minus-squarePyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 month agoMy interpretation here is the first person (I), second person (you), and third person (he/she/they) pronouns are disregarded and are all represented by the neopronoun “drag”. I.e. use drag whenever you reference dragonfucker and you’re golden.

minus-squareRain World: Slugcat Game@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agosame with swapping in ‘they’! i think most pronouns are singular, only ‘they’ is plural due to legacy junk, see: what does he want to do? what does drag want to do? what does the cat want to do? what do they want to do? what do the cats want to do? perhaps we should move towards singular they, eg ‘what does they want to do?’
