    Fuck those losers that were complaining. The think they’re allies, but you earn that title; and they failed super hard when they started complaining and treating someone’s pronouns as if it was a reward for good behavior. You use someone’s preferred pronouns regardless of how you feel. That’s allyship.

      It’s like with misgendering trans people who do shitty things or are shitty people like Ava Tyson or Caitlin Jenner. They might be pieces of shit, but they’re still women. You don’t get an n word pass just because a Black person does something bad.

      If this is about a particular mythical lizard individual, I think it is clear that the problem was not neopronouns… Maybe 10% of dissent was related the fact that “they” is offensive, or not inclusive enough.

      I think encouraging murder-suicides and harassment tend to be bannable behaviours, but I suppose if enough “me is victim” is induced by speaking exclusively in third-person (including verbs when referring to one’s self), anything is possible.

      Also, a bazillion bans over for “gatekeeping” later, this place definitely seems mostly allergic to being inclusive towards anyone not a part of the in-group of defending this blatant troll. Fun, or even slightly humorous pronouns aren’t offensive tbh, but forcing your sexual obsession(s) onto non-consenting strangers, online or not, is fucked up. I’m sure there are places for that exclusively, where consent is usually pre-established, to some degree.

      I don’t like people who make otherkin and neopronoun users both look like complete shitheads. I’m in neither of those groups, but it would be nice if people obviously trolling to make a mockery of both concepts would not be immune to legitimate critisism/grievences.

      Tap for spoiler

      I know noone asked, but the probabilty of some level of fuckery akin to this (trolls ruining/dividing the place) is the reason I never made an account on this instance. It isn’t anything exclusive to blahaj, just that irl and online queer spaces get trolled a ton, and the resulting aftermath can be not super great.

      And if you don’t want to use someones preferred pronouns for some reason… you can just not engage. Simply not referring to someone is always an option!

      I have 42069 Ally Points, were can I redeem them? And is this like a Battle-Pass thing or just one time?

      Most of them are Bisexual-Ally-Points do I need to convert them?
