I'm sad that one user has caused so much trouble for so many people on here. I don't get the current situation at all, as it's small potatoes compared to the myriad of transphobes and tankies from other instances. I don't often block users, but I don't see how this issue isn't just tied to a single one who would be better off blocked.

I don't get how wider political discussions get roped into personal problems. If a person was a really nice "dragonfucker," I don't know if we'd be having this conversation. It's fine to dislike a person without seeing them as immoral or a political enemy.

I'll be sad to see you go, especially over this 😞

That's the problem with precedents. Especially when the precedent is established with a user whose behavior is already quite... non-ideal.

Yeah, I'm not thrilled either. I enjoyed Femcelmemes very much. I hope your community continues thriving!

The comment defending "drag" as a pronoun (and banning people over it) even uses "they" twice. Apparently admins don't have to follow the ridiculous, made up rule. They can just ban anyone who calls it ridiculous.

drag explicitly doesnt mind people using they/them

It goes back and forth.

I haven't spoken about a specific user in any of this...

honestly the dragonfucker problem would've come up one way or another, dragonfucker is the direct cause that pulled the trigger but the shell and propellant was already in place
