I may be newer and not as active here so I don't know the whole story but from what I've seen looking in the modlog buttonmash has a point, drag's behavior over the past few days is extremely unacceptable, drag has said some awful things that should never be said to anyone, let alone fellow trans people.
However some people have been giving drag a hard time over drag's pronouns, and... you know what...
Honestly, shut up! Who the fuck are you to complain about another person's pronoun preferences. You're losers that's what. Maybe drag has done some things that aren't okay but that's no excuse to invalidate drag's pronouns, fuck you and everyone everyone who said that to or about this person. You're not real allies even if you claim to be, you literally invalidate fellow trans people. Seriously fuck you!
Thank you. Drag didn't do the things drag is accused of, but drag doesn't suppose drag can convince anyone at this point. Drag didn't make this post looking for drama. Another user came here to start drama, or bring old drama to this community, or however you want to look at it. And while drag has a problem with that pawb.social user's harassment campaign and the probably false flag attack, drag is not saying any names because drag doesn't want any of those people to come here and start fighting drag again. This post isn't about any of that! If anyone thinks that this post (which is about interrogating nonbinary people over their pronouns) has anything to do with that drama, then they probably agree with you, Blazingtransfem, or else they're just coming here to invent problems and harass drag. If anyone wants to hear drag's side of the story in PMs, they are welcome to. Drag will not be engaging in drama in public again.
Drag may not have done all of them but drag definitely did do some of them. Drag has made racist comments and also has encouraged violence on several occasions. But that's neither here nor there. Everyone makes mistakes, that doesn't justify what was done to drag.
It's very noble to give someone the benefit of the doubt and support them despite the wrongs they've done or are currently doing. I applaud you for the amount of compassion you must have.
However, I think everyone should have the choice on whether they want to be supportive towards someone, as the emotional energy required for that is a very limited resource, especially in us mentally ill and neurodivergent folks.
My criteria for having that choice are not met when people either don't have the full story, or are pressured into compassion due to being confronted with an issue they are particularly empathetic towards or have experienced themselves. Both of these issues are at play here, which is why I feel it's manipulative.
I know getting sympathy and support feels good, but chronically farming it off of people who feel an internal pressure of providing it really bothers me, as it does not feel like full informed consent can be secured.
Hey, I hear what you are saying, but using the correct pronouns for someone is not just being "supportive", it's acting like a human fucking being. The person you're replying to is literally saying drag did the wrong thing, so all I can assume your response means is "I can choose to ignore someone's pronouns if I think they're a bad person". Which is super fucked up. For example, I think Caitlin Jenner is a complete and total piece of shit, but I still use her correct pronouns because I'm not an asshole. This is coming from someone who, like drag, uses 'pup' as a neopronoun, Grow Up!
And trying to start a fight with my fiance in the comments was literally the only alternative to "supporting" drag's right to use neopronouns? You couldn't just downvote and move on?
Oh, drag can discuss those two examples without engaging in any drama. In the first one, drag was talking about the government, not the race. The government controls the press and uses that control to brainwash the german people into supporting genocide. Mostly by misinforming them on the issues, eg: "Israel isn't killing children, those were tactical strikes against Hamas bases that happened to be inside schools and hospitals." All peoples of every race and nationality are susceptible to accepting the words of authority.
Drag absolutely claims the second one, however. Violence against nazis was justified in 1939 and it's justified today. An armed revolution is the only way to overthrow Supreme Leader Trump. Drag doesn't believe in a distinction between action and inaction; letting someone die is the same thing as killing them. If drag were to oppose violence against nazis, drag would be contributing to the deaths of many queer people and people of colour, who are on their way to being killed by Trump's concentration camps and vigilante mobs. Violence against nazis is therefore a form of pacifism.
