    ik theyre dumb and all but dont underestimate their rage at dumb shit. they may be.. relatively good gamers, but they're still gamers at heart. did you see the /r/animemes fiasco? iirc an old chapo user Nyaanarchist is a mod there. not sure if they went over to hexbear, or in the lifeboat discord or w/e

        oh my god you havent? that subreddit banned the slur tr*p, and the whole subreddit was rioting over it for about a month straight. 99% of posts were about the banned word. they lost 100k subscribers in 15 days. The spinoff subreddit, /r/animememes, dedicated to the ability to say a slur, now has 800k users. Most deranged behavior ive seen on reddit.

        worth noting, they didnt really do much to mitigate the hysteria. they tried dialoguing with the upset community and it didnt work. nothing could appease them. i think if it really comes to it, just put the sub on private for a few days and it would probably blow up. don't allow people to only post about the god dang t*nkie mods 🤢

          i am def not allowing multiple posts about it, since it has zero relevance to the actual sub, i just left this one up because i find it extremely funny and the hysteria over basically nothing is wild as fuck

          i am absolutely not interested in opening a dialogue with a bunch of 16 year old democrats lol, but i have found if i tell them to eat shit they get outrageously mad that a "mod acts like this" which is frankly, extremely funny.

          the absolute worst that i will do is just remove off topic posts and also tell everyone to eat shit and get owned. though i am also considering making me and the mods the only approved posters, locking the sub, changing the banner to Xi Jinping playing VR and making every post on the front page a link to various leftist readings.

          And now that you mention it, i do remember hearing about that, but i did not know the response was that fuckin wild. not very surprising though, anime people are massssssive weirdos on the same level that gamers are. I say this as someone who has been going to cons since 2004 lol

            No you don’t understand. You are both an internet janny that is lower than filth and not deserving of any respect, as well as an official(tm) representative of the community and must be on your best behavior at all times.

              I think its fucked up that people shit on janitors like that. Its extremely common it seems.

              Typical lib shit to do though. Shit on people they dont respect when it serves them. Homeless, drug addicts, janitors, food service.

              Preaching to the choir but you know

              It is truly bizarre that there is an expectation of a customer service-esque experience when talking to some fuckin rando who made the unfortunate decision of applying rules to a forum lol. Im not paid, and this shit is like a minor hobby lol I have no idea why people think im gonna be courteous with dumb shit

          Goodanimemes is the chud sub. r/animememes is run by comrades and the t-slur was always banned.

          Edit: lmao thats the sub ran by Nyanarchist xD unless they also ran The orignal animemes? Seems like everyone here is a bit mixed up. :ohnoes:
