When the response is ‘mods should ban this artist’s work,’ absofuckinglutely more justification is needed. Kneejerk hatred for something popular is childish. Whining about it to others is performative sneering. Expecting authority to enforce a shallow contrarian opinion is just plain shitty.
Underlined in bold when half the complaints go ‘We’re not like that! Fuck this bitch!’
true but wanting people to stop posting something and asking the mods to ban it are different things, if that is what u got from the original comment that is an extremely… extreme reading of it. If that is the context u had in mind for ur comment i dont disagree but imma be honest i think u misread it.
Your downvote doesn’t change reality. Dave, the person you linked, isn’t a moderator here. They weren’t relaying a mod report, they were just a user telling a story.
You made a factually inaccurate statement and doubled down on it.
And that marginal overstep in describing kneejerk hatred changes the discussion in some meaningful way. There’s still multiple people overtly saying ‘let’s never post this’ or ‘I automatically downvote this.’ There’s still people accusing the author of “misandry” for describing, essentially, this thread. The silent downvote was to avoid making this sort of comment, where I fully expect the reply to be some ‘ah-ha!’ that misses the point: people absolutely hate this comic for no sensible reason, and they’re not shy about it.

The politest comment in a wave of kneejerk backlash is still part of that wave.
i havent seen any comment here calling for it to be banned.
You did zero looking.
literally not a comment calling for it to be banned. are u ok? do u know how to read? do u understand the meaning of words? u seem confused.
There is not a single comment there asking for pizzacake to be banned.
It’s a report asking the mods to remove pizzacake comics for being pizzacake comics.
It’s a story that some random posted. Dude isn’t even a mod here.
Even then, a single person abusing the report function isn’t a genuine call for prohibition by anyone.

I am in fact an admin of this instance, and that was in fact a user report and not a story I was telling.

I never asked for mods to ban pizzacake, I asked the potential audience to practice a little bit of discernment in their tastes.
I think this is an important distinction, personally.
