Julius Caesar was assassinated for wearing red boots. Barrack Obama was lambasted for wearing a tan suit. Purple is associated with royalty, white is associated with clergy, and gold is associated with superiority. Red and Blue have powerful meanings in America, and so does Green. Which colour is the most political in your opinion?

    Purple is probably the only one that I’m aware of on your list where there’s a legit logic behind it, since dyes used to be harder to come by

      Drag thinks maybe there’s a historical reason why white is associated with purity and black with sin, and it ain’t because of the price of dye.

      EDIT: Drag just wants to talk about colours, not have to defend drag’s identity!

          This guy’s gimmick is to speak about himself in the third person. You can safely block him.

            Drag does not identify as a guy and drag does not use he/him/himself pronouns. Drag would appreciate not being so blatantly misgendered.

                Did you just assume drag’s person? /Jk

                It doesn’t make sense to go 3rd person

                It does if one wants to be really annoying.

                  That’s what makes me think (hope) it’s a troll. Easily the most obnoxious annoying person on lemmy (maybe minus hexbear psychos)

                Drag is not going third person. Drag is using first person neopronouns. Drag is happy to teach you about grammar structures you’re unfamiliar with. Drag prefers drag’s pronouns over gender neutral pronouns like “I” because drag’s gender is not neutral.

                In Japan, there are multiple first person pronouns depending on the speaker’s identity and indeed the specifics of their current social situation. Like watashi, boku, and ore. Drag is doing that.

                  Also in Japan, if someone refers to themself with their own name, that’s seen as childish or arrogant.

                  If your first person pronoun is the same as someone referring to you in third person, then you are referring to yourself in third person every time you refer to yourself in first person. And since the idea of a first person neopronoun is exceedingly rare, most people will only think of you as speaking in the third person.

                    Drag is not referring to dragself by drag’s name. Drag is referring dragself by the pronoun “drag”, while drag’s name is Dragon “Rider”. Drag would like to remind you that drag’s name is perfectly visible on your screen and you can read it whenever you like, so you don’t need drag’s help to know what drag’s name is.

                  I think you’re desperately seeking attention or a right wing troll because you’re the most annoying person on lemmy

                Drag’s pronoun is in brackets in drag’s display name. Drag wonders why you choose to complain to other people about your own decision not to read the things on your screen.

                  Your gimmick doesn’t work, Drag. You’re even having tk say “Drag’s”, which is literally how third person possessive plurals work. Find another thing to draw attention.

                    Drag can see that you have configured Lemmy to show usernames instead of displaynames. Drag’s username is dragonfucker. Drag suggests learning how to use Lemmy properly before calling people who understand the software better than you liars.
