Dragon Rider banned from a bunch of communities

Boy, there’s not a whole lot I would like to read less than people giving their opinions on trans furries who use neopronouns. People get just a little too excited about having found the ‘right kind’ of trans person to invalidate, and think that Drag being a troll somehow proves something about neopronouns or nonbinary people.
I’m just gonna keep saying the same thing I’ve been saying since the first post about this: you don’t have to interact with everyone. If you think someone’s pronouns are trolling then report them, block them, and move on with your life.
- Society if .world users understood this
  
  I love how for some reason they interpret “I specifically would not like to read this” as “DEBATE ME! DEBATE ME NOW!!” 🥲
- I've read and joined a couple of discussions about this and in one of them, it turned out the people complaining about this ""pronoun issue"" were just bigots under the hood. I hope you're not one of them.
  In the end, Blåhaj Lemmy's rules are to respect pronouns, no exceptions. You're posting in a Blåhaj community thread. This is just to inform you that if you want to continue to not be potentially banned instance-wide, you might want to not go through with your "threat" of not using someone's preferred pronouns.
  Replace drag with a lesbian trans woman and suddenly the same argument of "not wanting to consent to playing into someone's kink" becomes INCREDIBLY problematic. This is of course not what you're doing. But in the end, it doesn't matter what someone identifies with or what their supposed kink is because of their choice of name. Judge what they're saying and doing, not who they are.
- Using neopronouns isn’t doing that. Being a weird furry isn’t doing that. Bad behavior doesn’t do that either, and trans people who are shithead trolls still don’t deserve to be misgendered.
  Any trans person who thinks kicking the “cringe” trans people while we’re all down will buy them five minutes off the chopping block is at best a rube.
what is point of post? drag broke instance rules so got banned from instance. this feels offtopic meow
- seconded mrow
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.
Drags pronouns arent trolling, but drag has done nothing but troll
- we don't know if drags pronouns are trolling or not, we respect them on principle whether drag is trolling or not; the fact that drag has done nothing but troll actually seems like evidence drags pronouns could also be intended to troll, we just avoid saying that part out loud because it shows skepticism of their identity, and we want to be respectful of people's self-identities here (a kindness that ironically drag does not do extend to others)
Just in case anyone wasn't aware, Drag created a community on two occasions called Fuck Draconic NEO with multiple posts telling that user to kill themselves and questioning their gender identity.
- They were recently on yepowertripping pretending to be an ally, just an awful person.
- edit: Sorry, it seems like I completely misread your message. Yeah that's pretty damning if true.
  
  Oh what I'm referring to was nothing like that. Drag was straight up telling the user to kill themselves and such. There was no room for misunderstanding.
  I don't have screenshots unfortunately and now the community/user is gone.
  @Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com might be able to provide proof (if you're comfortable doing this of course Draconic, no pressure)
- I think the image wasn't loading properly on the UK instance
- ???
  
  trucy is wondering why in the OOP it says
  Edit: Image description for Brits:
I'm not surprised that all this stuff came out. Drag had a very similar pattern of behavior to past trolls.
wow if only @moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone was banned for leaking my DMs
- Ada probably won't ban Moss for anything, since she probably doesn't want to make it seem like she's 'taking control' of 196 against her (Moss') will. She's in a difficult position because people want the current 196 mods to quit squatting and give us the community, but she doesn't want to seem controlling. Which I don't agree with, the purpose of being an instance admin is to have control over the whole instance and to interfere with communities when it's best for the whole instance at large.
- since when?? What??
  
  No clue what that person is talking about, and I'll take the lack of any evidence as an attempt at mudslinging.
