MODERATORS
That dude is miles and miles beyond obnoxious. I get actively angry to see his moronic comments.
Edit: If you're in here defending this guy you're either an idiot, a troll yourself, or his alt.
I just posted it here cuz it's a drama community and drag brings lots of drama
Getting you actively angry is the point, they're a troll.
Why? “Sharing dms” what happened
clown down.
legit you cannot convince me this wasn't trolling, and the fact so many people haven't been able to tell, for so long, is deeply funny but also somewhat depressing. I blocked them almost as soon as I encountered them. It reeks of bait turned up to 11, like an edgy 16 year old just heard about the concept of making your own pronouns and went "ok how can I make this as stupid as humanly possible to fuck with people?".
Literally never seen a more obvious person trolling the LGBT+ community, the only way he could have been more clear is if he had chosen Attack Helicopter instead of dragon. I feel just like you, I don't understand why so many people humored him for so long when he was actively mocking them to their faces.
You haven't wandered the Fediverse enough, them. By the way, please just respect people's pronouns, we may never know.
I think with regards to the whole pronouns thing, just because they are a troll doesn't mean you should ignore their pronoun preference, as it sets a dangerous precedent for when its right or not to do so.

Already said it in !main@lemmy.blahaj.zone but I'll say it again so others can see it here.
It seems drag was banned from the site for sharing people's DMs, though I'm sure that's not the whole story, drag has a history of being banned for way more than just the thing on the label. Looking at the comments on drag's home instance where it hasn't been removed, it seems drag was sharing those DMs in attempt to libel Ada for not taking the action drag wanted. That's on top of the fact that she did not give drag permission to share them. It's an asshole move for sure, and I have to say if I were in Ada's shoes I'd do the same.
Ada was also already wary of drag after the respecting pronouns rule announcement, because a number of blahaj users rightfully pointed out drag is still likely a troll. Fluff around and find out basically.
It ultimately isn't surprising. Drag has been very sus from the beginning, drag exhibited a lot of behaviors that made me leery. Though at the time I didn't say anything since it was only a hunch and most people were just voicing transphobic complaints about pronouns.

Careful not to mythologize the characters of people who have just hurt others.
With 100+ comments already this is probably a message delivered too late, but if you are reading this be aware that comments here that digress away from simply keeping history into ogling and ridiculing serve only to feed the needs of a user who already has alt accounts drifting in as we speak.
