    The “trolling” ban wasn’t over neopronouns, it was for encouraging suicide on an alt account. Multiple times.

    Also encouraging violence.

        Apparently there was a huge deal I didn’t notice? Had this person blocked because there constantly were (very obvious) troll comments that caught my eye and I started to notice it was always the same account. Went to profile, info text said like

        Drag likes to “ride” dragons

        Yeah at this point I just blocked them 😂

        I bet they just wanted to test how long this would be tolerated on the instance

        Edit: Also OP’s only comments and posts all seem to be related to drag, maybe this is the next alt lmao

      Do you got proof that it was an alt account or smth? How do you know?

      EDIT: Said on the modlog banned for trolling. You trying to hide something?

      I think they’d get it after a little supplementary media. I don’t know how much they would approve of, but they would get it.

      The opposite would be true for soldiers of the time. They would approve but they probably wouldn’t get it.

          I just don’t imagine a dude who spent 20 years thrusting spears near the mediterranean as very adaptable or imaginative. They’d spend the first week in the future in shock.

            Hey

            They didn’t just thrust spears

            They also thrust their “spears” into their battle-brothers

            Greek soldiers were SUPER GAY.

            What I’m saying is – If a lost hoplite ever found themselves in the 21st century, alllllll you’d need to do. Is point them to the nearest gym. They’d bond with the local queer gymbros and IMMEDIATELY feel right at home.

        One of them is only known to history by his literal wrestler alias, because he was a wrestler before he became a philosopher.

        Greek philosophers would be more perturbed by the fact that we don’t have slavery (/DO have automaton slaves for a lot of jobs but DON’T spend 99% of the day fucking around, and instead just keep producing more and more useless shit) than anything related to our jokes and memes.

    Half of this website bending over backwards to make sure not to accidentally use the wrong pronouns of someone who is clearly a troll acting in bad faith and encouraged suicide.

    Wacky.

      Two separate things.

      One is a matter of principle about not herassing people over chosen identities, regardless of how odd they are.

      Another is them breaking rules that warrant a ban.

      The second does not invalidate the first. And lumping the first in with the second devalues the second.
