And apparently, also when you think that 'They' is a perfectly serviceable gender-neutral singular pronoun, but are willing to use other pronouns if asked to.

EDIT: Other removable offenses on Blahaj now include questioning mod/admin decisions and quoting the modlog as a reason why you're leaving.

I really don’t understand how this is so hard for people. If calling someone a hippopotamus makes them happy and doesn’t inconvenience me then you bet your ass I’ll be saying hippopotamus.

And if the admins begin removing people who say human beings can't be hippopotami?

That, for me, was the reason I left/announced leaving. I don't give a shit about drag, specifically. Drag could be deleted tomorrow and it wouldn't make a difference. Drag could have been IP banned immediately after Ada started removing comments and it wouldn't have made a difference to me.

Once "You can't be a dragon" is considered a sin on par with transphobia, or, by the arguments of some of the Blahaj commenters here, literally the same thing, I'm fucking out. I'll generally humor people with inoffensive oddities, but when it comes down to "Agree or shut up" about it, I'm not eager to stick around.

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.
