Five days ago, drag was banned from [email protected] for using neopronouns. A comment explaining dragās pronouns, and a comment saying ādragā isnāt a nickname, were removed with the reason ātrollingā. Drag understands why someone would think that using different pronouns than most people is trolling - transphobia. However, drag is confused how on earth not liking a nickname is a violation of any rules anywhere.
Context of the removed comments:
Drag would like to pre-empt any further accusations of trolling by asking a question: If drag were a right wing troll, and you chose to freely accept dragās pronouns, wouldnāt that completely neuter the trolling attempt? Trolling is about trying to make others upset. You donāt have to get upset when someone uses unusual pronouns. If you arenāt transphobic, then itās impossible to troll you that way. And drag promises: drag wants you to not be transphobic. Drag is not trying to upset anyone. If you do what drag wants you to do, then you get what you want too. This is a non-issue, thereās only a problem if you want there to be.
EDIT: DRAG DID NOT TELL ANYBODY TO USE DRAGāS PREFERRED PRONOUNS.

Trans rights are human rights and it takes almost zero effort to simply use someoneās preferred pronouns, even if you donāt understand the reason for it.

Thank you very much for posting this. Drag would also like to add that drag is perfectly fine with not having dragās pronouns used by others. Drag only made this post because of the ban, drag doesnāt want misgendering to be the topic of this thread.
A bunch of people in this thread decided to feel pressured to use dragās pronouns all on their own. Maybe thatās their consciences talking, drag doesnāt know. But theyāve decided to make it dragās problem and drag doesnāt want that. Drag just wants to be unbanned from the place with the funny politics.
No problem. And I might just take this opportunity to ping @[email protected] who unfairly accused me of being ātransphobicā simply for gently steering trans folks away from the Hexbear troll farm. Will she ever correct the ban reason to be ātankiephobicā? I honestly doubt it, but I guess there are PTBs everywhere right?
you do not speak for everyone. plenty of folks have SOME amount of compassion, what youāre doing is more akin to bullying.
yāknow generally opening comments with āNo one cares.ā is like, bully shit? at the very least itās petulant and childish.
Drag doesnāt care if the mod who did this uses dragās pronouns. Drag cares that drag was banned from a large community for no other reason than using the pronouns to refer to dragself. Drag never bullied anyone. Why do you think that drag asking to be allowed to exist in public is bullying? The comment youāre replying to is literally drag explaining that drag uses one syllable pronouns to save you time. Drag canāt win! No matter how simple drag makes dragās pronouns, no matter how polite, dragās existence somehow offends people. Drag just doesnāt get it.
