Isn’t this the same dude that insists on referring to himself in the third person as “drag”?

[–] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 6 days ago

Indeed it is, they were banned from this instance for trolling and harassment, and were also permabanned from pawb.social for the same reason. They literally incited harassment towards me, made an alt and posted insanely disgusting content in a community with the purpose to defame me. Even sent me porn in my DMs, utterly disgusting piece of shit.

This is one of the people who needs to be banned everywhere (homeserver ban) sooner rather than later.

I think Dragon Rider is the drag person. Dragonfucker is someone else.

[–] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Nope. Dragon Rider is Dragonfucker's display name. Just like how my displayname is "Norah - She/They" but my username is "princessnorah"

[–] frostysauce@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Oh! Thank you, I didn't know that was a thing. I have no idea how things work here.

[–] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 6 days ago

dragonfucker and dragon "rider" are the same person. Dragonfucker is the username, which can't be changed. Dragon "rider" is their display name.

He has to be the most downvoted person on all of Lemmy.

Oh, fuck off. Best I can do is ‘they’, I’m not entertaining a troll who’s using trans people as the brunt of their joke because they wanna identify as a mythical creature so they can get pissy with people.

Hey man, I know that Dragonfucker is a troll, and I'm not defending their behavior or saying they aren't doing this (not saying they are either) but we shouldn't dismiss the idea of people identifying in unique ways like drag claims to. Xenogenders are valid and so are therians. I think that using they/them is the least we can do in this situation, and not deliberately use gendered pronouns to describe them. In dragonfucker's case they want us to do more but they're clearly not acting in good faith, if someone were, I would try and also encourage others to do so, but dragonfucker literally harassed me in DMs and publicly they have not shown any indication of good faith conduct. They just need to be banned like DroneRights and linkerbaan were.

While drag is 100% a troll, what evidence do you have that drag is lying about drag's identity? Drag is not the first person I've met with a more complex identity, and I've even met one's that are similarly upfront with their sexuality. Life,,, uh,,, finds a way, you know?

I think Mossy Feather's comment upthread puts it best. If drag is a troll, then using correct pronouns and respecting drag's identity is likely the best way to fuck with drag.

[–] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 6 days ago

If drag is a troll, then using correct pronouns and respecting drag’s identity is likely the best way to fuck with drag.

I think it's kind of hard, I would agree with that to an extent but I also know of cases where the troll wanted that and their goal was to make asses out of the people who did that. I once ran across a person who claimed to use Me/My pronouns and would flip out at people if they didn't use those pronouns. Their goal was to make anyone who tried to affirm them sound stupid so they could mock them. Indeed I saw them talking shit about how "liberals will bend over backwards to respect pronouns" or "look at these dumb libt*rds trying to please t-slurs" in that case I wasted no time calling them out and not playing any games with them.

It hasn't been so clear cut with dragonfucker, though they did (almost 100% sure it was them) harass me very aggressively seemingly trying to get me banned on pawb.social, lemmy.blahaj.zone, possibly other instances, and just try to foster ill will against me. I'm not saying this is the same case as that or that I won't try my best to respect dragonfucker. I do know though that it's not as clear cut as doing what they want or the opposite.

I hope no one gets the wrong idea or thinks I'm saying we shouldn't respect dragonfucker's pronouns. I'm just saying there's a point where you need to recognize that following along can lead you into a trap if you do it blindly.

You forgot the ye olde english guy

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don’t think I’ve run into him yet, do I wanna know, or is it something I should remain blissfully unaware of as long as possible?

[–] trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago (6 children)

I think they don't post as much anymore but it was one person who kept posting while using the letter thorn (Þ, pronounced th as in the), people kept complaining that it made their posts less legible.

They ended up doubling down and incorporating other archaic letters, and over time they ended up writing all of their posts in very unreadable archaic writing.

[–] Neon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Okay, But thats actually cool

[–] trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

No it was really annoying

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Oh I saw that guy! Can confirm it was annoying, but I like having a few eccentric annoying people on here. They're like mini celebrities.

People with gimmicks are tiring. Just go ask daddy for a hug and leave us out of it.

[–] logi@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Not the point, but didn't they use þ for the th in "three"? And then ð for that in "the"? That's their usage in Icelandic and I don't remember them using the letters differently. But my memory isn't worth much.

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Do you mean "☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆"? If so, they are very much still active, posting what looks to me at first glance as disinformation. Doesn't look to be getting many downvotes though I assume it's because people just block instead.

[–] anzo@programming.dev 2 points 5 days ago

Can confirm, I am indeed blocking some special characters

[–] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago

The person in question was very thorough about reviving older spelling conventions. I asked him about it once and he gave me a reply written in what he considered right. It was a LOT. Still, I'm impressed with his commitment to the bit.

“You know what? I’m just gonna make it impossible to understand a thing I say. That’ll show you all!”

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

On the one hand, bringing back letters like thorn could help improve the readability of English by making it more clear what sound each character represents, especially for people learning English as a second language. We only dropped those letters because early movable type sets only included Latin letters, forcing printers to make do with sometimes unintuitive letter combos. But on the other hand, trying to force it by posting on Lemmy isn't going to accomplish anything.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 3 points 6 days ago

People can't be bothered with to/too, there/their/they're, or lose/loose. You want them to learn another letter?
