I'm gonna get real with you folks, we've had way too many of these posts recently. I've been reflecting on this topic a lot the past few days. For me personally, I couldn't care less about my gender identity. But just because that's true for me, doesn't make that true for everyone.
The beauty of the fediverse is that if you don't like the way a particular instance or community is moderated you can simply choose another to hang out on, or create your own.
Blajah has made it pretty clear by now they will ban anyone who argues against the validity of xenogenders, in order to create a safe space for those folks. That's fair enough imo.
Safe spaces should be respected, and Blajah's admins/mods do not deserve abuse for creating and maintaining those spaces.
I can completely understand why Blajah users don't want to have to constantly argue with external users about the validity of their chosen identities. Bans are one way Blajah has decided to manage that problem so that their users can experience lemmy in relative peace and safety. While it is a blunt tool and I have my reservations about preemptive bans, there are not many other options for @[email protected], other than defederation from most instances. That would be a terrible outcome for the fediverse as a whole.
In order to help Blajah to maintain their safe space, I would like to propose, if @[email protected] agrees and community sentiment is positive:
- that we no longer accept posts about this topic in this community; and
- we also remove previous posts on this topic from the community.
That's all folks, have at 'er.
You're viewing a single thread.
To all the blahaj stans:
You got it backwards, being against blahaj and what it stands for is culture war bullshit.
Sorry I identify as an attack helicopter now because that’s what blahaj prioritizes. Bullshit identities and ideologies that make a mockery of actual queer people. As a safe space!
Can y'all leave the attack helicopter bullshit in 2016 where it belongs.
What’s the difference between a dragon or a dog or a cat or whatever fucking non human entity and an attack helicopter? Thanks for making my point. These people are trolls actively harming queer people with their bullshit and are given a safe space out of “tolerance” while actual queer people are banned for not giving into that bullshit.
The instance stands for clearly, directly, and repeatedly insisting upon the notion that fictional entities are real, and demonizing and falsely accusing those who point out that fictional entities are fictional. That is the absurdity. What an asinine and self-important thing for you to say that totally tracks with everything we’ve seen so far.
lol that telling you to take it elsewhere is “making you believe absurities”
no one has to believe shit we just have to not be assholes about it
we just have to not be assholes about it
Unfortunately that's not possible for the people who are whining and complaining about blahaj here. They're incapable of not being assholes which is why they got banned in the first place.
Blahaj is groupthink land where queers who don’t play the groupthink game are banned
I am genuinely concerned for your well-being and your grasp on reality. Do you even realize what you’re defending? Do you think everyone who points to observable evidence contrary to your comforting preconceived notions is just evil? I’m seriously concerned about your bubble and I am worried about the toll it will take on you and your personal relationships. You demonize me over imploring you to think critically about the information you surround yourself in. You don’t seem to consider that you and your affiliations are fallible, and you’re going to experience a lot of difficulties in life if you carry on assuming that if you do something or you associate with something, then it can’t be wrong. I don’t wish harm on you, but you sure do spit a lot of venom at me for wanting you to be present in reality and to embrace empathy.
The irony is, your comment can be uno reversed right back at you.
No. You can’t just say things that are convenient for you to believe and by doing so make them true. That delusion is the foundation of the row, specifically the notion on blahaj that magic incantations can make fictional creatures real. I’m not a bad person for telling you that Pegasus and Pikachu and Popeye aren’t real and can’t be real, and one would be willfully daft and willfully destructive to defend the dogma that says otherwise.
Squorlples aren’t real, you should stop using that name as you can’t magically make them real. You should instead go by “human”.
You seem to struggle with differentiating between the material and the abstract. If somebody pisses on your leg and tells you it’s raining, it’s actually piss, not rain.
Apart from the fact that neopronouns are usually just someone enjoying the freedom to “be who they want to be”, do the neopronouns hurt you?
Ah yes, no one has to believe anything in particular but all dissidence will be silenced
user discovers the concept of a safe space
A “safe space” that prioritizes bullshit identities over actual queers
Ah yes, the safe space that famously attacks and harms members of the demographic for whom it specifically says it is safe. It’s also not a safe space if you’re just plugging your ears to reality and pretending unicorns are real; that’s called an echo chamber and a cult.
Safe space without borders - the safe space that extends everywhere its users can reach.
The fact that we can all see your comments suggests that the safe space has borders.
Not for lack of trying.
lol that telling you to take it elsewhere is “making you believe absurities”
Yeah, elsewhere, somewhere outside of Blahaj, like maybe dbzer0!
yeah dude :) welcome to the concept of discussion :) i’ve been here the whole time lol
go ahead and talk about trans identities here. get it all out. lol. i literally can’t nor won’t stop you. did you think i was trying to shut you up?
yeah dude :) welcome to the concept of discussion :) i’ve been here the whole time lol
Yep, you sure were standing around the thread where you and your friends harassed a trans user out of the Fediverse for wrongthink. Great discussion!
girl wtf is you talking about XD
girl wtf is you talking about XD

And as I pointed out in that very thread
“Ha ha just kidding” is up there with “Um, despite seven previous comments demonstrating understanding of the argument, suddenly I don’t understand???” for the most common bullshit you trot out.
Fucking predictable.
idk[i know what you linked but am ignoring it for humorous effect] because it proves nothing and is meaningless to your point. but the onus of proving i bullied anyone is on you :/ liar liar pants on fire till you prove iti don’t bully people, it is against my moral code and also the rules of this community
idk what you linked to
"I don't know what the thread I participated in was"
Play stupid all you like.
Pretty sure this one is a troll since they’re claiming that they categorically cannot be a bully because it is against their moral code; ergo, they believe they cannot do wrong, and somebody would have to be pretty short of self awareness not to see the issue with that. This is underscored by them antagonizing you in the very same comment.
Side note: is their comment “girl wtf is you talking about XD” an intentional (or at the very least a blithe) misgendering of you? i.e. a bannable offense from the bad instance?
"girl" is common slang in US English as a form of reference without necessarily being gendered, similar to, albeit with different tonal connotations than, guy.
I don't think they're a troll. I think they just hate the idea of taking responsibility for their words so much that they'll twist logic into pretzels to avoid it.
The place does have that Zionist vibe tbh
