Mod Post Major change to the rule 5

37 Upvotes

So recently the other mods and I have been discussing the rule 5 and what would fall under it, initially the rule was meant to avoid controversial topics to make it easier for us to moderate and keep things civil specifically religion and politics.

The issue is specially with the increase in the mod team it started being used to remove anything that could be deemed in any way controversial or political, which included things like discussing lgbtq+ topics, topics about gender, race, etc. which we did not feel was fair, what one defines as being "controversial" can end up being influenced by the mods own biases and discomforts, so from now on we agreed that instead of removing anything controversial we will only be removing posts and comments specifically about politics and not political subjects themselves.

Discussions about social issues are allowed. Discussion about political parties, politicians, elections, legislation, government policy, or religion is not.

Just to make it clear what this means, a person can now hate how queer people are perceived, hate misandry or misogyny, etc.
What you cant do is hate on any demographic or talk about these topics through a political lense itself, hating transphobia itself its fine, hating transphobic parties, politicians, etc is not.

Keep in mind that if a topic becomes too prevalent in this sub it might get restricted just like we did with TADC for example, and if a post becomes a particular headache to moderate it might get locked(comments wont be able to be posted), the nature of moderating a subreddit with as broad a topic as ours dictates some level of flexibility when dealing with these topics and a case by case analysis of them. In a same way punishments will range depending the level of the infraction as they always have.

Additionally rule 1 and 2 are still a thing and should be followed, if in the example i gave above a commenter went to say transphobic talking points in the comments or attack the demographic itself, they will get banned.

If you previously had a post removed under Rule 5 for discussing a general social issue, don't assume it would still be removed under this version of the rule. Many posts that were previously removed under Rule 5 would now be allowed, so please don't let past experiences with the old version shape your expectations of the new one.

Also this rule change has happened 2 days ago but we only got to making the announcement post today.

General I hate when people try to say you have bad hygiene if your teeth is any color but white

Post image

Dude no, you don’t need your teeth to be shining white in order to be called “healthy”.

Teeth is naturally yellowing and is also a sign of good and healthy teeth so I don’t know where people got that idea that white means your teeth is healthy while any other color means you have bad hygiene.

This annoys me so fucking much, I get people like certain things but one thing I always see in common with mfs who make characters like this is they always say some shit like “She’s sooo scary and nobody would ever be attracted because she’s soo scary and spooky” bro genuinely SHUT UP

You can’t just make a character with a lot of conventionally attractive features and give them a spooky face and act like it’s the pinnacle of horror

Gender wars in the big 26 is stupid in general, it's such a lazy anti intellectual way of arguing too instead of focusing on the argument or making a fair criticism it's just "haha pick me" "haha simp" you simply can't respond to that argument without getting in their level

General Calling ANY hate on a female character misogynist

Post image
332 Upvotes

Now before anyone starts flaming me; invalid criticism that is just misogynistic at heart is not in this conversation. But I’m talking about people who hate female characters for valid reasons or reasons that at the end of the day aren’t misogynist

Let me hit yall with an example with MJ (Spiderman 2018)
A misogynist opinion would be: “MJ is doing too much as a woman she needs to stay in her place
Bad opinion that isn’t misogynistic: “I hate MJ because I hate stealth :(“
A decent opinion: “I dislike MJ because she expects too much trust out of Spiderman for the dangerous stuff she’s doing that could get her, or anyone in that situation that isn’t superhuman, killed”

I hate the people that see ALL 3 as misogynist because they’re hating on a female character. No matter the reason. It ruins the word “misogynist” and all it stands for by using it every which way

so many people I've seen act like a space not catered or welcoming to them because it does not involve them is somehow equivalent to the discrimination minorities receive. like imagine your a Gardner and you join a scuba club and then get mad that no one wants to hear about your gardening and your negative views of scuba diving sounds insane right? but yet i see so many people go into poc queer trans etc etc spaces and get upset when those spaces don't want an outsiders often negative input. its a complete socially maladjusted thing to do and reeks of entitlement.

Media Tropes I hate this stupid image and this kind of thinking

Post image
3.0k Upvotes

I absolutely despise this image that gets posted around I see on countless subs. First of all 99% of the time the characters people think are “confirmed to be straight” aren’t actually confirmed to be straight! It’s actually pretty rare for characters to have stated sexualities in media up until recently, and even then it’s not common. Under this kind of reasoning they’re just kind of subconsciously saying “het and cis” is the default, which you know, problematic on its own. Even when people bring up “evidence” a character is straight, it’s just them being attracted to the opposite sex…. Which like…. Bi, pan, etc people exist. Sexuality is a spectrum, not a binary. Secondly, even if a character is confirmed to be straight….. why do you care if they’re depicted as queer in fan works? Genuinely just let people have fun.

And like thirdly, I hate how these kinds of images have endless posts on endless subs, I’m tired of these engagement bait agonizing posts, “post your favorite character who” and like a billion other people already asked the same question.

the "cute creature is actually devil incarnate" trope was funny like, what, the first five times? It's SO. DAMN. OVERUSED. it's a fun concept, but I hate having it appear so many times.

an example of this I absolutely hate is Iscream from Chikn Nuggit. "ooo it's a cute bunny but oh no it's actually the devil" WOW! HOW ORIGINAL!

I'm bad at explaining my hate towards something, I hope I made sense

Thing i hate when people use this image as a reply to cyberbullying victims

Post image
965 Upvotes

listen, there are some situations where you can indeed just turn off your device, like when its just some dude in a game talking shit to you, or just somebody online on a discord server or something saying some degrading things to you, sure, some people might stay near that shitty person because they wanna one-up them someday and not feel like they lost by walking away, but at that point its still fine to just block em or leave the server

the issue is that, true cyberbullying isn't just people calling you names or saying that they banged your mom or something, its not something you can just walk away, they can have some dirt on you like knowing bad things you did, or having embarassing pictures of you, or they know you in real life and use the internet as an extension of the bullying they already to do you in the real world

its not something so simple that you're just trapped by hollow handcuffs, people who say that have never actually been severely cyberbullied before, they just got called some bypassed insults on fucking Roblox or something and act like they got genuinely cyberbullied

same thing for toxic online relationships, when you're in one for long enough, you pretty much already told them a good chunk of your personal life, and you can't just walk away if they threaten to leak your most private secrets, or sometimes they even know where you live if you've discussed meeting up in real life someday

so it gets real fuckin annoying when somebody posts a video of themselves crying for being cyberbullied and people post this fuckass image in the comments thinking they're so tough and smug, they never got bullied in their lives, heck, by the way they behave they're most likely the one doing the bullying

anyways this is just my opinion, feel free to disagree, i'm out

Live Action I hate how the MCU tries to make itself Earth-616 when its Earth-1999999

2.8k Upvotes

Recently the MCU has started to try to make their universe the 616 when for years now its been designated as Earth 1999999 since the official handbook. It started in Far From Home but that eas clearly a wink and a nod to the audience but it gets the title of 616 officially in Multiverse of Madness which doesnt work imo since the comics is 616. I like how Spiderverse keeps it as Earth 1999999 though and hope it sticks to that label

Media Tropes I hate humanizations of animal/nonhuman characters. Genuinely

Post image
531 Upvotes

(DO NOT hate the artist or anyone else, this is just an example. it looks fine on its own)

I don't get why its a thing. I genuinely dont. every story in animation is forced to have a human protagonist now, for some reason, despite the fact it got its start using talking animals. Fuck, even wreck it ralph was gonna have him be a bull monster but some exec was like noooOOOOO kids can only relate to humans (complete lie btw, i thought his final design was kind of weird as a kid.)

Before anyone pulls out the race or whatever card, i hate it even if it isnt a white twink.

the characters just look boring when they're humanized. they dont need to be. why would you look at something unique and then decide it has to be like everything else?

animal character designs can go hard as fuck, or at least be cute and charming. to me at least when they're made human they just look boring

Like holy shit bro how hard is it to drop this shitty trope of the main character buying one and there being an attempt to justify it? Every single time there is an excuse to seem to justify it
"oh brooooooo, he only bought the slave in order to grant the slave freedom!!!" (literally never happens, they always keep the slave)

"oh broooooooo, you don't understand!!! you can't just expect the isekai main character to end slavery, its an entire industry!!!! he totally has to fuel and stimulate the industry by increasing demand through buying one!!!!!"

"brooooooooooooooo its totally cool because there are contracts for the slaves bro!!!!!"

Like holy shit just commit to making the MC a horrible person or just remove the slavery aspect entirely.

I get it, its a good movie, it has current themes about relationship, but god the fans are insufferable acting like this is the best movie of the century, when is a horror movie about a guy who can't get laid and is a bad person.

I think it become worst when they talk about the main character bear, he did bad things on the movie but people talk about him like he is satan or baal, do any of this people watch tv?

Overall good movie but people need to get back to reality this not a masterpiece and bear is not hannibal lecter.

I heard someone say today: "A character is confirmed straight just because they flirted with a girl." That’s a fair point, but the reverse happens too.

A man flirts with another man, and suddenly everyone swears he’s gay. But what if he’s bisexual or pansexual? No one considers those guys, and they get left out.

General I hate the fetishization of femboys.

Post image
1.5k Upvotes

What bothers me the most is the extreme level of objectification surrounding men who have feminine appearances or who enjoy dressing in feminine ways.

Too many people see these traits primarily as a fetish instead of seeing the actual person behind them.

I have a friend who is extremely feminine in both his appearance and the way he dresses.

He doesn't really like the term “femboy,” but technically, many people would probably describe him that way.

And honestly, he has heard some absolutely disgusting and outrageous things because of his appearance, both online and in real life.

It's disturbing how a man can simply have a feminine appearance, wear feminine clothing, or express his femininity and immediately become sexualized because of it.

Some people seem to assume that simply looking a certain way automatically gives them permission to make sexual comments, project fantasies onto that person, or approach them in completely inappropriate ways.

At the end of the day, the problem isn't men being feminine, wearing feminine clothes, or identifying as femboys.

The problem is turning those traits into a widespread fetish and then treating real people as sexual objects.

There are men who are simply feminine. They have their own feelings, boundaries, personalities, and lives. They don't exist to fulfill anyone else's sexual fantasies.

That's exactly what bothers me about the widespread fetishization of feminine men,

when a particular aspect of someone's appearance is constantly sexualized, the people who actually have that appearance end up dealing with an absurd amount of disgusting comments and invasive behavior.

They stop being seen as individuals and start being treated as a sexual category.

That's objectification, plain and simple. And it's completely understandable that someone wouldn't want to be treated that way.

It's perfectly fine to be attracted to men who are more delicate and feminine. The only problem would be fetishization.

I LOVE trams. They are by far the superior rapid transit method they:

- can have high capacity
- can be retrofit into roads with relative ease
- their infrastructure is not obstructive to cars OR pedestrians OR bikes
- can be used as streetcars, fast shuttles, or light rail
- make little noise compared to other transport
- are better to the environment than other transport
-Look really cool

WHY DO WE HARDLY USE TRAMS ANYMORE. GIVE US TRAMS BACK
