I used to think drag was just a troll account making fun of neopronouns, but I don’t think that’s accurate anymore. Dragon Rider used to go by Dragon Fucker and uses “drag” as drag’s only pronoun, and like I used to, a bunch of people thought drag was just a troll. But if it’s a bit then there’s nothing to the bit other than a weird pronoun, drag just seems like a decent person from what I’ve seen. Drag also made a very genuine looking post about drag’s struggles with mockery and disrespect, mainly from .world users and admins, and drag’s struggle to avoid self harm over it. I think Dragon Rider is a cool person and people (including me) should give drag the benefit of the doubt, or at least avoid drag and don’t be an asshole if you don’t like drag.
I think drag also once told someone who was feeling suicidal about the state of the world that they should fight rather than killing themself, and a bunch of people took it in cartoonishly bad faith and now say drag told someone to kill themself. Bc nothing screams “kys” quite like “don’t kys, you can do some good”
Didn’t that user literally tell someone if they’re suicidal to kill a red hat (trump supporter) and them themselves like come on.
Anyway they’re a troll, literally the blackface equivalent for transgender people.
How infuriated would you be if someone in blackface said you’re only offended at someone pretending to be black because you hate black people? And how more infuriated would you be if you got banned for racism for calling out someone in blackface? Switch black with transgender and now you see why everyone hates this user.
Again, I don’t see evidence drag’s a cis troll unless you take drag’s identity as evidence, and doing that is a real good way to wind up stuck and not accepting people you don’t understand. I’m nonbinary and not much makes me more angry or depressed than other trans people and “allies” saying I’m cis or that I’m responsible for trans people’s suffering. The amount of hurtful shit drag’s dealt with on lemmy must be a lot worse, and drag hasn’t done anything to deserve the amount of shit drag gets. If you have evidence that drag’s being disingenuous besides vibes lmk, otherwise quit equating identities you don’t understand or respect to blackface
So many randos on Tumblr with pronouns of aesthetics, emojis, animals, and fictional characters are just so normal about it. Oh, right, and most of them have “auxiliary sets” for those who would have an issue using these pronouns, and take no offense if someone prefers not to call them puddingself. I personally prefer not to, since I run the risk of dropping “puddingself” in a conversation and having to explain and I’d rather not explain an experience that isn’t mine. These people would often go by one or more micro identities that, while being very specific, still involve a relationship to the binary genders. While I don’t entirely get nonbinary I’m not going to go around assuming it’s all fake. However, “furry” is not an identity, marginalized group, or protected class, it’s a label for someone who engages in a hobby.
They’re also not deliberately starting shit, then calling everyone against them “transphobes”. They may get hate here and there for existing, but not for accusing people of being transphobic for being infuriated at constant gaslighting and reactive abuse.
Oh, right, they’re also not creating communities and accounts to harass other users by constantly @'ing them and sending unsolicited porn and dickpics.
You know, the things ultra far-gone conservatives accuse trans people of 🥱
