Agreed, but I also kind of like it? It’s a fun cringe, if that’s a thing.

They’ve been inconveniencing me by following me around and harassing be because they didn’t understand my simple point that ‘they’ applies to all humans.

They harassed me over calling Caillou ‘he.’ As in the cartoon toddler. Seriously.

They also object to people using the word ‘you’ to address them, which is fucking stupid.

If someone is so socially inept and surrounded by equally socially inept people who don’t call out this behavior, then it’s possible they don’t have anyone who is part of society at large that would inform them of how their actions will be perceived by most members of the public.

I’m not commenting because it hurts me in any way. I’m commenting because this person is going to have a relatively difficult life socially if they continue with the behavior they currently exhibit.

The gut-reaction to call someone cringe is a natural expression of the human desire to conform to social norms. They are insecure about their own differences so they enforce conformity in others by trying to humiliate them, the way they have been. In a strange way they could see it as helping them to avoid further humiliation. They’re saying “cut it out” with an implied “or else people will not accept you.” It’s pure instinct.

Drag isn’t referring to dragself in third person.

What do you call it then? Because that’s what’s happening here

Unless “drag” refers to someone/thing else entirely, which context heavily implies otherwise

I think the assumption that people who engage in unconventional means of expression are attention-seeking speaks to a common insecurity people have about receiving negative attention themselves. They’re reflecting the social pressure to conform that they already surrendered to.

You can strap a watermelon to your neck and call it whatever you want, but don’t expect others to mistake that for a personality.
