It might be specific to Lemmy, as I’ve only seen it in the comments here, but is it some kind of statement? It can’t possibly be easier than just writing “th”? And in many comments I see “th” and “þ” being used interchangeably.

Yeah, I’ve seen people write essays to Sxan. It’s wild how much they want to dictate others’ behavior.
I bet it’s the same crowd that blows a gasket when somebody decides they want to write fu*k in the title of a post instead of fuck lol
And the same crowd that would spend their time making posts about a certain dragon poster all the time.
IDK if that one’s exactly comparable, drag (or their partner) has repeatedly clarified about it being explicitly a fetish thing (not just a furry thing, to be clear, it’s very much a fetish) and while they are annoying as all fuck even without the cringe neopronouns, the real issue there is how incredibly not okay it is to force people into engaging with your fetish without their consent. Drag is a dip and (while a lot of the hate they get is probably based around heteronormative societal values and really isn’t justified on that account) the pronouns only exacerbate the pushback they get about their wildly toxic behavior, they aren’t the driving force behind it.
The thorne thing is just annoying, and would probably be a non-issue if the person doing it weren’t so incredibly eager to draw attention to it and then start fights by spouting rhetoric that at this point they have to know is wrong. They’re not doing anything, like, creepy - it’s just that they’re an asshole transparently doing it as a troll move/for attention.
Tldr, but suspect you proved my point that people are way too opinionated about other people’s idiosyncrasies. Does drag even post anymore (or like that at least)?
Man it sure is easy to claim victory when you refuse to engage with the other person, ain’t it? But well done for puttin’ me in my place, I sure am humbled to know that someone who balks at reading 179 whole words might disagree with me…
Perhaps if those words had any value, they’d be worth reading.
Trying to play off being a jerk to someone over a two paragraph response as you somehow having passed value judgement just makes you look like you enjoy being mean. If this is really what you’re like, twitter is right over there, and they adore this kind of behavior.
When your comment starts with “but drag is extra weird, so its okay to be rude!” it seems odd to accuse others of it.
Oh 100%.
me good. you different! you bad!
you be like me, you good! me tell you how! otherwise you stupid/bad and me hate!
