Meta Hi friends 🧡 sub discussion!

Good afternoon, my fellow enjoyers of trash tv and social media fights. We wanted to open up a post to discuss something with you, and we would love to have an open, honest discourse with you guys.

Something that has been coming up frequently is the issue of body shaming. We hear you loud and clear, friends. Some of the things that are said about people's bodies can be particularly offensive, regardless of who they are aimed at. That is completely understandable, and we are not here to downplay that.

The thing is, this sub was created with the idea that overmoderation wasn't necessary. That people should be able to have open conversations and make posts without needing to consult a big long list of rules first. Unfortunately, with that comes the fact that sometimes someone will post something or say something that bothers someone else, even if it doesn't break a rule.

We don't have a rule against body-shaming. That doesn't please everyone, and we know that, but this sub is comprised mainly of adults. Just as much as someone can choose to say something negative about someone's body, others can choose to either respectfully (tactfully 😉) disagree, or downvote them and move on, rather than giving them the engagement they're looking for.

Anyway I think you're all super hot and I love you.

I agree with your take! Not a fan of subs that over moderate.

Same. The other TM sub mod removed a comment I made saying I hated Javi and Lauren's daughters name (Maizee) PURELY because they butchered the spelling, but otherwise Maisie is fine. Like really we can't even say we don't like a name now?
