Is draconity a cult?

No.

A cult is an organization, usually with religious overtones, characterized by the presence of a charismatic leader, a demand for unconditional acceptance of its dogma, and a focus on financial support from its members.

Being a dragon is completely at odds with all of these danger signals. The dragon community has no members which could rightly be called "leaders." There is nothing one must believe in order to call themselves a dragon (except draconity itself, by definition). And there is no place to send money to.

We do not try to "hook" gullible people into draconity. On the contrary, conversation in dragon circles tends to be intellectual and social (e.g. pun wars, riddles), and if people stay it is because they like the casual and friendly atmosphere which characterizes all of our online correspondence. Non-dragons are always welcome, and there are many humans who have been in dragon circles for years! No social pressure is ever applied -- one does not have to be a dragon to participate in any dragon community activities.

Dragons are a very diverse group, and if one stays for long enough they are almost certain to be exposed to a wide range of beliefs, but there is no agenda we have to push upon others. If someone you care about is a dragon, you can rest assured that it is by their free will.
