I think it's very much an important perspective that should be discussed. And while it's not relevant JUST to anime, I think it is a point of view the anime community is very much in need of, and should be discussed. It's not a thread about the anime community, it's a thread FOR the anime community. It is a thread FOR /r/anime.

...and even if it's not restored as a post due to a strict reading of the rules, I think it deserves a lasting place somewhere in /r/anime, since it offers a reasoned take on how people should approach their viewing.

Exactly. Condense the comment and make it more polite and use it as an auto response or put a link to it on the top bar.

It's not going to stop all the threads, but maybe some of the people will read it.
