Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

The person in that article isn't me. But if it were me, then who the hell are the other people that drone mentions being in their swarm? They say there's 4 drones and a queen.
I'm gonna be clear; I don't like you. You think that xenogenders require sources. That's absurd. You also look down on people with mental disorders like NPD. I think you're transphobic and ableist, and a gatekeeper. I don't care about your opinion of 7/9, because you've not given me any evidence you respect nonbinary people other than yourself. You've given me evidence that you'll attack fellow nonbinary people for their disabilities and doubt their own experiences.
The existence of drones as a kink (which that carrd does specifically call out for some reason) is explicitly offensive to me and it's the one kink I'm unafraid to shame. A mind or a body is a lovely thing to have, and one should remain in charge of their own.
Too bad, people are sexualising my gender because it's hot.
Yes, I sexualise people of my own gender. It's called being gay, you fucking homophobe. Do I "admit" to being gay? Yes, I do.
Well I wouldn't have called you homophobic if you didn't attack me for being attracted to my own gender. Maybe you could apologise and then I'd say you're not homophobic anymore.
can you please stop kinkshaming people and shaming people for having a raunchier or more fetishistic gender? you can thank the people who “strangely” sexualize shit like bondage or leather for your rights today as a queer person. these “weirdos” are the ones who will actually fight for your right and for your very existence as whoever you want to be. if you want to be close minded just because a gender is raunchy and naughty, then do as you please. but I would like it if you, instead of commenting, took some time and analyzed the idea of downright dismissing someone’s gender because it’s a fetish. dronegender people aren’t the ones who take away human rights left and right; cisgender heterosexual people, the ones whose genders aren’t what you view as a “fetish” do. this stuff is absolutely harmless to you and to the people who engage in it. for many people, being part of a wider swarm can, in fact, wound a part of their personality disorder which quite literally affects their ego and their sense of self-worth, both as the leader or the follower of the swarm. and if it can help people be better, who are we to judge and ostracize them?
I have been lurking this community for a good amount of months and was a bit shy to make an account, to be honest. I am a rather shy person and do not know how to get a proper footing within a community but when I saw the amount of prejudice against some gender you don’t even know, I knew someone had to speak up against this. I knew I couldn’t stay silent any further. I knew I had to make an account just to speak up. Everyone who is oppressed and harassed deserves someone to stand up for them and to assure them they are safe and well. Everyone who does not do that is an awful person. I don’t want to be an awful person. I can’t be the bystander any longer. Fuck, I was so angry that I just didn’t care about doing anything else, in fact. I am so abhorred at the lack of standards in this specific post that you made me pretty much make an account just to stand up for this one random person. I’m just a silly corvid from a silly system.
to make that judgement, you’d need to know that person’s typing patterns and their general points. it is fairly obvious from the way I type that I am different from that person. I am far more impulsive and reckless than they are, and I could make that judgement based on looking at how they structure their words, because I am not a dumbass. also, if it’s 3AM, you can go to sleep instead of harassing intersex people. thank you!
TIL quoting someone and addressing it is “typing like someone”. TIL capitalizing your initial words in a sentence is “typing like someone”. also of course they blocked you, you insufferable asshole. you’ve been bad faith, and I don’t want to do anything with you. adieu, and do your work. have fun!
I wasn't banned. I'm banned from your local instance, I'm still here. And I have reported your homophobia and ableism. I also think you're a complete nincompoop to be informing someone you assert isn't me about whether I blocked you. Maybe you're actually starting to realise we're different people.
Oh okay.
okay, the fact you need to point that out is absolutely ridiculous. what’s wrong with being narcissistic? nobody chooses to be one.
if your “beloved community member” is pretty much willing to deny the lived experiences and interpretation of an intersex person, someone whose experiences and identity are still widely discriminated against and quite literally forcibly put surgeries upon from a young age for them to fit within the binary sex/gender bullshit that’s forced upon all of us, then maybe your community should rethink its standards and its views on intersex people.
the typical “I don’t want to do something that’s clearly wrong and bigoted, but” response. if someone were to say “I don’t want to be racist, especially since I attended a BLM protest, but [spews out racist stuff]”, you’d understand that is wrong. So why not understand that when you’re armchair diagnosing someone, you could be ableist towards them?
I sure love someone playing the victim here. Also “difference of opinion”? I love how you’re repeating fascist talking points here.
let’s address these points one by one. you first say that person edits Wiki articles. as if… that’s a problem? they’re that gender, they have the sources and information to gather for their own gender, and we all know gender is a far more complex and subjective concept than, say, atoms or molecules. those ones are pretty objective and verifiable, but gender isn’t, because gender is a part of the self, a part of the whole experience, which does include sexuality and the alike.
every science can hold bigoted beliefs that are then rationalized and justified as science. did you not learn about “race science” or about the Nazis? they used “science” to justify their beliefs that Black or Jewish people should be wiped off the Earth. you’re also using “science” to justify bigotry against narcissistic people.
this is how I’m going to prove it to you that your claims of me being an alt — which shows a lot about you and not me — by saying this: I don’t know what he actually said, but I know what you and what DroneRights said. and I have engaged with the subject of queer theory and queerness in general for a number of years on many other social medias before joining this one today. this is my first ever exposure to this topic and I genuinely do not know what he said, but I can tell that its arguments are far more convincing and elaborate than yours, and that your arguments are pretty much internet fascist rhetoric for the most part.
yes, I am doing a lot of ranting. I fucking am. because I care about queer people and it seems like all you do is weaponize your identity to justify your bigotry. also, for someone who fancies themselves to be a psychologist, I don’t think you truly understand the way slight subtleties can be the telltale difference between a person or another.
for instance, I will share with you a memory about an intersex person we met, one of the first ones we met online. it was about the pandemic era. we were exploiring our identity and figured out we were a demiboy (already proof that we are not DroneRights’ alt, because it never said anything about being a demiboy from what I’m aware) and possibly lesbian, and we were on this server called Neuroqueer. there was a trans man called Asher on there. he was a kind, sweet and caring person who was very silly and very cheerful. he told us at some point he is also intersex and would talk about the intersection between his intersexuality and his transness. DroneRights is not the first nor the last intersex person we will have encountered online, but we took the time to understand intersex people, to understand queerness fully and completely, and to make sure that, every time someone who is intersex is harassed and targeted, or appears to be targeted, for us to be good allies and stand up to them. maybe this will come as a shocker to you, but I don’t think an alt would just say this out of the blue: we are not intersex. but we need to stand up for intersex people anyway. to insinuate that I am simply an alt is simply based on your previous assumptions and on whatever happened within your community, which I don’t know. I do not know anything about your community, but I can tell based on what I’ve read so far that your community sucks and that someone needs to say the quiet part aloud.
well, today you’ll learn that there’s more than a person with DID on the planet other than DroneRights. we do have DID, indeed, that’d be the correct answer to your question. but I think you’d rather argue that I used collective pronouns to describe my system’s existence than to actually face the music and read anything I’ve been trying to explain and/or take a pause and think about the fact that other perspectives than yours exist and maybe you’re not being “attacked” for an opinion, but simply rightfully criticized.
I don't have DID.
Oh okay.
As I have said earlier, the way you are reacting to this thing reeks of the way right wingers react when their viewpoints are pushed back against. “I was just trying to have a conversation” I don’t think denying someone’s interpretation of a fictional character and their close interpretation of it, or denying their identity is a good discussion topic. I don’t think bigotry has the right to be treated as a “civil and honest” conversation, because its premise is based on hatred and disrespect.
there are many reasons as to why there are only a couple resources. a lot of genders are only known to those who have coined them, but that doesn’t mean or invalidate the experience of those who coin the genders. every single minute, someone will coin a gender, and the only resources you have are their sources, their interviews, their statements and posts. as the gender will gain traction, there will be more and more people which will share their experiences and opinions on the gender. essentially, what you are missing is that such a gender who is yet to be fully understood by others than the coiner cannot and will not have sources beyond of what the coiner knows. sometimes, the only source for a gender is a single Tumblr post. that’s it; only a single Tumblr post or TikTok to evidence that gender as being coined. and once again with using your identity to shield yourself. yes, of course I am calling a nonbinary gay person right wing, because you can have fae/it/pup pronouns, be aethergender and puppygender, and yet still hold bigoted beliefs.
Your SO should ask for cuddles from someone who supports gay rights imo.
Alright, I hope you sleep nice and tight and sweet dreams. I’m sorry if I have been maybe too aggressive towards you and was impulsive. I hope you can look more into xenogenders and how they work one day and you’d understand that a coiner putting their own resources is totally normal behavior within the xenogender community. Until then, peace and respect.
Maybe you should say that to whoever wrote the article you're talking about
No, you found several different sources and were approached by several different people and you invented excuses to dismiss everything you heard and read.
"Calling out" people for being mentally disabled is right wing. You're a reactionary conservative.
I think it's really gross how you call having a connection to one of the only characters with a similar gender to one is unhealthy. There are so few examples, and so many fewer good ones.
If you hate lying, deceit, and shenanigans then why is your comment full of those things?
I haven't met another drone on the fediverse. I've met other drones.
