    Your downvote doesn’t change reality. Dave, the person you linked, isn’t a moderator here. They weren’t relaying a mod report, they were just a user telling a story.

    You made a factually inaccurate statement and doubled down on it.

      And that marginal overstep in describing kneejerk hatred changes the discussion in some meaningful way. There’s still multiple people overtly saying ‘let’s never post this’ or ‘I automatically downvote this.’ There’s still people accusing the author of “misandry” for describing, essentially, this thread. The silent downvote was to avoid making this sort of comment, where I fully expect the reply to be some ‘ah-ha!’ that misses the point: people absolutely hate this comic for no sensible reason, and they’re not shy about it.

        You posted your comments in reply to my comment specifically, while all I have asked is for this drama shitstorm to not come here on lemmy. I never accused her of misandry, never asked for any prohibition of her work, never even made any mention of the comic at hand or the topic it alludes to. Yet I was lumped in with incels and accused of trying to enforce prohibition.

        Personally, I don’t care why people have feeling about this comic creator or whether or not those reasons are sensible. I just don’t want to see this exact shit here. That’s it.

        Meanwhile you’ve been making specific accusations and basing them on what seems to be nothing more than your gut feelings and assumptions, and wouldn’t retract them even when this fact was pointed out.

        If you have issues with others and their treatment of this creator, I suggest you bring it up in replies to them, not to me.

        Genuinely, what is your goal? How would you like for this interaction to proceed or conclude?

          Your root comment is the drama.

          I am specifically taking issue with your treatment of this creator.

          I want you to stop having and publicly expressing a kneejerk reaction to seeing this artist’s work, if there’s no justifiable reason. You didn’t say “can we please leave the drama on reddit?” You said: “can we please leave pizzacake on reddit?”

            Things do not exist in a vacuum. You cannot divorce this creator from the context of their works and fandom. That simply isn’t how the world works.

            But I am perfectly fine with you disagreeing with my take on the matter. I only object when you impugn me with false accusations. Don’t accuse me of labeling this creator as anything and don’t accuse me of calling for prohibition and I’m fine.

            Yes, I have a kneejerk reaction to seeing this creator’s work for the contextual reasons mentioned, and I am fine with you objecting to that. If that was your point, then cool, your complaint has officially been registered. But you sure did a shitty job presenting that as your point.

              You don’t ever want to see this artist’s comics posted here, regardless of what those comics are. Clutch your pearls all you like - that’s awful. That’s terrible behavior, and you blame it on other people. Splitting hairs about how and why exactly you never want to see her work again simply means nothing.

              It is inseparable from the very drama you are whining about in the first place. It is that drama.

              You are actively participating in this abuse.

                Abuse is an absurd suggestion, especially considering the overt special treatment this creator receives on the other site. Just a bananas suggestion. Nobody is entitled to my viewership, and I am welcome to express my viewing preferences, even attempt to exert them within the realms of reason. Saying “I don’t like this content and I do not want to see more of it” is not abuse to anyone, in any stretch of the imagination.

                  “Drama shitstorm” sounds pretty abusive, my guy. People are so toxic about this artist that you never want to see her work again. Have you even expressed an opinion of this content? Unless I’m mistaken, you’ve insisted you don’t even care what the comic is, because you’re automatically opposed to the “context.” You are effectively blaming the artist for the whiners who follow her around complaining about her.

                  How is what you’re doing not participating in that whining? What’s the fucking difference?

                  But oh, my apologies, why should anyone else be “entitled” to post anything you don’t like? What a reasonable framing, not absurd in the slightest. All you’ve done is ask that nobody ever post anything from this person ever again. That’s totally distinct from prohibition in ways that matter.

      I am in fact an admin of this instance, and that was in fact a user report and not a story I was telling.

        I stand corrected then, sorry.

        I am surprised to learn that while user mod status is listed on the user page, apparently admin status is not. I wonder if that’s just an oversight or by design.

        I’m also surprised to learn that user reports apparently are sent to instance admins rather than community moderators; that’s not how I would have expected.

        Thank you for clarifying and correcting my error, cheers. ✌️

          Reports are sent to community mods and to the instance admins of the community, the poster/commenter, and the reporter.
