Love how drag lives rent free in your head. Seriously, get a hobby dude, obsessing about a trans person this much is not healthy.

At any point you could have simply blocked drag, but no, engaging with drag is so much better, isn't it? Now you've made posts upon posts and comments upon comments about how blahaj is weird, about how drag does not deserve to have drag's pronouns respected, and how admins/mods/whatever on blahaj are bad.

To what end? To tell the greater user base that your opinion is superior? To make it known that drag is weird and in turn potentially cause drag to be harassed? To have the admins and mods be harassed? To have individual users with non-standard pronouns harassed?

You say you don't care and wish Blahaj well, but your posts and comments say otherwise. My friend, it might not have been your goal, but your posts and comments are rather inciting in nature, people will get harassed because of you.

I mean, I'm a Taurus, a gamer (ttrpg kind, i don't use the gamer word), and identify more with cats than dogs, but none of that is gender related nor gets it's own pronouns. heck I'm a transhumanist so i fully get the desire to not be human, but its all a little dumb imo ┐(シ)┌

That said, i just ignored the guy you're talking about and enjoyed more interesting conversations. Like the topic of pronouns in general! We absolutely could use better ones

Personally I blocked the guy a long time ago

I didn't even know what was going on around here until I dug into it and found the source the situation

PJ is a smug neolib who hates anyone but the status quo.

Ay bro who cares.

If you enjoy debating this stuff find that space.

If you are bothered by it let it go.

If someone can't be weird on the Internet when can they be weird? Like let people do their thing man

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?

Dude you don't gotta announce your departure

Let me know where you end up, I always feel like walking on thin Ice here.

Going to see if 196 on .world is available.

what a way to start a drama over a fucking joke

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

What exactly was the issue with my posts? Just curious

Edit apparently gatekeeping and trans med stuff. That’s…a misinterpretation, but it’s okay whatever, lol
