discord.py: bot doesn't recognize author

enter image description here

When I type !gamer in a channel, this is what the bot responds with

enter image description here

Although my username is Dairy#6166. To confirm that this is message.author, I had the program print message.author when the code ran:

Yet the bot still doesn't recognize me and says that I'm not Dairy.

You must use message.author.name instead of message.author in your condition phrase.

The problem with your code is that message.author returns a member object (docs on member object) which, if converted to a string (which is done when you print it) returns the name. So you need to check message.author.name == "Dairy#6166" instead of message.author == "Dairy#6166"

Also for future questions you might be asking on stackoverflow, please don't just screenshot your code, but copy and paste it to the question.
