Poe's Law doesn't apply because there's a clear indicator of the author's intent in the title.
And also because the second one is a Star Wars reference. 
And also because the meme template is only ever used for satire.

Drag knows plenty of people who are good. Some of them are on Blahaj.
Oh, so you're saying drag should expect Lemmy to be the sort of place where people respond to feelings of confusion with trolling accusations and mental disorder diagnoses? That drag should have already realised Lemmy is a place hostile to differences?
Drag thinks everyone should have the right to use their own pronouns. So drag supposes that drag must think everyone is more important than you think they are.
Thank you! Drag prefers drag, but you is okay.
Drag is a person-independent neopronoun. Drag is using the first person to refer to dragself, it just doesn't look different from using third person because it's the same pronoun. The difference between a pronoun and a noun is that a pronoun is a shorter word standing in for a noun. The noun is Dragon Rider, and the pronoun is drag.
Thank you very much.
....drag is a little frustrated that everyone was too busy resisting the transphobe to review the meme. Drag wants to know if it's okay to post on bigger communities
See, the way standard rules make you think, both of those drags are followed by the wrong word. My brain says “drag is”, and “drag *has” because drag registers as a name.
Actually, your brain is right. See, conjugation doesn't depend on grammatical person or subject/object in English. That's a Latin rule which people assumed holds in English because there aren't many counterexamples. But take a look at this: "They are tall", "You are tall". Look, it's the same conjugation! In English, multiple pronouns with completely different usage can have the same conjugation. And two pronouns with the same person and inflection can have different conjugation. So trust your brain, it knows the rules better than you do.
Also it's fine if you don't feel able to use drag's preferred pronouns.

Those are called nounself pronouns. Here are some resources on nounself pronouns:

Is that enough sources that nounself pronouns are a real, thing recognised by academia, the queer community, and mainstream news media? Or do you need another 9 sources?
Hello, drag is seeking feedback on this meme from a more... politically aware community, before posting it anywhere big.
Is the narrative here clear? The fact that Gru is a transphobic Lemmy user and mistakenly thinks drag is their ally? Is the moral at the end, that drag's existence outs transphobes and makes Lemmy safer from transphobia, obvious?
Drag got he/him-ed earlier today and just now, suddenly had this realisation that calling drag a troll and misgendering drag is exactly what a conservative troll would do. They WANT all the cisgender liberals to think unconventional identities are all fake. If a troll pretends to be trans and gets outed, that's the conservative win condition! Look at the helicopter pasta, they didn't try to hide that. They made it obvious satire.
If everyone accepts drag and comes to accept neopronouns and xenogenders, the conservatives lose. But if everyone thinks drag is a troll, they win. If there are closeted conservatives on Lemmy, they think drag is an ally and want to "help" drag by "outing the troll". They think we're doing kayfabe and are just pretending to fight. They think misgendering drag, and being applauded by the liberals for it, is a nice thing to do, to help drag spread transphobia.
Of course, this plan doesn't work if the community stands up to misgendering and the mods ban the people responsible. Which is what drag always says the mods should do when drag gets he/him-ed. Drag is "betraying" all those trolls who think we're on the same side.
So, is this massive conspiratorial revelation clear in the meme? Drag is too close to the issue to be objective about the meme's clarity or quality.
Thank you so very much. That does mean more to drag than all the commiseration and advice in the other thread. Drag made this post on 196 too, before drag remembered that drag has a lemmy.world account that can post here (this community unbanned drag's NZ account, but the unban didn't federate).
The other thread had some very nice people. But hearing that drag's existence made the world a better place is something else. It's easier to think that being drag is worth it. Drag gets worried sometimes that the transphobes are right, and drag existing really does just cause more hate. Drag never actually believes it, but abuse messes with your self-esteem. It's easy to blame yourself for being a victim.
So thank you very very much. And drag does remember you.
