I almost hate to ask this since it’s come up so much already, but what’s with the Dragon Rider drama? Like what’s going on
I used to think drag was just a troll account making fun of neopronouns, but I don’t think that’s accurate anymore. Dragon Rider used to go by Dragon Fucker and uses “drag” as drag’s only pronoun, and like I used to, a bunch of people thought drag was just a troll. But if it’s a bit then there’s nothing to the bit other than a weird pronoun, drag just seems like a decent person from what I’ve seen. Drag also made a very genuine looking post about drag’s struggles with mockery and disrespect, mainly from .world users and admins, and drag’s struggle to avoid self harm over it. I think Dragon Rider is a cool person and people (including me) should give drag the benefit of the doubt, or at least avoid drag and don’t be an asshole if you don’t like drag.
I think drag also once told someone who was feeling suicidal about the state of the world that they should fight rather than killing themself, and a bunch of people took it in cartoonishly bad faith and now say drag told someone to kill themself. Bc nothing screams “kys” quite like “don’t kys, you can do some good”
Didn’t that user literally tell someone if they’re suicidal to kill a red hat (trump supporter) and them themselves like come on.
Anyway they’re a troll, literally the blackface equivalent for transgender people.
How infuriated would you be if someone in blackface said you’re only offended at someone pretending to be black because you hate black people? And how more infuriated would you be if you got banned for racism for calling out someone in blackface? Switch black with transgender and now you see why everyone hates this user.
You should listen to the voice that’s telling you not to add more spoons to this already heavily-stirred bowl of shit.
I have no idea what this is about, as “Dragon Rider” could refer to an abundant number of popular fantasy series, so I am curious to see a real answer about it.
I would have to imagine if it is anything like most other “drama” these days, it’s entirely meaningless and effectively just translates to a rage bait mine that one could try to exploit for ad revenue or imaginary internet points or something. Something people will completely forget about in a week.
Honestly if you don’t know, delete your comment, hide this thread, and live without knowing.
Tbh, at this point, there’s no tl;dr that’s realistic, and everyone has kinda covered it so well in the past that my best advice is to scroll back through this C/ and find the previous posts. It really has been done to death.
I think I’ve given my synopsis of it maybe three or four times, and those versions are likely better than what I could come up with again.
Guess we don’t need to hear your opinion on it literally every time it comes up then, huh?
And who the fuck are you, trying to be a dick for no good reason?
