Both being young and speaking english as a second language can impact things a lot I think. Tangent, but I used to be a mod for a small FR server a long ass time ago. We had issues with a person who was a teen at the time saying some fairly ignorant things relating to queer stuff. Not outright hateful, but certainly not kind or considerate. We didn't get aggressive with them but we let them know it wasn't ok and from what I remember they left the server, maybe we kicked them? Don't remember but regardless, they messaged us years later apologizing for the things they said and expressing how they were dealing with a lot of internalized homophobia + grew up with bigoted family. It genuinely really warmed my heart that they put the thought into letting us know because none of us wished ill on the kid, it just wasn't an environment we wanted. And it was really nice to hear they'd grown past that.
I do not blame people for having 0 patience with a bigoted adult because a by that point a lot of people are set in their ways, even though it's a nice thought to at least try. But kids, teens included, are still really impressionable and also *very emotional*. If you come out of the gate with aggression towards them saying something out of line they will get defensive and are way more likely to not actually reflect and learn from it. I think most of you can remember being a teenager and not feeling willing to listen or back down to someone who's reacting aggressively.

At least where I live I've heard it used as a somewhat derogatory term on occasion, but not very frequently and not really on the level of a slur. It's more of a way to try and be a bit disrespectful and tactless than anything else. Very teenagery? That said it's also just.. sued as shorthand by lesbians too so like it can really go either way.
If lightning ever loses our AchievementBoy I'll weep. I love that boy.

Not to be a furry but I want Pinkerton to be my wife. I want to hold his hand. I want to take him out on dates. I want to have exclusive access to stuff my face into his fluff. I want to swim around in his Crim hoard like Scrooge McDuck. I want to
anon was silenced for speaking the truth. #WifePinkertonNow
Spark here. I previously had another Lightning chevo Aether pass through, named Traveler, who had a handful of art (including a doodle I added) and many other "guestbook" messages, etc. I *just* checked up on it only to find it renamed, bio completely wiped, and stuffed into a hibden. RIP to a real one, and kind of sad that the art I drew for it is kind of useless now </3 🥲
I'm getting the impression that achievement dragons were a bad idea
nah! they're a wonderful idea and help the community, but i think too many people are placing too much emotional stock and actual physical effort (drawings, for example) into them when it's best to remain unattached to it when knowing there's people like hyrultia who ruin things (despite being protected by the rules).

At the very least investing so much effort and emotion into them was.
I used to be neutral on achievement dragons but the salt is slowly making me fed up with them.
