comment for someone's comment that I remember but don't remember where I saw it and I dont care enough to find it and I assume it was removed anyway:

"trans women are women. dragons arent real."

okie Im a neutron star then, those r real :3

I honestly don't understand the whole problem from anyone. I hit the block button after 1 post, and I'm just shaking my head every time. I did the same for the person who insists on having their pronouns capitalized or something (and I'm reasonably sure it's the same person, but eh, block and move on).

It costs you nothing, it takes basically no time at all, and it makes your life and everyone else's experience better. Like blocking .ml

The more people passionately post about drama on a meme page, the less I care about it.

Look, I'll respect drag's pronouns, but I definitely don't respect drag. 5 minutes looking through drag's modlog was more than enough. Here are some highlights:

• Banned from the Trans community on Blahaj for misgendering and another thing we'll get to shortly (You might notice a recent unban, that's for Transgender, the OTHER trans sub drag was banned from)
• Banned from this sub and others for trolling
• Banned from a concerning number of subs for encouraging suicide.
• I really want to emphasize that one. Drag has been banned from many communities for ENCOURAGING SUICIDE
• Banned from a number of subs for harassing mods and not being civil

And thats all before we get to the bottom of the first page, which only goes two months back. Once again, drag deserves to have their pronouns respected, but that doesnt mean they deserve any other kind.

It is nice to see a meme poking fun of and criticizing the "leavers" without twisting and misrepresenting their views.

hi spujb

Leaving the instance or blocking someone isn't transphobic, but not respecting their pronouns is. It's that simple.

I didn't realize this was still an ongoing thing. I thought the dragonfucker had been banned after the last sealioning episode.

"I'm leaving."

doesn't leave

my ass had to take a day off the internet, shit was tiring.

you’re one of the real ones, spujb

DISCLAIMER: Any "you" used in this comment is the royal "you", not directed at OP but more at those with attitudes like the person being referenced in the meme.

The drama post I saw around this was full of people being upset that their words both caused harm and had consequences. And I personally feel they were being transphobic. Misgendering and disrespecting another person's identity is where my line of transphobia is. If you think (for example) calling Elon something like "Elonia" is a valid take, I know how seriously you'll take my identity when we butt heads

Like OF COURSE you can leave, why should any of us care? OF COURSE you can disrespect someone's identity, just deal with not being allowed in inclusive spaces. OF COURSE you can post that drama like you're the victim, just don't expect to change the minds of those who deal with your shit every day. OF COURSE you're not "transphobic", you're just a cunt. You'd only ever call yourself a transphobe if it were trendy. You have trans people in your life, so you could NEVER be transphobic. 🙄

I can block a few people but I cant get my community back after it was killed :c

(Also my worry is that trolls will eventually kill this instance)

So you can post this meme, but if I post the exact same meme with the speech bubbles reversed it will be removed for "gatekeeping". Do I understand that correctly?
