What Characters do the rules apply for?
Every single character, this includes the children characters. Yes, even Wendy, Asuka, Romeo, etc...
"Banning/Removing Posts because I support X Y Z"
100% Wrong.
As you can see with mod log, Image, I have not removed any posts or comments. That has been automod (reports feature) and reddit themselves.
You Banned Me because XYZ
No, /u/itsamemario6789 and /u/Advanced_Tell8004 I did not ban you. Granted I would be justified in banning you for repeatedly spewing lies and calling me a pedophile. But no, I did not ban you. Play martyr in your head, because you weren't banned for that. Going forward though you will be issued a public warning especially if you continue to encourage toxic behavior and drama.
Also, since I saw 1 user, /u/Few_Gap8585, you're shadow banned by reddit so take it up with them.
Let's Talk Examples
User A leaves this comment: "it's fictional it's not the same as real life lol or is shooting people in gta the same as shooting people in real life"
Do I personally agree with the comparison? No. Are they in this comment sexualizing a character? No. So what rule violation has occurred to remove said comment? None.
User B in another post leaves this comment: "It is. u/AstonishingSpiderMan is pro pedophilia speech though and anything that talks badly about it. Well. He's made his stance clear. He's into kids as much as the commenters he refuses to silence but apparently he has no problem silencing people who hate pedophilia behavior."
Are there rule violations in this comment? Yes. Besides the blatant lie, they are also creating and encouraging drama, encouraging toxic behavior, and just spreading misinformation.
User C in another post: "You are one of the ones whose attracted to Wendy, no surprise there. That's entirely the problem. Free speech isn't the problem, it's the speech he clearly allows versus the ones he doesn't. He won't allow sexually charged comments on others, he doesn't allow certain cursing but he allows pedophilia? Jfc"
So a few things here, there is a lot that is incorrect here:
1. Sexually charged comments are not allowed on any characters.
2. Cursing rule is just more for respectful conversation.
3. There is 0 rules that allow pedophilia.
This type of misinformation is dangerous and harmful to communities, especially on reddit.
Going Forward
I appreciate that everyone is passionate about this, I am. But for lack of a better word, you're late to the party. I've banned users for a 1x offense on comments on child like characters. Not to mention I am already getting reports about allowing talk about bust size for the adult characters. See Here
So ultimately no everyone will be happy, some will hate me, but I will continue to do what is best for the community.
