If this is about a particular mythical lizard individual, I think it is clear that the problem was not neopronouns... Maybe 10% of dissent was related the fact that "they" is offensive, or not inclusive enough.
I think encouraging murder-suicides and harassment tend to be bannable behaviours, but I suppose if enough "me is victim" is induced by speaking exclusively in third-person (including verbs when referring to one's self), anything is possible.
Also, a bazillion bans over for "gatekeeping" later, this place definitely seems mostly allergic to being inclusive towards anyone not a part of the in-group of defending this blatant troll. Fun, or even slightly humorous pronouns aren't offensive tbh, but forcing your sexual obsession(s) onto non-consenting strangers, online or not, is fucked up. I'm sure there are places for that exclusively, where consent is usually pre-established, to some degree.
I don't like people who make otherkin and neopronoun users both look like complete shitheads. I'm in neither of those groups, but it would be nice if people obviously trolling to make a mockery of both concepts would not be immune to legitimate critisism/grievences.
Tap for spoiler
I know noone asked, but the probabilty of some level of fuckery akin to this (trolls ruining/dividing the place) is the reason I never made an account on this instance. It isn't anything exclusive to blahaj, just that irl and online queer spaces get trolled a ton, and the resulting aftermath can be not super great.
