    it’s a salient example of the strategy i’m talking about. this isn’t a natural consequence of having groups.

    there’s no way the mods think that a vegan who would prefer a vegan restaurant adds a couple meat items over them closing entirely “was never really a vegan” and should be banned.
    and likewise, there’s no way people think that dra**** is a real pronoun that that person actually identifies as, and people discrediting that are anti-people’s gender identity.
    it’s exactly the same thing.
    it’s concern trolling.

      If somebody asks me to refer to drag that way, I’ll just do it. Why not?

      If drag’s fun to be around, I might hang out, if drag sucks or is boring, I’ll move on and talk to somebody else.

      I wouldn’t take multiple days out of my life to scream about how “they don’t really mean it” or how it breaks a rule my first grade teacher taught me about grammar.
