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.

    Yes, I realize you two cosplay together. And I am not going to indulge you or them no matter how much you follow me around and harass me about it.

      Drag didn’t follow you around or harass you. Drag even typed out a comment about your disagreement with drag, and then thought better and deleted it. Then Draconic NEO pinged you anyway because they wanted you to come argue with drag. If you want to pretend to be upset that you’re in this conversation, pretend to be upset at the person who actually pinged you.

        He literally showed you doing all the things you are claiming you didn’t do. There’s no point in trying to deny it, you’re just digging your trench deeper and deeper. Whatever assumption I had before that this was in any way good faith is gone, and it’s clear to me you’re just a less aggressive, more sleezy/sealiony version of DroneRights, not an alt of them but the same basic type of trolling. It’s not working anymore.
