I know there was some schism and moving of instances, but beyond that I can’t deduce what happened/is happening.

      The recent position of the admins was that refusing to acknowledge the existence of dragons was no longer welcome on Blahaj.

        Serious question. Why not just block the fucker of dragons and move on? That’s what I did months ago and it has not negatively affected me at all.

          Honestly, at the time, I hadn’t interacted with Drag at all for months, and Drag had been banned from 196 by then anyway, and 196 was the vast majority of my Blahaj activity. For me, it was just that I didn’t feel comfortable staying in an instance that was going to hand out bans and remove comments to ensure the existence of dragons wasn’t questioned. I ‘got’ the underlying logic of it, but didn’t feel comfortable sticking around for an instance that was going to go to bat for someone who literally and verbatim repeated the old conservative “Attack Helicopter” canard.

          This thread is the first time I’ve interacted with Drag since, I believe.

          And you shouldn’t have explained why your opinions are against the rules. In doing so, you broke the rules, which you should have known would happen, because you knew your opinions were against the rules.

          Lord.

            If anyone needs any more evidence that he’s a troll, they can just look to this conversion. I honestly can’t believe that there remains anyone that still buys his bullshit.

              Drag doesn’t get it.

              If you go to an online community here and say “Clearly I’m not welcome here, because I refuse to acknowledge black people as equal to whites”, that’s against the rules. Obviously. This is the same situation. What the hell is going on here that perfectly normal people suddenly can’t understand that? Does your ability to understand the concept of rules just… go away, when you agree with the rulebreaker’s views on trans people?

                Your bad faith false equivalence isn’t going to work on me dude. I know what you’re doing.

                And for the record, before you start victimizing yourself…. I have absolute respect for people’s pronouns. But since you’re a troll- I mean… “dragon” and not a person, I don’t choose to respect yours. Are you trying to force me against my will to behave in a manner inconsistent with my choices?

                    So…. You’re not a dragon, but yet, want to be called drag because you…. ride one? Even though they don’t even exist? I mean, at best it’s a nickname then, not a pronoun. You know this already. It’s been explained to you time and again. But hey, since it’s allowed:

                    Henceforth, you shall refer to me as 2011 Kia Riofucker.

                    Oh, and I know PLENTY about the trans community, thank you. Part of that includes the knowledge that “drag” is not a pronoun. It’s as I said- at best, a nickname.
