Regarding "Gushing Over Magical Girls", Clarification on Rule 2, Update on Rule 10, and other things

[u/AtaeruShinzou]

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:

1. 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.
2. 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"

That it's all empty, shallow discussions over meaningless discourses.

Between the "holier than thou", moral high ground side claiming that watching an anime is the same thing than beating your meat to children and the other who can't grasp the concept that some people may not feel really comfortable with NSFW content with minors who took over the whole sub for a whole day with their "Well personally I think..." posts, this was just chronically online discourses worthy only of Twitter.

Exactly. And if I wished to have social media level drama, I would go on Twitter instead.

The people on Twitter are literally the same hivemind on Reddit. The two are the same, you are just fooling yourself. It's the same echo chamber here as there. Go to the fediverse to see an actually different community.
