I was curious so I checked the hexbear modlog, you posted a weird comment and people posted a lot of "wtf" replies, the mod message for removing your comment was
I'm honestly not sure what you're referencing, but most of the responses here were just people making fun of you for blaming Putin for funding Israel?
People can use whatever pronouns they want and anyone pitching a fit about it are the ones who deserve scrutiny as far as I'm concerned.
Drag always rubbed me the wrong way, always ready to jump right to calling people tankies without much interesting conversation to be had.
If someone is trolling I'm going to ban them when they violate an actual rule, like telling people to kys, because anything else opens up the field for people like Pug to declare who is and isn't trans based on if they like their pronoun choice.
Responding to PugJesus below me as I can't interact due to their ban:
From my POV, you are pitching a fit over the pronouns by harping on about 'not believing dragons are real' - heres an example of you misgendering with 'his' while doing so. That invites extra scrutiny.
in this thread the person was banned for saying "I don't think it's an unfair line to draw. We draw it at what's real and what's not. Gender as a spectrum is real."
you replied in one comment saying
What I conclude from this:
When you are talking about belief in dragons what you are really doing is using that in as a stand-in to say ' only genders that are 'real' are acceptable to use'. That is gatekeeping.
here you are doing it he same routine to a trans woman in that same thread. You called her a child and insane for saying 'you don't get to question someone's identity'.
I don't believe in any magical creatures, but drag and anyone else should be able to use whatever pronouns they want because fuck gender.
