I almost hate to ask this since it’s come up so much already, but what’s with the Dragon Rider drama? Like what’s going on

    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 🥱
