The "trolling" ban wasn't over neopronouns, it was for encouraging suicide on an alt account. Multiple times.
Also encouraging violence.
- Yeah that Drag guy was a bad actor in my book, as well.
  
  Apparently there was a huge deal I didn't notice? Had this person blocked because there constantly were (very obvious) troll comments that caught my eye and I started to notice it was always the same account. Went to profile, info text said like
  Drag likes to "ride" dragons
  Yeah at this point I just blocked them 😂
  I bet they just wanted to test how long this would be tolerated on the instance
  Edit: Also OP's only comments and posts all seem to be related to drag, maybe this is the next alt lmao
- Damned if you do, damned if you don't
- Do you got proof that it was an alt account or smth? How do you know?
  EDIT: Said on the modlog banned for trolling. You trying to hide something?
  
  Well, one instance of it was on their main account, so it doesn't matter that much. (Sry about the SC quality)
  I wasn't the one who issued the ban so I can't say for sure, but IIRC the reasoning was that both accounts spoke in Drag's unique way. That and by all appearances the account seems to have been made specifically to harass a user Drag was beefing with at the time.
  
  oh ew this was an airing grievance post and wasn’t just a silly meme :( now im sad
  
  Honestly, personally, Drag does stand out as a POS to me. One of those folks who incite violence on the regular.

imagine explaining this irreparably convoluted joke to an ancient greek philosopher
- This post would instantly kill a medieval peasant
- I think they'd get it after a little supplementary media. I don't know how much they would approve of, but they would get it.
  The opposite would be true for soldiers of the time. They would approve but they probably wouldn't get it.
  
  i think plenty of greek soldiers were actually well educated iirc
- tbh I feel like Greek philosophers would be surprisingly chill about someone being called drag.
  
  One of them is only known to history by his literal wrestler alias, because he was a wrestler before he became a philosopher.
  Greek philosophers would be more perturbed by the fact that we don't have slavery (/DO have automaton slaves for a lot of jobs but DON'T spend 99% of the day fucking around, and instead just keep producing more and more useless shit) than anything related to our jokes and memes.

Got banned for harassment not pronouns. Simple as. Piss off.

Drag is it you again?

I can't believe we're still doing this, I fucking hate social media
- I don't understand why people get so invested in this bullshit.
  
  Just for clarification: we absolutely should be respecting people's pronouns, I am exhausted about the whole fucking discourse about one user who is clearly a troll. We can respect the trolls pronouns but can we please shut the fuck up about the troll?

Say what
- Hiccup is a dragon rider
  
  This answers a lot and yet nothing at all. Thanks :>

Half of this website bending over backwards to make sure not to accidentally use the wrong pronouns of someone who is clearly a troll acting in bad faith and encouraged suicide.
Wacky.
- Two separate things.
  One is a matter of principle about not herassing people over chosen identities, regardless of how odd they are.
  Another is them breaking rules that warrant a ban.
  The second does not invalidate the first. And lumping the first in with the second devalues the second.
  
  If a troll gets a kick out of seeing their preferred trolly pronouns used while being banned for other stuff, then that's a price in willing to pay to respect people generally.

Can we please, please, PLEASE stop with the dramaposting
