Community rules:

Be respectful and civil with each other. Don't be a jerk. There is a real human being on the other side of your screen. See also the Blahaj.Zone Community Rules

No bigotry of any kind allowed. Making racist, sexist, trans-/homo-/queerphobic, otherwise demeaning and hateful comments is not ok. Disabilities and mental illnesses are not to be used as insults and should not be part of your comment unless speaking of your own or absolutely relevant.

No gatekeeping and being rude to people who don't agree with you. Leave “gamer” stereotypes out of your comment (e.g. sexless, neck bearded, teenaged, basement-dwelling, etc). Don't compare people to animals, or otherwise deny their humanity. Even if you think someone is the worst human on the planet, do not wish death or harm upon them.

No "justice porn". Posts regarding legal action and similar is allowed, but celebrating someone being harmed is not.

Contrarianism for its own sake is unnecessary and not welcome.

No planning operations, no brigading, no doxxing or similar activities allowed.

Absolutely no defense of GamerGate and other right-wing harassment campaigns, no TERFs and transphobia, racism, dismissing of war crimes and praise of fascists. This includes “JAQing off”, intentionally asking leading questions while pretending to be a neutral party. This also applies to other forms of authoritarianism and authoritarian or criminal actions by liberal or leftist governments.

NSFW threads, such as ones discussing erotic art, pornography and sex work, must be tagged as such.

Moderators can take action even if none of the rules above are broken.

On October 27, 2024, two districts in the state of Tennessee called for the removal of various manga titles from school libraries. The series, among which are beloved franchises like Jujutsu Kaisen, My Hero Academia, and Attack on Titan, were deemed inappropriate for children. The government officials who approved the mandate determined that the manga series violated the state's Age-Appropriate Materials Act.

We should protect the Shonen trash so that the filthy Shonen fan bases don't come to our series and spew shit in our discussions.

Aren't those specifically made for teenagers?

Also: this is what happens when you don't show up to elections local or otherwise.

They are. And it's very telling that the "a submachine gun in the hands of a baby is perfectly fine" crowd clutches their pearls when there's violence in mangas. Of course, it is only a pretext for their true political goals, but the faux outrage is so transparent.
