It’s not fun interacting with them when they often want to engage in ad hominems. This is why I have no interest in the tankie triad.

    I think the modlogs 100% speak for themselves

    It all goes down to the drag issue in the end.

    Either you think neopronouns are a right (Blahaj, dbzer0) and cannot be removed under any pretext.

    Either you think neopronouns can be considered trolling under certain circumstances (LW apparently?)

    By the way, you said in a previous comment (https://quokk.au/comment/661634)

    Pretending that being trans is equivalent to being a dragon (along with things like encouraging other users to self-harm, because of course this person did, because they are a troll and trying to be cruel to trans people) was the issue.

    Drag got banned when drag encouraged people to self harm. The neopronoun thing was a separate matter (see above)

      Exactly this. Xenopronouns are just as valid as any other pronoun. PJ and Philip seem to be mostly ok with “traditional” (lol) trans pronouns like “xir/xe” or “they/them” so they think they are good trans allies. But they are only allies to certain types of “mainstream” trans folks. Because everything has to be mainstream before a Democrat will ever consider supporting it, in my experience. The moment the pronouns get “too weird” they all start freaking out. Xenopronouns? Forget about it! I’ve even seen it argued that xenopronouns are anti-trans (somehow)? Who knows, but it seems there’s a bunch of LW folks who seem to be that its fine to hate on folks who use them.
