I’m not talking about being racist though, I’m talking specifically about the loli question.
And if you’d been around 8chan in the beginning or even fse a couple of years ago, it was very common for d&c shills to make these exact types of arguments.
And that was not happening due to monetization.
It is still a pretty common gayop on 4chan to try to consensus crack using anime.

I don’t think that the rulecuck in the pic is a paid/cointelpro shill, but I’m pretty sure he does hate anime and anime communities and is consciously trying to subvert it.

@Pyrrho @KusaMower @float

I understand what you are saying but the arguments used are rarely about the legality of it.
It’s usually about pedojacketing and breaking up communities.
Some communities may find it distasteful and it’s still not in their best interest to ban it. Just so as not to open themselves up to this type of shilling.

There’s a reason most freespeech instances allow loli, and it’s not because the admins/owners are coomers.
It is because what this guy is doing can d&c any anime community.
It’s usually the first subversion tactic to hit any freespeech space with sensible rules.
It’s impossible to properly define a drawn character’s age and people can have bad faith arguments all day long.

Through this great tool that lists fedi instances http://demo.fedilist.com/

I don’t think you should be that concerned attracting people that are just now migrating from reddit.
Anybody who still used reddit up until a week ago doesn’t care about free speech at all, if he isn’t actively against it that is.
The free speech side of the fedi as a whole is much more fun than the censoring one.
Overtime the ban happy side will fracture into multiple completely isolated instances just like the mastodon/pleroma side has.

On the other hand there is a gigantic pool of people that have been leaving reddit for the past decade or so and either went to small forums, pleroma or imageboards. Reddit becoming a hyper censored corporate storefront was a gradual process.
