    They also ban real users instead of the people literally calling their gender “dragonfucker” and “attack helicopter”

    There were a bunch of users who got angry about these users mocking gender expression and then when they told the trolls to fucking stop Ada banned them

    The blahaj admins are trolls

      I give Ada a lot of credit. In the early days, I had the following interaction:

      TOPIC: Something about sexual/gender preferences, I don’t remember, asking people their preferences

      Me: responds with my preferences (I’m straight cis male, I like women so I’m down with post-transition trans women but pre-transition don’t turn me on)

      Some random user: respectfully asks if I would be willing to date a pre-transition trans man

      Me: I guess, but it probably wouldn’t work due to the fact that what I like about their body, they hate

      Some of those professionally offended people took a misleading screenshot of my response and started screaming about “chasers”.

      Ada did an admin post to the community backing me up and calling those idiots out.

      So unless she’s changed a lot, I don’t think she’s a troll. It would have been easy to go with the mob but she stuck up for me.

        Still could be TERFS.

        I don’t have any deeper knowledge of that instance, just what I saw in all, so I don’t want to put anything on them. That thought just came across reading your comment.

        I have made a mental remark in the past that the posts and users on this instance are better treated from afar, though.

          It’s pretty harsh to just casually suggest that a person be a TERF without any specific evidence.

      “dragonfucker” and “attack helicopter”

      i mean, if they’re doing it as a haha funny, i see no harm, but if they’re also being assholes, i think that takes precedent. You aren’t legally required to fill in your gender tagging appropriately so.

        They are an asshole though, a serial pot stirring drama seeking troll that gets people banned for reacting to their ragebait. Yeah I identify as a refurbished ebike and you must relearn English to refer to me, and you only rather not because you agree with literal genocide. Funny!

        I haven’t seen the attack helicopter and the joke is pretty damn old tbh, but drag at least is/was kinda funny. Drag’s profile specified that drag’s pronoun is “drag” in not just third, but also first and second person, which is an interesting concept. Drag also stayed in character in drag’s posts. Drag didn’t ever really bother people with the whole thing IMO.

          yeah, it’s a dead beat joke, it’s come around to the point now where you can do it ironically and nobody cares. Though i guess you could still just be an asshole at that point lmao.

      The pronoun was just “drag”. PJ is the one who kept calling them “dragonfucker”. You can go read dragonriders comments instead of just repeating gossip.

          They were already banned for other trolling behavior, just not because they used neopronouns. Please get an actual bearing on reality.

            Sorry I’m not allowed to use that space because I called a troll a troll before the Admins felt like doing their fucking jobs.

            I’m not going back now, blahaj is a cess pool controlled by trolls.
