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

    Can’t believe someone claiming to be a dragon has got so much drama brewing

    if I had to pick a side I would frankly say that them claiming to be a dragon is self deception at best and intentional trolling at worst

    At least it’s a temporary ban, and the first rule for interacting with trolls is to not eat the bait

    Block the user, DNI, talk with a mod if need be

      They don’t claim to be a dragon, but a “dragon rider,” or “dragon fucker,” as it were. If this isn’t a troll, this individual is a voyeur and sex pest expecting the world to participate in their sexual arousal. I, for one, do not consent and will not participate.

      But apparently the position of the admins is that even questioning whether dragonfucker is a gender is, itself, against the rules.

          I think that dragonfucker isn’t a gender identity, because dragons aren’t real, and fucking is an action, not a gender.

              Neopronouns are hard for cis folks.

              The individual in question is not simply using ‘drag’ as a cutesy neopronoun replacement for ‘they’ or ‘xe’. They are literally claiming their identity as a dragon who has sex with dragons, as they insist on it.

                Glad you’re around to tell me what is and isn’t a valid neopronoun.

                EDIT: This was sarcasm. I’m not in unblocking this instance to explain that.

          You are debating that drag is an asshole and has an identity that is challenging for you, so it’s okay to completely disregard an instance rule. Correct me if I’m wrong.

          I’m saying that when I started posting on Blahaj, I didn’t realize that “Don’t offend people’s gender identities” meant “Dragons are real, and they post on this instance”

            Inclusion and Acceptance Embracing inclusion and acceptance means listening when people tell you who they are and what their needs are. It means not telling people that you know their experiences better than they do. It means not gatekeeping experiences of identities of others. It means no bigotry such as racism, sexism, anti LGBT commentary, ableism etc. It means doing your best to ensure that you don’t over-talk the voices of folk who don’t share your privileges.

            (Emphasis mine)

            Here’s the paragraph from that instance for you to reread. I see no “gender” in front of “identity”.

              Alright, let me rephrase - I didn’t realize that “Don’t offend people’s identities” meant “Dragons are real, and they post on this instance”

                  Yeah, that’s my reaction. I only posted there previously because I didn’t understand that “Don’t offend people’s identities” meant “We’re all playing make-believe here and you need to play along”; I thought it was about respecting trans and NB folk, who exist here in the real world, unlike fantastic creatures and those who identify themselves as having sex with them.

                    Hey, as long as you agree with the pronouns and identity that someone tells you they are, that’s what matters. If they don’t jive with you, they’re lying sacks of shit and aren’t to be taken seriously. (/s, but only because I know some people will believe that)
