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.
You have a pet human? Is that like a sex thing?
No, drag doesn't have any pet humans. You must have drag confused for someone else.
Does drag have any pet dragons in a human body? Is that pet dragon a sex thing?
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.
So you're a vegan, then?
Or do you only think ownership is wrong when it's consented to?
Drag shared your comment with drag's dragon and it was furious with you. It called you a human supremacist. Drag asked if it wanted a link to the thread instead of just a screenshot, but it said there was no point fighting in the mud with you. But if you really want to talk to drag's dragon and convince it that it's being abused, just ask, and drag will ask it to talk to you.
Eww, no way. Humans suck.
No humans. They can be as greedy as you dragons.
Playing in the mud is fun, though! I'm always down for that.
I've been in that situation. I couldn't see it until I left. If you love them let them be free. No creature should be owned. No creature can consent to being owned.
It's its choice. Not yours. It's free to choose and it chooses drag. If it didn't, drag would respect that in a heartbeat. You've never met it, but it has many friends who respect its choice, and see the good it does its mental health to be treated on its own terms.
You are trying to deny my will and my expression of it. To take away my ability to consent is to take away my personhood and my autonomy. It's to do what you claim is bad, to take who I am and bend and use it to your wants. Let me be me without having to run it by you to make sure you're comfortable with it. Your words make me feel small and sad and scared. If we were ever in physical space together, I would have to be on guard and I wouldn't feel safe being authentic around you.

What? Do you have a problem with dragons, or just with love?
I have a problem with dragons. They're overused to the point of being boring
That's a bit of an ironic thing to say if you're a human.
No it's not. They don't fill the same story niche. And you're human too, regardless of what your calls for calls for attention say.
Dunno why they downvoted you.
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.
No one's enslaving anybody. Dreg's just being a based otherkin and living beyond the limitations of human existence.
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.
Maybe they want the world to be boring
