drag seems to be a fine and well-contributing member of this community.

idk I can respect drag's neopronoun but I'd imagine drag would get much less hate if it wasn't for shit like this

I don’t really see this as encouraging suicide. Drag explicitly stated that another option is preferable. Could’ve been worded better, sure, and it’s in very poor taste, but… I cant say I disagree…

Is nazis dying suddenly a bad thing now?

Fuck, hadn't seen stuff like that. Opinion changed.

you, you're doing it right. behavior is not an excuse to knowingly misgender someone. everything else in this thread is beside the point.

Wanting to fuck dragons isn't a gender. It's somewhere between kink and orientation.

Banning the user above for anti-trans rhetoric. Explaining the position here because we're consistently repeating ourselves and it's exhausting.

Drag's user name is Dragon Rider. I would assume the neopronoun "Drag" is a shortening of Dragon but even if not bare with me... Pronouns exist to replace nouns. Our name (or in this case online, our username) is a proper noun. People rejecting pronouns in favor of just using their name isn't new. I don't know why the community is so upset about this. You are well within your opinion to not like people. Whatever, you're allowed to hate Drag as a person. Don't hate Drag because you dislike Drag's pronouns.

Even then, why tf do you care that someone wants to be called Drag? I don't care about alternate account's NAMES. We can't prove whether or not Drag has alt accounts and even then, why do you care? Care about Drag's actions.
