Thereās no removed comments. I looked through my profile cause like sometimes I just be saying shit so I was okay maybe. But I canāt find any comments on that community. Just the old 196.
Idk if this is where to post this but I just wanted to rant. Itās my first time ever being banned so it felt ouch.
the biggest poster on 196 was banned for saying āi respect neopronouns BUT your policy of not allowing harassment for neopronouns isnāt for me and so i am preemptively leavingā while screaming stuff about how dragons arenāt real instead of just blocking and reporting offensive users as the mods explicitly asked.
to clarify. itās a bit worse than you express. :)
Wait, that was it?
nope, clarified some other details in an edit thanks for holding me accountable
You were quite clear that you regarded a cis person daring to express disagreement with someone who is trans as āentitlementā, that saying ādragons arenāt realā is āinvalidating behaviorā, and that thinking that dragons arenāt real is a form of thoughtcrime which expresses intent to not use neopronouns in the future
Question: If we found the skeletal remains of a dragon in east asia somewhere, would you then be fine with ādragonā as a neo-pronoun?
You seem to think this is self-evidently obvious.
At no point have I fought anyone on neopronouns.
But no, dragons not being real is compounded by the fact that human beings, by definition, are not dragons, in the same way that human beings are not attack helicopters. But apparently at some point that turned from āAttack Helicopter Gender is conservative talking point nonsenseā to āYou must respect Attack Helicopter Genderā
Jesus fucking Christ. Yes, it is obvious that dragons are not real. Thank you for reinforcing the utter disconnect from reality.

Why are you even choosing to engage in that point itās a worthless argument considering that whether a dragon is real or not they have tremendous cultural symbolism and nearly universal recognition. Itās a worthless argument to say dragons arenāt real so identification with a dragon is invalid. And really this is just one of those āis it offensive to say a trans woman doesnāt have a cervix argumentsā that you see transphobes try and do to test if itās taken transphobic or not and claim theyāre just playing around with facts and logic. In reality this kind of thing is just being testy to see how much people will tolerate, the answer is they donāt tolerate it when they see what the person is doing.
Good point
Donāt you think this kind of disrespectful to trans people when they actually experience real oppression for wanting to be who they are?
Do you think itās at all disrespectful to try and determine if another personās trans identity is valid or not? Oppression Olympics gatekeeping is still gatekeeping. TL;DR what youāre doing is incredibly disrespectful to trans people and isnāt appreciated in the majority of trans spaces.
@ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone Think I found another one of those unaccounted gatekeepers.
If we are assuming that ādragonā here, against all context and everything Drag actually said, actually meant āa specific species of monitor lizardā, that wouldnāt change the fact that human beings are not and cannot be monitor lizards.
Ohhh, so it doesnāt matter. I see.
You should just say āhuman beings are not lizards,ā then. Your focus on them being real or not is sleight of hand. Itās dishonest. It suggests youāre insecure about your real ideas not being very likeable.
[edit] They got deleted. xD Oof.
My real idea thatā¦ human beings areā¦ human beingsā¦?
youād be funny if you werenāt so sadly acerbic about this.
ftfy.*
in this context, yes it absolutely was. i and the vast majority of 196 users stand by this.
ftfy
*edited this to address your goalpost moving regarding expressing disagreement ~> disputing rights because i donāt care enough to merit you with a reply
Ah, too cowardly to put this as a response, I see - I might have seen it, after all. āabout how to run a spaceā implies that I was at all disputing the rule. I wasnāt, and Iāve pointed this out before, as your disingenuous ass knows. At no point did I say āBlahaj shouldnāt be run like this!ā; in fact, in the immediate aftermath, I said I understood the rationale, but it wasnāt for me. This, however, was far too direct a contradiction for the Blahaj administration to handle, and they removed it for āgatekeepingā.
And you continue to lick their boots for doing so. Bravissima.
Hey, youāre demonstrating the same level of illiteracy you did the first time! Remember when I pointed out that at no point did I dispute her right to run her instance the way she wanted? Good times!
But this level of disingenuity is par for the course for you.
As seen elsewhere in this thread, the position of many Blahaj supporters likewise seems to be that the old conservative attack helicopter canard had a good idea going, actually, and we should be all-in on attack helicopter gender too.
āDragons arenāt real is a form of toxicityā isnāt really a better look. You do understand that, right?
ā¦ rightā¦?
