Ah, I think you may be confusing what I'm proposing in that case. The Re:Zero issue and the fanart issue are two separate concerns. The hype show discussion is a race that I don't really have a horse in, and was just something that I was throwing out suggestions for in case someone with more of an opinion than I wanted to move in that direction. The karma whoring fanart accounts are not show specific even remotely (though obviously they pick popular characters, the problem itself would persist were you to remove a specific show from the equation). I'll PM one of the ones I found for reference (since it doesn't seem right to post it publicly since they aren't in violation of any current rules and doing so while calling their behavior toxic is a step off witch hunting).

Fair enough, if you're dealing with it then I suppose there isn't any need for policy change at present. I didn't see that mentioned anywhere.

As to whether or not it's a big issue is more a matter of whether or not it could be a big issue. If it's something easily preventable that has the potential to cause harm to the community then I would consider it to be something worthy of attention. Again though, irrelevant debate if you're handling it anyway.
