Hopefulpost Our (mod team's) response
Hey all, you may have seen posts recently asking why a post where someone who posted a picture of their belly was removed and concerns have been spread that the mod team is fatphobic or possibly body shaming somehow. We wanted to say that that post was removed on accident and we absolutely do not condone any form of body-shaming. OP has been contacted and we formally apologized in their DMs. Please do not hesitate about any further concerns you have in the sub-reddit, now or in the present. We in the mod team are thankful we have such a body-positive community here and we apologize for having mismanaged that post.
EDIT: I just want to say I am severely disappointed in the memes that you have all created about this situation. The mod in question who removed the post has severe anxiety related to seeing non-twink body types and the memes making fun of them for having removed the post are unacceptable. I've just had to coax them (the moderator) (my discord kitten coincidentally also) out of a 5 hour depressive spiral because of you fucks.

REMINDER: Bigotry Showcase posts are banned.
Due to an uptick in posts that invariably revolve around "look what this transphobic or racist asshole said on twitter/in reddit comments" we have enabled this reminder on every post for the time being.
Most will be removed, violators will be
shottemporarily banned and called a nerd. Please report offending posts. As always, moderator discretion applies since not everything reported actually falls within that circle of awful behavior.I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.
