I’ve seen a few users who use phonetic symbols or something alike in their posts and comments. What’s the point?

    I enjoyed drag as well

    Took me way too long trying to figure out how that has anything to do with the topic at hand.

    It’s been a while since I’ve seen Drag. I wonder if Drag is okay.

      Yeah, I don’t know if it was a bit, a troll, if they were really like that, or whatever, but other than the unorthodox pronouns, there was nothing different about talking to them. Always positive interactions with them. I hated seeing everyone here dogpile on them, as I thought a big upside of this place was supposed to be letting people just be who/what they want to be. Never saw them be rude to anyone, just asked to be called Dragonfucker/rider depending on the time period and to use drag in the place of any pronoun. With some phrasings it sounded odd, so I took it as a creative writing exercise to format my responses in a way the language flowed better. I just thought it was shitty how people couldn’t just ignore them if they didn’t want to humor drag. I don’t know if they took it serious or not, but I’d rather know I’m not being shitty to someone that is either having innocent fun, or may have some severe emotional or mental issues. We’re all real people on the other side of the screen.
