Five days ago, drag was banned from [email protected] for using neopronouns. A comment explaining drag’s pronouns, and a comment saying “drag” isn’t a nickname, were removed with the reason “trolling”. 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 drag’s pronouns, wouldn’t that completely neuter the trolling attempt? Trolling is about trying to make others upset. You don’t have to get upset when someone uses unusual pronouns. If you aren’t transphobic, then it’s 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, there’s only a problem if you want there to be.
EDIT: DRAG DID NOT TELL ANYBODY TO USE DRAG’S PREFERRED PRONOUNS.
Lol, you have other comments on your profile from like 2 days before this where you refer to yourself in normal pronouns, you can’t even be consistent. If you legitimately held these opinions it’d be every time. Also the “I didn’t tell anyone to use them” while having comments where you explicitly do just that
Your behaviour almost perfectly matches this super obsessed mega-MAGA dipshit I used to know, he’d go online and pretend to be a mega lefty in weird ways, then screenshot them on his normal accounts and use them as examples of “the insane left”
Is that you, Stan?
You should probably quote those if you mention them

I just had a quick look and could only find quotes such as
Which would actually be consistent with their logic (using “they” as they allowed in a comment below)
Their comments legitimately could be removed from the communities for all I know, just like their politics comments (might even have been in that thread)
I scrolled a few days back, saw them speaking like a normal person in multiple comments out of quotes, and my bullshit detectors went off
That they went on to, almost a week later, post about it being transphobic that they were banned and seem to be incapable of understanding WHY they’re not being believed only increases my certainty
Here’s a comment where drag uses an “I” pronoun. It’s a quote from Doctor Who. Are you sure the comment you read wasn’t another quote from a TV show?
Drag couldn’t find that one in drag’s profile, do you have a link?

Oh, in that one drag doesn’t use drag’s pronouns in first person, because drag is referring to somebody else in first person. Drag is suggesting what @[email protected] should say to their mother. 7U5K3N uses the normal set of first person pronouns, so if drag is referring to them in first person, drag should use their pronouns.
Not arguing on that, just saying that were the only examples I found, and that they were coherent with the pronouns policy.
Thank you.
Drag is not a guy. Drag doesn’t mind if you don’t gender drag, but please no mis-gendering. Please no applying genders that drag doesn’t have.

Drag thinks discussing pronouns with you would be as useless as asking you to respect drag’s choice of identity words turned out to be, so drag had that conversation with Blaze without you. You are not invited to participate in that conversation.
Yeah, because you don’t understand the language and how it uses them. Not my fault you’re an idiot
Yet another example of you either being unbelievably stupid or a troll: you called them pronouns until this comment, now suddenly they’re something different to pronouns?
Oh god, Blaze I apologize you had to deal with them on my behalf
Thank Satan, my brain cells are saved! Cute that you think you’re excluding me from something here, whatever makes you feel better
It’s okay
