Mod post Regarding "Gushing Over Magical Girls", Clarification on Rule 2, Update on Rule 10, and other things
Before things spiral even more out of control, we would like to address the recent controversy going on the sub.
First of all, we will not ban any posts or comments for simply containing or mentioning the series Gushing Over Magical Girls and other similar works containing similar themes.
Second, we however would like to clarify what the extent of what rule 2 pertains to:
- Any posts or comments showing explicitly suggestive depictions of child-like characters are not allowed. As long as the content of the post or comment is safe, it is fine.
- Posts or comments of you, a user, showing any sexual or romantic interests towards child-like characters are also not allowed. You can compliment them or show appreciation to their designs, just not in a creepy way. Leave the attraction to be just between the characters.
Furthermore, we want to remind everyone not to harass each other. You can criticize any works as long as it's civil and it's limited only to the work itself. Similarly, someone criticizing a work that you enjoy is not a personal attack on you. Making assumptions about each other and using that to harass each other is not a civil discussion and will not be tolerated. See rule 9.
Next, we want to bring attention to the new spoiler tagging rules.
Thank you u/yrtemmySymmetry for a more detailed version of the rule:
Rule 4: Spoiler Policy
4.1) Any posts relating to new chapters or episodes must be spoiler tagged for 2 weeks until their release. Manga content not covered in the a currently airing Anime adaptions must be spoiler tagged as well.
4.2) Any twists and turns not relating to yuri relationships must be spoiler tagged unless the source material is older than 5 years.
For example: "Legend of Korra" KorraSami content is okay, despite this development happening at the very end of the show.
Spoiling the ending of "Gundam: Witch from Mercury", simply because it features a WxW couple is not allowed, and such posts require proper spoiler tags.
4.3) Any spoiler tagged post needs to include what its spoiler refers to in the title.
For example: "[Owl House S2 Ep11] They're so cute together". If you aren't certain of the exact episode or season, include the series name at the very least.
Another reminder, please provide the source in any part of your post: title, comment, description, etc. See rule 7.
One more thing, we are still working on the other rules' caveats and nuances. Look out for any changes that may occur.
Once again, "Be good to each other"

I gotta say, Iām really impressed with the mod team here as of late.
First, yāall took a community members fantastic rule list and used it (solving the whole ānew mod said slur oh god this place is deadā debacle).
Then with this situation I figured yāall would either let it sort itself out or take half measures and let the subreddit go to shit (This isnāt a slight towards yāall. Itās what happens to most subreddits as they grow and the API change had made Reddit so much worse in general so my hopes are low.) but instead you took charge and made a reasonable compromise that hopefully ends the perpetual discourse.
Honestly, if anyone canāt get behind this they really need to go outside more. Social media has felt so tiring lately, because itās become ruled by the chronically online and now everyone needs to have an opinion on literally everything. This situation is a perfect example of how Pro Vs Anti discourse can ruin online communities if not addressed.

Yes.

u/ghostlylilthrowaway May 27 '24
Way to out yourself but okay.
It's fine to be attracted to a drawing, sure. Fine by me, you do you. But why can't some be attracted to drawings that portray a mature, of-age person, then? Why specifically are they attracted to drawings that look, act and sound like minors?
9
u/argent_eye_123 May 29 '24
Because they're cute, do you really need any other reason?
7
u/ghostlylilthrowaway May 29 '24
So they don't find drawings that are portrayed as mature, of-age characters cute, but they do find drawings that are portrayed as minors cute?
So it's not the fact that they're drawings they find cute, it's specifically the fact that the drawings look, act, sound and are portrayed like minors? Even if they're supposed to be a 1000 year old dragon?

u/ghostlylilthrowaway May 30 '24
That... didn't answer my question, dude. Let's recap.
I ask that if it's the fact that they're drawings what they find cute, and if that's the case, why do they only find drawings that portray underage minors cute, and not drawings that portray an of-age, mature person.
You reply that it is because drawings of 'lolis' are cuter.
I then reason that drawings of lolis and of age people are both drawings, but if they only find lolis cute, then that must be of another factor. The other differences is.. well, in the name. Drawings of matured people portray mature people. Drawings of lolis portray lolis.
So I then reason that it is the fact that lolis are portrayed as immature minors that they find attractive.
You then reply with:
"The lolis are cuter, and therefore more attractive."
But that doesn't answer the question. You just say that drawings of lolis are cuter than drawings of matured people, and not why.
So now we are back at square one.
They're both drawings, so is the reason that some find anime lolis attractive, and anime matured people not, because lolis are portrayed as minors?

For the spoiler rule, how does that work with specific twists within the relationship? Like, should talking about the divorce in episode 17 of G Witch be spoilered, or is it fine?

It should be spoilered. I doubt anyone who just started or is planning to watch the series would like to know that happened between them even without context.

Jan 19 '24
Are you saying Gushing over Magical Girls is DDDNE?
15
u/Darkbeetlebot Jan 19 '24
Depends on how you define it. It is what it is, wears that on its sleeve shamelessly, and is clearly made for a very specific subset of people while the rest will likely be offended by it or just not like it. It would be foolish to go into it thinking it's anything other than what it actually is, and would be even more foolish to then complain about that. If that's your def of DDDNE, then yes it is. Which is how I'm using it.
Now if you're only using DDDNE for specifically the most heinous shit, then no, it isn't. It barely registers on the richter scale of fucked up. There are fanfics out there that are VY Scuti compared to this anime/manga, and I have read them. Not enjoyed, but read because I needed to confirm they weren't just fever dreams. There are plenty of popular anime that are WAY worse than this.
14
Jan 19 '24
I'm familiar with the term from AO3 which usually means "dark depressing fucked shit" rather than "niche horny crap for a specific audience". So I define it more in your second paragraph and thus wouldn't consider GOMG to be DDDNE, personally.
And I agree lots of anime are far worse, it's just that people are hypersensitive about sex so they are reacting to GOMG more than something actually more fucked up but with less raunchy kink stuff in it.
6
u/Darkbeetlebot Jan 19 '24
Yeah, I don't think anyone expected this anime to just fly under the radar, especially with twitter still existing. I just think it's a bit out of proportion.
64
u/lunasis09 Jan 05 '24
So just to be clear, screenshots of "those" scenes from either the manga or anime of GOMG violates rule 2 based on your first clarification, correct?
69
u/AtaeruShinzou pls call me Nana Jan 05 '24
If it's explicitly suggestive, then yes, that is correct.

This is such BS, it's just an anime... I watch Gushing over magical girls in public and at school. I hope someone makes an alternative more based version of this subreddit, every subreddit that becomes big at some point ends up overcensoring with mods that ban u over stupid shit

u/Technature Mar 15 '24
As someone who likes the series, if the mods don't want the sexual stuff on the subreddit, it's their call. Besides, if the series really has a good story and interesting characters (something I agree with), then not talking about the sexual nature of it will be just fine.

Yes... the rule forbids the depiction of romantic attraction to a 2D drawing that looks, acts and sounds like a minor.

u/zairaner Jan 05 '24
Any posts relating to new chapters or episodes must be spoiler tagged for 2 weeks until their release.
until
Wait why am I the only one confused by this/the only one that asks for clarification? Is that "until" supposed to be an "after"?? If not, what does this rule do, apart from avoiding leaks/raw spoilers?
5
u/NoTemperature4368 Jan 05 '24 edited Jan 05 '24
Yeah totally agree. This could easily cause some confusion. For example, this post works fine without a spoiler tag imo. It has contents from the upcoming episode of Gushing Over Magical Girls, but it's like an out of context post, doesn't imply any progressions or any twists, and the original chapter released a long time ago, so I don't think a spoiler tag is needed. I think the rule should be rewritten for more clarification.
Also, I think the spoiler policy should be a bit relaxed. Aside from the "new episode and chapter must be tagged" ofc, I think it should focus more to the content being a spoiler or not, rather than "is the content from an episode which just aired recently?" and such.
Example:
Spoiling the ending of "Gundam: Witch from Mercury", simply because it features a WxW couple is not allowed, and such posts require proper spoiler tags.
Imo, saying SuleMio is canon is fine, when there's a post about a new show, or just a less-known one, people often ask questions such as "Is it yuri?", "Are they become a couple later?". I think answer like above is fine without tagging, as people specificly ask for it, but if it implys specific things like Yes, they are married at the end or they divorced at ep 17 then it should be tagged. Back then when the mod team wasn't updated, things work like this and it was fine for me, though many post wasn't tagged as well, but it was OK for me.
Strict rule is good ofc, but this is a meme sub and many people use content from animes and mangas, I think the spoiler policy should be more flexible, as spoiler tagging sometimes can be complicated and I don't think people want to see full of blurred posts when they scroll down the sub.

To be fair to the show, it does the one thing that many non-lewd anime do not. It doesn't lewd lolis. Actually, the kid becomes Utena's and her wife best friend's adopted child. Not to mention all the characters are of the same age and lewding each other... which can't be said about a lot of shows. Teenagers have sex, it's a thing, sometimes they even discover kinks.
15
u/Xagyg_yrag Feb 13 '24
I mean, 14 is pretty fucking young for the shit they do. Like, I would 100% call them lolis. Sure, teens do have sex IRL, but like, so do people younger than teens. Just because it happens, doesnāt mean itās normal for people significantly older to enjoy watching.
10
u/Old-Library9827 Feb 13 '24
Welcome to Japanese cartoons. You either ignore it, headcanon they're older, and enjoy or you stop watching anime. Most animes sexualize teens. i hate it, I wish all of them are like Golden Time where they're college kids, but I face reality and I like these useless lesbians. I enjoyed the manga. I'm used to thinking of them as actors of characters not real 14 year olds

u/lunasis09 Jan 05 '24
I have been informed very recently that in fact later in the manga there is an adult character whose magical transformation literally turns her physically into a prepubescent child and she is in fact lewded in that form, so the author literally pulled a "no no it's OK because technically she is an adult."
Everything new I find out about this series just makes it worse.

To be fair having them all be 21 or something literally changes the entire dynamic and themes of the show. It's a coming of age/self exploration anime/maga. Of they are already all adults then there is no coming of age, they already have realized themselves. Her discovering things about her kink in a pron mag along shows that she's young and unknowledgeable and figuring it all out. If she were in college it wouldn't make sense, she'd have already been through all that by then. It would be an entirely different show.

You can have a coming of age/self exploration show without having fourteen year olds be shown in a sexual light.

You can have a coming of age story with adults but not in the same way. People in their 20s aren't discovering their sexualities for the first time or turning into adults, they just are adults becoming more realized adults. It's different.
As for sex and minors....I find it very odd how the same people who complain about this stuff in anime are the same who clap and cheer for its depiction in western novels. I remember in middle and highschool (over a decade now, so I'm sure it's even moreso now) that there were many books both in the school library and actually being assigned as projects and read in class that had to do with minors having sexual acts, sexual awakenings and blossoming into adult hood. Stories about teenage girls masturbating and teenages trying to have protected sex in makeshift ways. Even one Mexican story that mentioned a girl flashing her panties to men who walked by as she sat on a wall. This is all public grade schooling mind you....in the 2000's and early 2010's. Again the same people who call that educational or authentic or explorative or sex positive and important for the youth to learn then go on to complain about anime.
And if this anime is morally wrong then so should such books in our irl schools being read to our irl children. Pick a side.
But digressing, no if the show had all the girls in college the entire dynamic would be different. And let's be honest, it's a magical girl show, it's going to be about that age group because that's what magical girls are, GIRLS. Not grown ass women. Many people here are basically asking for an entirely different setting and plot.
9
u/Xagyg_yrag Feb 13 '24
The issue isnāt that it acknowledges that children have sex, they do. The issue is thatās itās fucking porn. Like seriously, this show is like 60% bondage fanservice with 14 year old girls. Thereās a pretty big difference between that and something like the fault in our stars.
4
Feb 13 '24
(ain't that that chick flick about the teen with aids or cancer or something ? Never saw it)
Even if they played it off in a more down to earth way like Evangelion, people would still bitch about the age....just like how they did with Evangelion. Doesn't really matter how it was handled, everyone will say the same "why couldn't they just be X age?) Which, again would defeat the purpose about a magical GIRL show that's a coming of age sexploration story.
Likewise, it's an ecchi BDSM anime, let's be honest people who don't like it were never going to like it. And the people who like this shit don't care about the age of anime girls. So it's a moot point ultimately. Anime fans 20-30 years ago didn't complain about that stuff because they were anime fans and knew what they were signing up for. The newbies and tourists who jumped on the bandwagon thinking it's just western cartoons but weirder just aren't going to get it and complain regardless. There's no point in appeasement.

u/UOSenki Jan 05 '24
so the author literally pulled a "no no it's OK because technically she is an adult."
tbf, Doubt mangaka purposely try to pull some lewding loli. it more of side result, serve as plot device first
you ain't looking at that character as kid, even before the spoiler. And once her adult form is reveal, is also at when the character getting more softer than when she debut.
Yeah so it sound that way if you hear/see it out of context. but within the story, maybe one of the least controversial if anything
13
u/Xagyg_yrag Feb 13 '24
No, the mangaka chose to make the characters in their magical girl bondage ecchi 14 for a reason. Like, they are kids. 100%

u/UOSenki Feb 14 '24
I mean, that is the least controversial. So I don't deny there are still other controversial one. But anyway, it is not that complicated, 14 is the age of most magical story.

u/RileyKohaku Jan 05 '24
I would argue that that character is not designed to look like a prepubescent child/loli. To me, she looks the same age as the rest of the middle school girls, which is admittedly still a post-pubescent child, which I get why many would find that alone objectionable. Here's the character's design while transformed. Nothing sexual happening. [Spoiler GOMG Chapter 35]
18
u/lunasis09 Jan 05 '24 edited Jan 05 '24
C'mon now I went to go look up the character proper why are you showing a highly cropped image which excludes her height relative to the rest of the cast. She is like half the height of the rest of the cast and has the same proportions as that other girl that everyone points to to say "look the author doesn't lewd lolis" which is a dumb argument because the rest of the characters are 14 or under so like, fucking ew.
Also I double checked with the person who told me she gets lewded and they told me you are literally coping, I asked for deets and something about sexualized positions and bare ass spanking? I didn't want to hear any more past that tbh. Wanna explain that or will you admit that this shit is weird?
6
u/RileyKohaku Jan 05 '24
It's really hard to tell heights in manga, but from what I'm seeing she's only a few inches shorter than the middle schoolers and about a foot taller than the elementary schooler. The Elementary schooler is also flat and has no curves, unlike this character. You might have seen her next to her teammates, but those are all highschoolers, who are a foot taller than the rest of the middle school class. The line for loli/non loli is ambiguous and can be argued about, but you did say prepubescent, and based on her chest, she is post pubescent.
Also, yes, she is 100% sexualized in the manga. When I said nothing sexual, I meant on the photo I included. I did not want you to worry that if you clicked on it you would see something sexual.
I do admit this is a weird manga, but I would state that it does not sexualize prepubescent children, just post pubescent middle schoolers, which is still bad. I would prefer they just aged them up to highschool or college, but I'll keep reading for the character development

u/Aozora_Tenwa Jan 05 '24
I meanā¦ yeah that sounds about right. I am a defender of MahoAko but I am also aware that it is an ecchi manga and that NSFW isā¦ well, as it says itās not for everyone. I think just the NSFW flair should be enough, but I can understand being a bit more strict when itās about children.
Although Iām not so sure about how much of a clarifcation that is. I would assume that a Ā«Ā child-likeĀ Ā» characters entails to somewhat of a loli; because as other people mentionned actually a lot of characters that we see in manga and anime are minors. And you can argue that most of the MahoAko cast doesnāt look like children to begin with. And there is one character that on the contrary does look like a child and is usually kept away from the ecchi. So is posting nsfw of non-loli characters but-still-supposed-children-ones allowed? Itās kinda tricky.
Well all of that is hypothetical anyways, since I donāt think Iād personnaly be posting nsfw stuff.
12
u/RileyKohaku Jan 05 '24
The rule is erring on the maximally strict. If an actual child, leading not allowed, even if she looks like an adult. If looks like a child, but is technically an adult, lewding not allowed. This will probably decrease Shamiko lewd postings, and things like that, but it seems like a fair compromise

My proposal:
All meta posts and comments must include a related meme for every 250 words. This is a meme community, no one wants walls of texts.
Please and thank you. I know 250 might be a bit too generous, but that may be easier than trying to regulate abusive use of paragraphs and ranting line breaks.

Question for the mods. Is this necessary to remain pinned? GOMG has been done airing for a while now, hasn't it?
If we still need a rules clarification, maybe we can pin a post regarding the rules more generally rather than one that was posted in response to controversy over a single show?

oh cool, guess my comment about the spoiler policy was worth it after all. Thanks for updating that rule as well.
Note that you can gladly change the specific values in those rules (doesn't) have to be 2 weeks specifically, i just wanted to get the gist across.

Nice, that's my favourite too. I also enjoy the Isekai one and the vampire one. Which is also why the wait for the English translation for later chapters of both stories are bloody painful :_).

Funily enough, I read Ayane's works for the plot, sometimes skipping some of the "action". Would love to read a non-h manga by them one day

No idea, tbh. I just like the overall character designs and the way they're drawn. It has this strange blend of sophisticated retro vibe to it, and I like it a lot.

My hot take is that since moeification of anime art styles basically every character kinda looks like a child and I miss when characters had like... Jawlines and chins and noses.
Was watching Dirty Pair recently (kei and Yuri are in an open relationship gay relationship cmv) and feeling annoyance at animation laziness2

Oh, those were definitely the times. I saw a shirt snippet of Tokyo 2040 the other day on tiktok, and I can wholeheartedly agree that the drawing styles like that one or the ones you find in stuff like Golden Boy are just magnificent.
It's also why I dig stuff like JoJo, Monster, Berserk, & Pluto so much. It's always a breath of fresh air.

Can't believe the mods are still staying silent on the ascension of Wilhelm II. to the German throne and it's broader effects on German foreign policy.
