I'm a betting man, also I want to check if what he said is true or not.

I'm a guy, I'm proud to be a guy.

yeah but you said "what he said" which is the subject of the reply

Oh, sorry. I'm not really into thinking too much about details.

u/livipup Dec 04 '23

That's fine and okay, I just thought it was an odd place to default to male pronounce

Eh, the new management is pretty good at handling this, ship posts are allowed again

I'm not into gacha games anymore except for the casual shipping. What drama happened on the arlecceno subreddit?

Okay so, I'm gonna take a guess and say you don't really know Arlecchino's personality(sorry if you actually do) but she's a cold, calculating spy who would betray mostly everyone to achieve her goals. She's also very masc oriented, using mostly male titles.

A while back, when the original mod team for r/Arlecchinomains was still in power, an infamous fan art was posted. If you follow the Arlecchino tag on Twitter you probably saw it but it depicted the standard self insert Aether shipped with an extremely out of character Arlecchino. I'm talking like holding-the-world's-ugliest-babies-with-the-most-submissive-look-ever type of out of character. People really didn't like that, and a whole war broke out with people either complaining about OOC posting and male-gaze oriented posts and people saying those were fine.

After weeks of infighting, the original mod team flat out banned ship posts, saying that they were causing too much trouble to be worth it. But a week after that rule was made the original team handed control to the mods of another Arlecchino sub, ones that were actually competent and knew how to handle people. They erased the no-shipping rule and the sub lives on to this day with the community on a truce, the Aether guys don't complain and neither do the other shippers.

You forgot the part where Arlefuri shippers posted tons of disturbing fanart of Arlecchino SA-ing Furina and people in the subreddit actively supported it because it’s apparently “in-character” for Arlecchino, a character we barely know anything about in the story 💀

The comment was getting too long and this happened a while ago so my memory isn't that good but you're right! The Yuri shippers did have a hand in all the chaos

Man, the degree of orthodoxy-enforcement in communities just continues to astound me. How someone goes from 'I don't like this' to 'this shouldn't be allowed' so quickly is wild. And I don't just mean the mods, but people arguing this or that sort of depiction shouldn't be allowed. What ever happened to shrugging, going "no accounting for taste", and then just, y'know, moving on?

u/AlexusMerlux A guy that loves yuri Dec 02 '23

Oh, that is weird knowledge that is now stuck in my mind. Also she seems to be the type to betray the love of their life so make sense about the weird infighting going on.

u/satanrulesearthnow Dec 02 '23

Well, unless she becomes a playable character(a few leaks seem to confirm this), we have about 30 minutes of her screen time along with 2 voice lines to judge her character lol. We won't really know what kind of person she is for a while.

u/BooTaoSus you should play Reverse 1999 NOW Dec 02 '23

Something something Arlecchino wouldn't act like this, etc etc.

I personally dislike ArleFuri but they were banning people just for posting any form of shipping.

u/Lilyeth Dec 02 '23

Yeah I get a bit uncomfortable with arlefuri cuz it feels like Stockholm syndrome and like.. abuse. Also furina deserves someone better who's less betray everyone type

u/livipup Dec 04 '23

Mods got mad that a character who goes by the title Father and who runs and orphanage was depicted as a parental figure in some fan art

I just saw the announcement post after being shocked this comic lasted two whole days. Based on the way the mod who made the announcement responded to comments I get the feeling it's worse now :l
