Recently I had a message from another user asking me to teach them what I know about Dragon Magick and I asked them the same thing I ask anyone that asks me that: What do you know already? They claimed to know EVERYTHING about dragons (that was a big red flag right there) and the dragon language, so I put them to a test with some basic questions, and the answers were so laced with prejudice that I felt sick to my stomach. One in particular got me as being very insulting to dragons, to sum it up he claimed that all light dragons were good and all dark dragons were evil, which is no different than saying all Muslim people are terrorist and all Irish are drunks (both of which are untrue). The fact that such prejudice still exist is frustrating, considering that not too long ago the practice of magic was considered "evil" by most of society, though now it is more widely accepted, the fact that there are those who would place those same stereotypes on others is, well, frustrating like I said. The fact is dragons, like humans have individual personalities, and "good" and "evil" are choices that anyone can make, even dragons. I hope this helps to clear this steriotype up
