Edit: I also just got banned for apparently being a troll. Me. Not the person they believe to be a dragon though.

    YUP. no notes. i see no shortage of “i’m blocking you now” in comment replies to other people. it’s two easy clicks to block a single divisive user. why not drag?

    because you all clearly enjoy the drama. you wanted to flex your rejection muscles in the face of clearly stated rules in a community space that was not designed for you. enjoy! yall brought this on yourselves.

      You’re acting like this is a bunch of posters getting together to dogpile on poor drag instead of a bunch of posters being upset at the actions and statements of the admin.

        i’m referring to the drama preceding this, as was the person i was responding to.

        i personally also have qualms with the actions of the mods, but i still find it to be hella cringe how so many people saw fit to just feed the situation more and more instead of just leaving it the fuck alone as you and i have.

          Ah. No comment on that. Like I said, I’ve barely even seen drag around lately, much less interacted with them.

          I know reading comprehension isn’t your strong point, but the “bunch of posters” mentioned is quite clearly in the context of those objecting to the admins backing dragonfucking as an identity.

            That’s heavily ironic. Considering drag has actual comments about this,

            Dragon Rider, actually, not dragonfucker. And drag isn’t mad that you misremembered.

            If you’re going to claim someone has bad reading comprehension maybe don’t fuck up your own first? And that’s not drag’s pronouns, that’s drag’s name. Maybe you can guess drag’s pronouns from this post? (Hint Dragon Rider has it in parenthesis next to their name)

              Because drag uses first person neopronouns. Drag’s drag/dragself pronouns are person independent. They’re inflected and conjugated the same way in all grammatical persons. They represent drag’s identity as a dragon rider.

              Drag rides dragons and also “rides” dragons

              Drag has made REPEATED comments that ‘rider’ is to be interpreted in both senses.

              Dragonfucker is also the literal fucking handle, genius. Jesus H. Christ.

              And that’s not drag’s pronouns,

              I’m not talking about their pronouns, though I guess that’s a distinction that requires a level of literacy several grades higher than you’re operating at; I’ve explicitly stated this multiple times in this thread.

                Why. Do you. Caaaaaare?

                You don’t seem to get it. You don’t question someone’s identity. Period. No ands, ifs or buts. You do not get to decide if someone’s identify is valid. You are an asshole and you are not an ally for doing it.

                This is why trans people (at least the ones I know) unironically tend to avoid hanging out with cis people. Cis people think they’re entitled to telling other people how they can identify.

                  I’m sorry for thinking dragons don’t exist. I’ll go for a struggle session at the first opportunity to repent of my sins.

                  Literally like talking to children. Throwing a fit over not being called a dragon. Insane.

                    Christ, you’d lose your mind if you ever stepped into the furry community. The therians would give you an aneurysm.

                    Once again, you do not get to say whether or not someone’s identity is valid. It doesn’t matter how “real” you perceive their identity to be. You are a bigot for doing so.

                    Also, you can literally just block drag and pretend drag doesn’t exist. Just don’t respond to drag. Don’t talk to drag. Don’t refer to drag. You could just do that, but instead you’ve decided to be a bigot.

                  So my drunk Republican uncle is actually an attack helicopter? I thought that was just political rhetoric and poor taste hyperbole, but I suppose I should respect his identity and also try to limit my thermal signature and seek heavy cover from above.

                Someone can call themselves the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea. That doesn’t make them a democracy. And drag literally told you what to call them. Stop grasping at new ways to be wrong. It’s getting ridiculous.

            I don’t give a fuck about drag really. What drag does and says is up to drag. Drag has a different and challenging identity. The instance mod was applying the rules around identity here, and it seems cis people in here are pissed because they don’t think drag’s identity is valid.

              … yes. Being a dragon is not something you can be. Dragons do not exist, much less is there the capacity for a human being to be one.

              I can’t believe that this is really a point of contention.

                Having different chromosomes is also not something you can do.

                You might argue, that people with chromosomes different from yours exist. This is irrelevant tho, because neither can you change your chromosomes nor can you rule out someone genetically engineers a fantasy style dragon one day.

                (PS: I should maybe note that I have the dragon person blocked for different reasons tho)

                You do understand that pronoun use and (gender) identity aren’t necessarily linked, right?

                The existence of dragons has no weight on the validity of drag’s pronouns.

                  Drag has explicitly stated their gender identity, numerous times before. Like I said, this isn’t about ‘drag’ as a cutesy ‘xe/xim’ equivalent.

      Yeah, they don’t block drag because drag is their golden ticket to express their transphobic views while pretending it’s just about drag. Their real reaction to drag is:
