    As a person who grew up in American schools post-Columbine, with kids in schools now, and none of us are CEOs, this is probably the take that saddens me most about this whole event. It’s our kids, and the argument used to be about freedom. Soon, we won’t even have that. What was the fucking point? (Rhetorical: profit)

    I know we’re all alive at a special time in humanity. We think we’re so civilized. Then I look around, and it’s the same history playing on repeat. When do the monkeys figure out it’s one species? (Rhetorical again: 😬)

      People aren’t all the same species. People with human bodies come in lots of species on the inside. For example, drag has a pet dragon whose body is human. The world is much more interesting after you realise everyone’s different.

                That’s a really weird and gross way to talk about drag’s fiance.

                I agree.

                It was drag who first described drag’s fiance as a dragon in a human’s body (weird but cool), and as an owned pet (gross and toxic). Weird-ass dragonfucking I’m fine with, but ownership is gross.

                    I am vaguean, but I don’t think my eating habits are relevant.

                    I don’t believe it possible to consent to ownership. I disagree with most forms of personal ownership, let alone ownership of a person.

                    Drag is a dragonfucker, but I’m a horsefucker. Drag hordes and owns; drag’s lust is tied to drag’s greed. Horses herd together as a big group of friends; kindness and sharing don’t mix with possession and domination.

                    Forgive me if the way you describe your relationship inflames my empathy and makes me worried for your pet.

          Because this multiple species take has been a basis of slavery in the past.

          people aren’t realizing this is that crazy guy who thinks he’s a dragon and refers to himself in third person.

            Drag doesn’t use he/him pronouns, and doesn’t identify as a guy. You’re allowed to disagree with drag’s gender identity and think trans people should only be allowed to identify as genders you approve of, but assigning an entirely new gender onto drag is taking things a bit too far.

            No one’s enslaving anybody. Dreg’s just being a based otherkin and living beyond the limitations of human existence.
