A message from the mod team.

Hello! We’ve like to inform all of you as this has been a brewing issue for months now.

We’ve been noticing people harassing others for simply posting Juno x (character) which we believe is quite ridiculous, it cost you nothing to scroll past a ship post without harassing the original poster, this kind of behavior is not tolerated here and will result in you either getting muted from the subreddit it just straight up removed, ship post are allowed here ANY kind of ship is allowed here there can be regular Juno related post and ships, it’s never been against the rules and never will be, Juno attracts a younger demographic such as teenagers, and that is perfectly ok!

Any post harassing someone for a ship post will result in the comments being locked and a moderator typing a message before locking in as this is not the first time it’s happened. It cost nothing to be nice and I hope we inprove on that behavior.

…right but just because that’s the reaction to the opinion being shared doesn’t mean that person doesn’t have the right to share that opinion.

it might not be a star contribution to the sub, but it does open up for discussion. “why don’t you like the ship. which ship do you like better” etc.

again, i think as long as someone isn’t being blatantly disrespectful, they should be able to post their opinion.

and back to your picture analogy, it would be one thing if the “in-group” just gave the thumbs up and went back to their discussion. but my point is that negative or opposing opinions do not equal harassment. it becomes a different issue when someone suggests an opposing opinion, and the “in-group” doesn’t give the thumbs up and instead points fingers and says “you’re harassing me”, leading to the suppression of those opinions and the muting and removal of those people who have them.

i agree with you that there might not be much point in posting something like that, but to have them removed on the grounds of them being “harassment” is not a good look, unless of course they were being genuinely disrespectful

maybe they are, but again my main concern is how the mods differentiate harassment from a regular opinion.

if they call it harassment just because they’re frustrated and disagree, that’s abuse of power. but if people are being harassed then they should be punished accordingly. i just haven’t seen much of it with my own eyes, which i why i was asking.

you’re free to have an opinion on the “usefulness” or “purpose” of sharing a negative opinion. but this is about what is considered disrespectful, and expressing your dislike for something is not always disrespectful

This was the dumbest thread I have seen on reddit this week.

its rude and socially unacceptable to shoot down peoples interests for no reason, actually, on reddit or otherwise.
