I for one have stopped posting any content to lemmy.ml communities.

    Drag talking about someone else who uses he/him pronouns is not a good reason to he/him drag. And it is NEVER okay to sexualise and talk about the supposed genitals of random strangers you just met.

      Drag talking about someone else who uses he/him pronouns

      That’s not what Drag wrote, Drag’s story is about people at the bar losing respect for Drag because they noticed Drag’s genitals were exposed. At the end it references the person who lost respect at the bar as “he/him”. It wouldn’t make sense if Drag’s friend was referencing himself because drag’s friend didn’t lose respect.

      Drag’s friend claims that nobody from that night respects him anymore and drag is a terrible friend, but that’s nonsense. He’s the one who left his fly open, drag was just helping him avoid embarrassment.

      Drag obviously didn’t mean to misgender Drag’s self and I didn’t know enough about Drag to know it was in error, now I do, lets not dwell on this.

        This is impressively bad reading comprehension. Drag is the one making fun of the person with their fly open. I can’t even hazard a guess as to how you mixed up the subjects like that

        I mean I can’t expect much from a .ml in the first place, but still

            Don’t delete your comments please. If anything, edit appropriately. Your point stands, and the witch burning bandwagon is a serious inability to look within and take accountability.

              I fixed it 4 hours ago on my end, but lemmy.ml is slow with updating other instances right now.

              bandwagon

              There’s no bandwagon, just the person correctly angry about being misgendered, and Drag’s alt.
