If someone wanted me to use "Idiot" as their pronoun, I'd say no because they're almost certainly one of those attack-helicopter types who's just doing the whole thing for a giggle.

To be honest, before now reading this discussion, I had thought people who wanted to be called "it" also fit into that category of making fun of people's gender identities by identifying as an attack helicopter, as well. So I would have refused to call people "it" for the exact same reason that you wouldn't use "idiot" as someone's pronoun.

Thanks to this conversation, I've been corrected, now, but past-me still thought the way past-me thought.
