Mods take this down if it's too close to JAQing off territory.
Are they meant to be used like any other set of pronouns? What's the possessive form?

I don't remember if it's why Comrade/Them specifically exists in the list, but when we originally had the pronoun megathread/struggle session I among others requested there to be an option that signals acceptance/participation for those people who pronouns/gender etc. don't play a large role in self perception.
Right, that makes a lot of sense. Do you personally prefer for people to use "comrade" when referring to you in the third person though? If you don't think pronouns play a role in your self perception, are you ok with whatever? They/them?
I am an odd duck that has rarely cared what people refer to me by, whether it's pronouns or formal name. Yeah, I am generally okay with whatever so long as the person is using the chosen label respectfully. I can DM you more info if you're curious, but to be concise I'll say I have always perceived myself as myself, and have never found labels adequate enough for me to see myself as anything else.
Yeah, I'm the same way. I'm the child of immigrant parents who will still occasionally misgender me, not out of malice, but because they aren't always great with English pronouns. I don't care and I'm cool with people just calling me comrade.
Initially was an opsec thing, though, but I've admitted I'm a dirty cishet man already.
This is unrelated to anything here, but did you used to post on Sigmarxism on reddit? I recognize your user name from somewhere. I don't ham pretty much at all anymore these days because of Covid apathy from...everywhere, but I still love Tau & paint a lot and I really loved the "finkpieces" people posted before I stopped going to reddit for good.
Yup! Someone spun up a Sigmarxism community on Lemmygrad where I saw a few other oldheads posting but afaik it hasn't been overly active.
