Five days ago, drag was banned from !politicalmemes@lemmy.world 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.

    discussing pronouns with you would be as useless as asking you

    Yeah, because you don’t understand the language and how it uses them. Not my fault you’re an idiot

    choice of identity words

    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?

    drag had that conversation with Blaze without you

    Oh god, Blaze I apologize you had to deal with them on my behalf

    You are not invited to participate in that conversation.

    Thank Satan, my brain cells are saved! Cute that you think you’re excluding me from something here, whatever makes you feel better
