“I am a Dragon rawr” sounds pretty innocent and playful to be above your bar for respect. People should have the right to be playful and have fun, otherwise fuck life amirite?
I mean, I’m not saying they don’t have the right to be playful and have fun, but I don’t regard the idea that I should be forced to play their game with them particularly positively. And when it starts to dip into serious matters, we have a, well, serious problem. Like Drag insisting that not acknowledging dragons was transphobic - when transphobia is a real and serious issue. I’m not going to treat such assertions with respect in that context.
Gimme a source on the “not acknowledging dragons was transphobic” comment. On its face, that sounds like a joke with about as much sarcasm as the comic you posted.

Fuck, really? Making me go through Drag’s comment history? Fine.
