There’s no removed comments. I looked through my profile cause like sometimes I just be saying shit so I was okay maybe. But I can’t find any comments on that community. Just the old 196.

Idk if this is where to post this but I just wanted to rant. It’s my first time ever being banned so it felt ouch.

      Wait, this goes back to the “trolls don’t deserve pronouns” thing?

      Was the mod team really expecting people to move out of Blahaj using a “pronouns are deserved” rhetoric?

        It goes back to the “Saying dragons aren’t real is a bannable offense” thing, yes.

          Except that is a variation of “trolls don’t deserve pronouns” it’s very much trying to say that without actually saying it. Kind of like saying “Is it offensive to say a trans woman doesn’t have a cervix?”. The answer is yes to both. They can see through what you’re doing and Blahaj isn’t very tolerant of these “just asking questions” or “just spitting facts” arguments which often have a deeper meaning, that is transparently obvious to both parties.

          TL;DR YDI or rather They Deserve It.

          I was and still am very frustrated by how they handled the situation with dragonfucker to be clear since that asshole harassed me twice with alt accounts and flooded my DMs with porn (yuck), though that doesn’t excuse these shitty arguments about pronoun validity. In fact they actually make it worse because instead of calling out dragonfucker for the things that matter (harassment, sealioning, misinformation) they chose to complain about pronouns and make dragonfucker look like a reasonable person. Fuck those people who did that and honestly fuck you for defending them in any way. If it wasn’t for them in a vast majority whining about pronouns dragonfucker would likely have been seen for what they are by more people, instead of as a victim who needs to be helped.

            I never misgendered Drag. I always tried to use Drag’s pronouns.

            That did not mean I was about to accept that “Dragon” or “Dragonfucker”, two things relating to something which, by an objective standard, does not exist, is a gender.

            But apparently that’s too radical.

            Of course. It’s anyone’s fault except the people who rallied around obvious trolls because they’re part of the ‘in-group’ of the community. Those of us who objected to dragons not being real were the REAL villains, we FORCED everyone to rally around Drag as Drag made literal attack helicopter memes. Also, we forced them to defend the conservative attack helicopter meme too. We are truly the most dastardly of manipulators.

              I love how you’re still sitting here trying to defend queerphobic talking points or somehow say that the rallies of idiot lemmy.world users who swarmed to complain about pronouns are somehow not in the wrong here. Everyone there just talked shit about pronouns and why dragonfucker was a troll because of them. Average anti-neopronouns and anti-xenogender discourse, which I don’t blame people for dismissing as gatekeeping, it is gatekeeping. and the fact that you’re trying to defend it shows that you don’t understand the real problem. Ultimately it doesn’t matter much anyway because they were banned for bad faith trolling behavior anyway, but the point I made about blatant queerphobia making a bad situation worse remains.

              Anyway this is very off topic for the post so I think this should be the end of our discussion.

                I apologize for acknowledging reality in the midst of trying to turn gender into fantasy roleplay.

                  I have no respect for people who blatantly and openly gatekeep gender identity to this degree, like seriously this is as bad as the transphobic garbage you see on BBC. See you later, transphobic troll.

                  @[email protected] Might want to take a look at this, seems you missed one in the last sweep of gatekeepers.

                    Draconic, thank you for being reasonable. I am sorry Drag was a massive asshole to you, but I am thankful you don’t misgender Drag despite you being a victim of Drag’s antics.

                    Meanwhile PJ has had… nothing done to them, and wants to rally around the flag of “I’m the only sane person, the queers got too much for me!”

                    Like I said. We’re at the point where you’re quite literally and explicitly supporting old conservative talking points, because at some point you decided that gender had no lines, and thus, no meaning.
