    Honestly, I didn’t care until the admins got involved. I’m not sure if I’ve ever mentioned drag in anything other than passing before this. Now that the admins are saying that denying that dragonfucker is a gender or that dragons exist is a removable and bannable offense? Not feeling like sticking around on Blahaj after that, unfortunately.

      It’s just not worth it imo. Easy to coexist around and not care

      I bet in regular conversation on the topic of dragons nobody is going to lose their shit about you reminding people a dragon is a mythical creature.

      But if you put it in context of this person it becomes mockery and that’s not cool.

        Likewise, in regular conversation on the topic of the earth, no one is going to lose their shit over me reminding people the world is round.

        But saying it to a flat-earther, it takes on a very different tone.

        But both of those examples fail to fully encapsulate what is being shown here - these posts in the OP? They’re all from a thread in which drag is not a participant, in a comm where drag is literally banned. This is not even “Don’t tell flat-earthers the earth is round”, this is “Don’t ever suggest that flat-earth isn’t valid”.

          don’t make marginalized people be more marginalized. I don’t see how it matters if it happens in another instance if I was spouting hateful rhetoric but didn’t do it here does that keep me safe?
