefer not to be addressed as Dipshit & their response is “well in my major metropolitan area ‘Dipshit’ is not considered an insult. im not saying i think youre stupid when i call you Dipshit, i call my mom dipshit all the time” so you say Thats cool but please dont call Me that. and then they just repeat that it’s something they say daily, they call all of their best friends & lovers dipshits & are called dipshit in return. “my grandma calls me dipshit at the dinner table, it doesnt mean anything.” so you say Yes i understand that your friends & grandma arent bothered by being called Dipshit but i am, & i would prefer if you didnt address me as that. and they say “it’s literally not possible for me to stop calling you dipshit, and it’s not reasonable for you to ask me to, dipshit.” anyway this post is about nothing in particular

      Drag’s never said “you” is a slur, drag doesn’t even require that people use drag’s preferred pronouns.

      People just get embarrassed to be misgendering drag on their own and get upset with drag about it.

          You can’t call Drag by drag’s preferred pronouns? Hell that one is easy to remember tbh.

          A person who refers to themselves in the third person in one hand.

          Nazis in the other.

          You’d pick Nazis?

            Drag uses person independent pronouns, drag isn’t a nickname.

            This might help you understand why someone who is okay with Nazis hates drag.

              This would be the easiest libel win in history since I run multiple pages dedicated 100% to antifascism. A smart person would at the very least edit this comment to say anything else that couldn’t lose them a very expensive court case.

            It isn’t third person (this comes from asking drag about it a while ago), they (edit: er drag) treat drag as an actual neopronoun. Technically if there are infinite pronouns and neopronouns are valid, then it is just as much of a valid neopronoun as any other noun-self pronoun like kitten/kittenself, doll/dollself, or yes, drag/dragself. Below I’ve linked the wikipedia page for neopronouns, see the section labeled noun-self pronouns.
