Welcome to the Lemmy Drama community!

This is a place to share and enjoy drama across the fediverse. Grab your popcorn, and dive in!

Rules:

1. Don't bring your own drama.

If you are a part of the drama, don't post it here. We're here to enjoy drama, not see it brought to this community.

2. Be civil.

No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. No ongoing drama.

if there’s been a comment in the past 3 days, wait until it’s settled down.

5. No interacting with the drama you find here.

That means no upvotes, no downvotes, and no commenting in the original thread.

6. Keep the drama focused on Lemmy and/or the fediverse only.

If it’s Kbin or Mastodon drama, it must be a quality effort post.

7. Don’t piss on the popcorn.

Inciting brigades is an automatic ban.

8. Mod Perogative

We reserve the right to enforce the rules however we like.

there was an update from the admins of lemmy.nsfw where language barriers got in the way and the wrong impression was made, which was quickly addressed by the instance's other admin as well as edited by its' original author.

this got people in this instance concerned until the edit was made, however in two threads about it on kbin social the anime PFPs came out to play and the head admin of dataterm was obligated to comment as well

the funniest part is, it really demonstrates the truth of stereotypes about people with anime loli PFPs. at least a couple of the commenters in those threads are going to end up on watchlists.

The use of the "pedo" tag is most certainly a modern phenomena. Probably less than 3 years ago that tag didn't even exist.

I am not Japanese and don't live in Japan, so I cannot speak to the opinions of Japanese people. However, historically speaking, Japan has basically stonewalled modern Western "progressive" thinking, especially when it relates to anime. Consistent efforts by Westerners to "cancel" VTubers and various anime online have always been met with extreme ridicule by Japanese. There are a few that have more Western thinking, but ultimately I think its just a major difference in culture.
