    The “trolling” ban wasn’t over neopronouns, it was for encouraging suicide on an alt account. Multiple times.

    Also encouraging violence.

      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.

          It was meant to be “Do this obviously exxagerated thing, or try your best to persist.” It was anti-suicide

            I don’t see where you’re getting the “or try your best to persist” part from. But even if there was, that still wouldn’t be an excuse for that kind of rhetoric. Absolutely not okay.

        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.

        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?

  • @Default_Defect@midwest.socialEnglish

    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.

          Drag’s a user with weird neopronouns and got upset when people didn’t use them. This started ‘discourse’ about not intentionally misgendering people just because you don’t like them, even if they use weird Neo-pronouns.

          Also went around telling people to off them selves. Got banned for it.
