There’s no removed comments. I looked through my profile cause like sometimes I just be saying shit so I was okay maybe. But I can’t find any comments on that community. Just the old 196.

Idk if this is where to post this but I just wanted to rant. It’s my first time ever being banned so it felt ouch.

    Question: If we found the skeletal remains of a dragon in east asia somewhere, would you then be fine with ‘dragon’ 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 “Attack Helicopter Gender is conservative talking point nonsense” to “You must respect Attack Helicopter Gender”

      You seem to think this is self-evidently obvious.

      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 it’s a worthless argument considering that whether a dragon is real or not they have tremendous cultural symbolism and nearly universal recognition. It’s a worthless argument to say dragons aren’t real so identification with a dragon is invalid. And really this is just one of those “is it offensive to say a trans woman doesn’t have a cervix arguments” that you see transphobes try and do to test if it’s taken transphobic or not and claim they’re 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 don’t tolerate it when they see what the person is doing.

            Don’t 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 it’s at all disrespectful to try and determine if another person’s trans identity is valid or not? Oppression Olympics gatekeeping is still gatekeeping. TL;DR what you’re doing is incredibly disrespectful to trans people and isn’t appreciated in the majority of trans spaces.

              @[email protected] Think I found another one of those unaccounted gatekeepers.

          If we are assuming that ‘dragon’ here, against all context and everything Drag actually said, actually meant “a specific species of monitor lizard”, that wouldn’t change the fact that human beings are not and cannot be monitor lizards.

            Ohhh, so it doesn’t matter. I see.

            You should just say “human beings are not lizards,” then. Your focus on them being real or not is sleight of hand. It’s dishonest. It suggests you’re insecure about your real ideas not being very likeable.

            [edit] They got deleted. xD Oof.

              My real idea that… human beings are… human beings…?
