No and I’m not trying to say that using their uname is an insult, I just mean that I’m not convinced that drag’s “drag” bit is a troll, they could be serious.
Did drag themselves (dragself whatever lol) report the comment for the use of their uname being an insult, or did someone else/a mod happen by/etc? If they reported it themselves that would indeed be some evidence of trolling imo, but if they didn’t report it themselves this seems entirely unrelated imo.
Again I’m not referring to this comment being banned specifically, I’m saying that drag’s existence itself may not be a troll on trans people/neopronouns as a whole, as the comment I replied to suggests. I’m saying drag may actually wish to use drag as a pronoun and may not be doing so specifically to piss people off. I’m basing that possibility off the fact that there are other people that do use silly pronouns like drag does that I know IRL and have seen on masto before, they aren’t all trolling and drag is very similar to them, so it seems to be plausible to me that they indeed may take themselves seriously.
I hope that clears up any misunderstandings on my previous supposition.
I’mma be honest I think there’s a lot keeping people from taking drag seriously, regardless of if they do themselves or not, I’m just not sure if troll or not (and honestly leaning towards no).

Do those people use animalfucker as usernames?

If they were serious they could have created a new account with drag as the username.
Keeping the current one seems like an easy way to bait people into situation like the one discussed here.
Not saying that the people you know are doing anything similar

I hear that, but as I said, keeping that username instead of getting a new account with drag just prevents people from taking drag seriously
