TOPIC | New Breed: Coatl
Well, to be fair, the person wasn't saying that all people in drag are creepy. Someone isn't instantly protected from being called creepy if they belong to a group that is sometimes discriminated against. There are creepy people in just about every group imaginable, so you can't just say that it's discriminatory to say that it reminds you of a creepy drag queen--anyone can be creepy, and it's not like they said that the "drag" aspect of what the dragon reminds them of is what makes them creepy, simply that it reminds them of a creepy person that also happens to be a drag queen.
Edit for clarification: I'm not saying I agree with the person, just that I don't see their comment as discriminatory.

Just putting a few words here ~
I appreciate the gesture of adding an entirely new dragon breed! However, I find them to be the fugliest things ever; they (to me) look like the deformed love children of the pokemon Altaria, a weasel and a swan. Totally not my thing. They look very un-dragon like in a poofy, foofy way :/ and I usually like the slightly more different looking dragons. These just.... do not appeal to me in any shame or form XP
Regardless, I hope the ones who like them enjoy their new nest-residents!

^Aye!
If I were to refer to something as looking like 'a creepy lizard,' I wouldn't be saying that all lizards are creepy (actually I very much like lizards!).
That being said, if anything discriminatory [i]was[/i] meant (and I still don't think it was, but...), I take back my comment.
