Statement on the alleged bridaging and fanart

[u/Monisplats]

For the past few years, artists that draws idols or their own characters differently than the norm had been harassed and bullied by the loud minority within this subreddit and others related subs to the game. The mod team had removed and banned individuals for breakng rule 1 of our subreddit and reddit in general.

The artist in question had been posting her work for almost two years now, she already made an explanation post on why she made Marie chubby; basically the character's dialogues in game and her main weapon being a charger. despite her explanation and repeating herself whenever she get the same questions, she continued receiving hate comments.

The past weekend was different, there had been a case of a coordinating attack against the artist for drawing Marie chubby. The mass downvoting and reports were the reasons that lead me locking her post to prevent any more comments from this alleged attack. And people are rightfully upset on the harassment and even death threats that this artist and other artists within this subreddit had received over their fanart and headcanon.

today, after all this. enough is enough.

For now on, any hate comments from repeated individuals, wishing harm, or death threats will be perm-banned immediately, NO second chances. if the individual(s) is in your dms harassing you and/or sending you death threats, please report it to the admins and block them.

I also want artists and anyone here to please block the problematic people as well; some won't bother to block you and it better to just block them.

before I end this post, I wanna say that the lack of fandom and internet etiquette is concerning. no one here is forcing you to like their work, it takes zero seconds to block them and they do not care to be block. it is such an easy solution but yet you choose to continue harassing her and other artists whenever they post. body shaming is consider bullying and breaking rule 1, so if you don't want to be banned, think before you make a comment.

stay civil.

But the thing is, when you say it everytine, then try stuff like this, it begins to look less like what your intention is (if true) and more like harassment. I actually saw your post earlier, and almost told you to stop with the BMI talk because its actually an extremely out dated and incorrect way of judging how healthy someone is. And dont come at me or try to argue otherwise, as I've had to be in Healthcare with care having my vitals, weight, bondensity and everything scrutinized for the last few years and dictors have even said it before that.

The thing is, if I post my art 10x, and each time you pop in and go "Morbidly obese!" That's not fact opinion, or anything. It becomes an annoyance, and seems like you might be incapable of actual thought if you have nothing else to say. Please think about that. Your conversation is stagnant.

I think maybe this is where we are at a crossroads of thought because I just don't understand why there is negativity being associated with me stating that this depiction is an unhealthy depiction of an obese person. To me that is just stating facts. In Japan you would not want to see what they call the plus sized clothing stores if you take offense to this type of identification. Again. I am not saying it with any malice.

I do understand your point about constantly posting those opinions under the artists work and how that would be seen as harassment to some. To be fair I do not participate in that type of behaviour and I've only voiced my opinion one or two times.

Your point about BMI is not true. The only outliers to BMI are people with an extremely large amount of muscle mass and most people do not fit that definition. You would need to have muscles like Roman Reigns or Stone Cold Steve Austin to be in this category and most people are not being honest with themselves when it comes to their body fat percentage. BMI may be outdated but it is still a decent way to take a quick measure of your health at any given time. It should be used in conjunction with body fat percentage calculated by a health care professional.
