AMA Lmao I got shadow banned on r/animemes

Ian · August 10, 2020, 09:53:00 PM

I can only guess because I criticized their decision not to undo the ban on the word trap. I wasn't even defending the word, I was just saying that lifting the ban would solve literally all of their problems.

It's pretty fun how literally the only thing they have to do to make all of this go away is undo the ban and they wont. They wouldn't even need another discussion thread, a vast majority of the shit posting would disappear instantly and they'd stop hemorrhaging subs overnight if they just undid the ban. Every time I refresh the main page the sub number goes down, and it's been going down faster to boot.

Shadow bans are literally the most cowardly thing you can do. The post was in the sticky meta discussion thread so it's not like it was just a random shit post like the literal thousands of other comments that are right now. JFC

Aren't they the same sub that brigaded all of reddit when one on their users got the hammer for something silly? How times change.

Honestly I was browsing r/dankmemes on my breaks at work until I learned that there was some sort of shit-show going on over on this subreddit.

I'm surprised I haven't gotten banned from r/Halo yet

Honestly same, just goes to show moderation from site to site (or in this case, subreddit to subreddit) can be wildly different.

When was "trap" ever supposed to be derogatory?

it was originally just a dumb star wars reference until it started being used to describe transwomen or crossdressers who were presumed to be actively attempting to deceive heterosexual men, when in reality, they're just minding their own business while dressing the way they please—they're not trying to "trap" anyone

i'm sure there are men who go to public places dressed as women with the sole intent of tricking hetero guys into sleeping with them, and you would probably be justified in calling them traps, especially if that's how they identify themselves

but the word does have transphobic history, and you could argue that its use tends to lump you into a group of people that the enlightened (or just humorless) folk among us would consider undesirable

alphy · August 11, 2020, 10:40:51 AM

i honestly left that sub, i was tired of seeing all the posts about it

i just want memes bruh

Ian · August 11, 2020, 12:32:17 PM

It's Zero-Twosday and there aren't any memes of her on the front page, going to show just how far damaged the place has become.

It really is. r/GrandOrder mods will without warning delete just about anything that isn't a pair of anime tits with a gelbooru link while on r/CardfightfightVanguardZero the only reason we know there even are mods is because sometimes once in a blue moon one of might show up to delete one if the posts shitting on them for not moderating.

I thought traps weren't supposed to be trans-women. Just "fem-boys" who present as feminine but still identify as male.

I think you may want to consider taking a hard look at where you're going in life if you feel the need to talk about your use of Reddit on another site, and how you post enough on a board focused on "anime memes" enough to actually get banned.

Ian · August 12, 2020, 09:57:12 AM

Interestingly enough, I never actually posted on r/animemes until now. I was always subbed but I never even visited the place. I learned what was going on from one of the Discord servers I'm in, I made one post in their AMA which received a mod response but I made one more post days later which I can only imagine was the cause for the shadowban.

The thread is more to poke fun at the fact that the sub is on fire and they seem to be trying to put it out by pouring gasoline over it. They were at 945k subs at their peak and one mod said they'd be fine with losing 10k if it meant the sub would be better without them and they're about to go under 900k and it's been eight or nine days straight of non-stop shitposting.

Wait wat? Like I know r/Metroid's mods can be weird like how they removed a dude's posts who make Metroid themed Halo forge maps but what the hell?

The moderator that banned me decided to flag my post as a meme (which is somehow banned in the subreddit I guess?) even though the image posted in the body was just Dark Samus at the end of MP2.

Ian · August 13, 2020, 10:16:47 AM

The only thing I really have to say is that it really isn't surprising that something like that is being sexualized when things like Chernobyl-chan and Black Hole-chan exist.

Jeez, that's such an arbitrary post to get banned for considering every other Zero Suit fanart that gets posted has similar discussion. Did someone shit on that particular mod's pancakes that morning?
