It’s a kind of trolling you don’t see as much these days, where you commit to the bit and pretend to be innocent to attract defenders. Dragonfucker is a total ass doing the “I identify as an attack helicopter” bit, but with dragons, insisting that the only correct pronoun to use is “drag”. Naturally, Dragonfucker was championed as being genuine by both other trolls and by the oblivious, but also by users who clearly didn’t buy it but were being willfully obtuse out of principle. Which was, of course, the point: humiliating progressives who are committed to respecting claimed identity no matter what, typical “dance monkeys! dance!” bullshit.
