Dragon "Rider" @lemmy.nz

Xi rides dragons and also "rides" dragons. xi/drag person-independent pronouns. That means xi's pronouns are the same in first, second, and third person.

Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible
  • Doesn't need to be a race to have racism against it. Racism can be against perceived race or racialised characteristics. Michael Jackson got his skin disorder racialised and suffered racism because of it. People accused him of trying to become white. Logic doesn't factor into racism.

  • Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible
  • Drag thinks there are probably people who are racist against Finns. Americans were taught to think white people are one race, but that's not what people in Europe believe. Drag looked it up on Wikipedia's List Of Ethnic Slurs and found two slurs against Finns. One invented by Americans and one invented by Russians.

    Banning all Finns or all Congolese would both be racist.

  • Xi is a social justice warrior. Xi is also a dragon rider who uses spells and magic weapons in battle with the forces of evil. Xi would forgive someone who was closed minded enough to think xi doesn't exist.

  • Xi liked Harry Potter, but even xi can see the slavery defence was weird. Xi always wondered why the good guys never tried fixing the socioeconomic problems that made the goblins and giants support Voldemort.

  • Xi can point out that psychologists have looked at mental health trends in communities with slaughterhouses. When a new slaughterhouse opens and people start working there, depression, alcoholism, addiction, sleep problems, violent crime, and domestic abuse go up. Make a man do violence all day for a living, and he starts to think violence is a valid way to solve problems.

    You should look up Bloodywood.

    In July of the same year, Bloodywood partnered with online counselling site HopeTherapy and released the song "Jee Veerey", dedicated to fighting depression and mental illness.[14][15] On 15 January 2019, the band released "Endurant", a song dealing with the topic of bullying.[4]

    Along with the messages included in their songs, the band aims to support various social/charity causes. With the release of the video for their song "Jee Veerey", they gave away pre-paid online counselling sessions.

    Upon returning to India from their 2019 European tour, Bloodywood donated the earnings to Posh Foundation, a local NGO that cares for homeless animals, for the purchase of a new ambulance.[22]

  • Can't set pronouns in display name
  • Xi doesn't like Hexbear's record on trans issues. Xi thinks the average hexbear user is the kind of person who brags about supporting binary transes while oppressing anyone who's a little bit more different than they're used to. Xi thinks they would call drag a delusional troll. Also xi is an anarchist and Hexbear doesn't like that very much.

  • Can't set pronouns in display name
  • Xi messed up counting the characters. Looks like Lemmy's character limit is 20, not 22. Display names are good for special characters. Lemmy doesn't allow special characters in usernames because it messes up the URLs. Xi wanted to be Dragon "Rider", but Lemmy doesn't allow quotes in usernames. Luckily, quotes are allowed in displaynames, so xi took dragonfucker for a username and Dragon "Rider" for a display name.

  • Can't set pronouns in display name
  • It's thank drag, since xi is the object of your sentence. You're doing something to drag, which is thanking. If you'd say he or she, xi's pronoun is xi. If you'd say him or her, it's drag. Thank you for being curious.

  • Can't set pronouns in display name

    Xi wants to experiment with using xi/drag person-independent pronouns on this account. So far xi likes using the pronouns, but xi's only written 4 comments and already someone accused drag of talking about Chinese politics when xi mentioned dragself. Xi knows xi's pronouns are confusing, so xi would like to put xi's pronouns in xi's displayname to clear things up.

    But the character limit for display names on lemmy.nz is only 22 characters, and xi's handle already takes up 16 characters. Xi would need 24 characters to put xi's pronouns in xi's display name. Xi knows some instances also have a separate field for pronouns, and the pronouns get displayed next to the name without taking up displayname characters. Xi would like a place, or at least enough room, for xi's pronouns, please.
