This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.

Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.

Rules

Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.

Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.

Edit: I also just got banned for apparently being a troll. Me. Not the person they believe to be a dragon though.

I don't give a fuck about drag really. What drag does and says is up to drag. Drag has a different and challenging identity. The instance mod was applying the rules around identity here, and it seems cis people in here are pissed because they don't think drag's identity is valid.

... yes. Being a dragon is not something you can be. Dragons do not exist, much less is there the capacity for a human being to be one.

I can't believe that this is really a point of contention.

You do understand that pronoun use and (gender) identity aren't necessarily linked, right?

The existence of dragons has no weight on the validity of drag's pronouns.

Drag has explicitly stated their gender identity, numerous times before. Like I said, this isn't about 'drag' as a cutesy 'xe/xim' equivalent.
