There’s nothing wrong with him disagreeing with your opinions on what “toxic and bigoted behavior” constitutes…

I guess it depends on what type of behavior you think he’s “defending” and what’s being said in those specific instances so if you could provide those examples you mention that would be for the best.

The dude directed the link towards me, him and I are good friends, it was just a ha ha funny end of NNN joke. I think you're blowing this extremely out of proportion, I don't feel harassed at all. I don't see how him posting that image towards me in a joking manner is any worse than the extremely nsfw pfps worn all throughout this site.

Reducing someone's orientation to your own fetish (even admitting that's the only part of LGBTQ+ people he cares about) is offensive, yes

Our rules are pretty explicit on it:
I don't think any harassment was intended, but his actions were still undeniably wrong. What he posted could have been much worse, which is why he isn't perma-banned and was only given a light sentence. It was still a link to a **** site either way.

It’s not just that, dude openly had a history of using homophobic slurs on the site + he was also being offensive to those with religious beliefs, not just to the LGBTQ+ community.
Either way the issue is settled and I think was happened was warranted.

It wasn't pornographic tho... it was just as lewd as an AKM pfp. It was Kaguya side boob and ass...

Girls in bikini isn't NSFW... Girls literally naked is and even linking a **** site as well
- 20,350
- 30,636
She wasn't naked...
- 20,616
- 15,270
Let's assume she wasn't, you can literally see hinata's breasts naked on the bottom right

It may have sounded offensive, but no offense was intended. You can say things and not mean to hurt a person. Sure, what he said was ridiculous and he should have thought before he acted, but nothing he did was really offensive in the sense of wanting to hurt anyone as far I can see

When I clicked on the link it was a picture of KAGUYA in a cooking apron, I'm not assuming anything, she verbatim wasn't nude

Don't we usually give warnings before an insta-ban tho? Pretty sure AnimeFreak had a clean record before this
- 3,888

You don’t think saying every single person who follows a religious belief is homophobic has intent to cause offense in it?
- 20,350
- 30,636
Yeah where is AF2's warning? Like the dude recognized he made a mistake and said he'd be more careful. This is way too strict
- 20,616
- 15,270
And hinata's breasts was naked bottom right as well in that same image
- 18,393
- 14,332
I may be blind… but they are covered as well. Unless you want to say “nipples”, then this is sexist right now.

No. Our rules page specifies this, and I quoted it up above.
It is a temporary ban.
- 18,393
- 14,332
Agreed
If I am not wrong, they were covered. Look at it carefully.
- 20,350
- 30,636
Ik but this is extreme for a hiccup, I doubt AF2 even saw the Hinata watermark, I know I didn't see it until Monkey pointed it out.
- 20,616
- 15,270
Bro... They are literally out... You can see them with no cover
This isn't debatable at all
- 18,393
- 14,332
Having no bra does not mean you are not covered. What? I re-checked it five times, they are covered.
- 20,616
- 15,270
Bottom right... Hinata, not kaguya
There is no bra, no clothes, no nothing... Just bare skin
- 3,763

Do you really think people are scrolling all the way down to view the watermark next to her feet?
- 34,604
- 35,058
I trust DDM's judgement on this, but other staff can still weigh in with their thoughts on it if they want.
For everyone else, I would recommend not posting too much here on this thread. You've all said your piece, and the ban has been applied already. Let other staff comment on it if they wish.
- 18,393
- 14,332
Damn... I never knew you were talking about this small, irrelevant part that no one will realise it. Damn bro, u have sharp eyes.
Ok then, that's not debatable.
- 3,763
- 2,138
That's a lie. Shes wearing clothes. DId you not look at the watermark?
- 16,281
- 25,009
I suppose the “This will lead to an automatic ban without warning” rule for linking **** sites makes the ban warranted
- 18,393
- 14,332
True, I just re-checked it now, she had clothes. But bro, who will see the watermark, I literally did not notice it until he mentioned it

What about PFPs of girls in bikinis or nude chest men? Would you say those are appropriate and accessible to all ages?

We had a thread on that topic a few months ago. It was decided that they're fine. Here: https://vsbattles.com/threads/provocative-images-and-profile-pictures.141542/

It’s just odd that linking to such images is insta ban worthy but having it as your PFP or in your banner is okay

I am inclined to agree with Arc7Kuroi regarding that the image that AnimesFreak2 posted did not involve sex, drawings of underage characters, or even frontal nudity, nor was it posted in order to be offensive. I think that a warning instruction would have been sufficient. We cannot be too strict and totalitarian.
As for UltimateDarkGod666, he seems to have a repeating history of proudly outspoken homophobic sentiments, so I don't mind his ban.
I don't think that we should punish heterosexual men for finding lesbian couples attractive any more than we should punish women for being fans of yaoi manga though. It is an ultimately harmless fetish, and has nothing to do with hatred or intolerance.
Also, there genuinely do exist very reliable PEW Research comprehensive statistics surveys regarding that many Muslims and Christians are very uncomfortable with homosexuality. Other statistics show that they are quickly growing more tolerant in this area, particularly younger people, which is very good, but we cannot just systematically lie and pretend that this is not the case, and say that anybody who has read the statistics is somehow bigoted or has something personally against either homosexuals, Muslims, or Christians in general.
That said, UltimateDarkGod666 really did just use it as an excuse for being bigoted himself, which is another issue entirely.

Yes, it was just Kaguya in a cooking apron from behind. Even her breasts were not seen. I do not think that a ban seems necessary here. I do not like being too strict with punishments in general.
