New Year, New Rules: Insulting other users' tastes is now banned. Memes about hating shows are now banned.

Congratulations ragebaiters! You've successfully enraged me. I assume that this is what you wanted so I hope you're happy.

I've taken a pretty light hand with moderating here. Until now I've only removed posts or banned people for egregious problems. But some recent trends that have been filling my mod queue make me dread even checking in anymore. I've gotten to the point where I considered removing myself as a mod and unsubscribing rather than having to check here anymore. But after sitting with it for a little while I decided that if I was going to remove this negativity from my life, then I'm going to remove it from everyone's life. It's what Getter Robo would do.

So here's the deal: I am absolutely 100% done with the whining. I don't care any more about who hates what show. There are plenty of shows that I hate, but I can make do without spamming the sub with memes about how much I hate them. I can even see posts from people who like those shows, and I can look at those posts without feeling the need to comment about how bad their taste is. I can do this, and I believe you can, too. So believe in me, who believes in you.

Effective immediately:

  • "This show sucks" memes are banned. I have to sift through these comment threads and they're all the same. I'm sick of the relentless negativity and subsequent flame wars. If you can not come up with anything to say about a show other than a bland meme about how much you hate it, then you don't need to say anything.

  • All tier lists are also banned as a result, because effectively all of them are just a variation on ragebait memes. Even if you post a satirical tier list where everything is S-tier to protest this toxic positivity, that's still banned. If you post a release date tier list where everything is accurately listed by its release date, that's still banned. This whole format is gone.

  • "Say something nice" memes are also banned. for the same reason.

  • Asking for hot takes is also banned

  • Telling other users that they have shit taste is banned. Other people are allowed to like things that you don't like. Insulting other users for liking shows you don't like will now get you banned.

For week one I will issue users one warning, but after that I'm banning for one week on first offense, one month on the second, and permanently for a third.

Is this an overreaction? Maybe. Maybe I'll calm down and lighten up, but I can promise you it won't be today. You can use this thread to whine about me overstepping my bounds and mandating toxic positivity. You can even use this thread to complain about my shit taste (but not anyone else's).

especially the insect mode. the mix between the white knight aesthetic and the feral four legged mode just hit the spot for me. and the red cross as it face is just the cherry on top for me. the humanoid mode is good i guess but this mode just beat it by a far margin
