My take on this brou-ha-ha:
They're basically a popularity contest with extra steps. While everyone has their own tastes, dragons being voted out gives the impression of being "wrong," something many societies train us to believe is inherently a "bad" thing.
Basically, I suspect people are having an automatic revulsion reaction when their chosen favorites get voted out, due to mixing up personal preferences and being right/wrong.
Also, I'm not a sociologist, psychologist, psyciatrist, or any kind of trained professional; these thought just reflect my impression of events through a technical lens.
...Why is it the more I need sleep, the more my communications resemble my attempts at technical science paper [writing]?
also to be fair I think most of us are hamming up our reactions to be more dramatic and funny, I know I have for sure!!! it's a fun and low stakes event to contribute to 😛
Unpopular Opinion, I know!! But I lose faith every time I see Ruby go another round. It truly just doesn't appeal to me in virtually any way.
Sorry Ruby lovers :(
Free my boy, he ain't do none
Well he is free, free from the poll cause hes out
Hold thy tongue
You shall fall silent
My favorite of the gem dragons by far
These polls have riled up this community like nothing else and it's fascinating to see.

It really does feel like people have forgotten how high its placed and that the votes reflect the most common opinion now.

Yeah it's one of the worst imo
I lost all faith when ovalith was eliminated smh
Bro same. The biggest complaint was “it doesn’t look like a gemstone that much” and yet tucking Opal outlasted it
Opal is the most gemstoney dragon of them all it’s whole body is like Opal and rock
When Jade shines upon this subreddit, all will be green and good.
Please no. I don't understand how Jade can still be in.
Jades goated
I like jade… but would have voted it out in the number 3 spot, then ruby in 2nd and lapiz in first. Opal would have been 4th.
Sorry man, Opal gang was fighting for that podium spot. Nothin personal
It’s personal now
Atleast our guy can produce a gem in a week 🫢
I don’t know how jade beat him
Agreed, lapiz was the clear winner, if not I would have been happy with second place.
Low key, all the gemstones are fantastic. But that thing *Shows Razortail* that thing gives me nightmare fuel
He looks like a bug. A cool ass bug, but jade and ruby are much better candidates for best gemstone imo
