Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Avoid AI generated content.

Avoid misinformation.

Avoid incomprehensible posts.

No threats or personal attacks.

No spam.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

Conically yokai Tanuki have big stretchy ball sacs they use for various things, like fighting, playing drums, flying...

In real life Japanese goldsmiths used to use Tanuki scrotums to help pound gold into very thin gold leaf, place the gold under the skin as a buffer. They favored them because they were very tough and malleable, they could take a pounding better than other animal skins. Why you get big balls and thr folklore that tanuki bring prosperity and wealth.

Anyway, yeah she probably wants those nuts.

Every time I see tanuki nutsacks referenced it reminds me of when I was younger and used to joke about the tanuki at the start of the stages in Legend of the Mystical Ninja on SNES having a giant nutsack. I didn't think that's what it actually was, just what it looked like. Joke was on me decades later when I learned that it was, in fact, a giant nutsack. Surprised censor-happy Nintendo just left it as-is.

This is a screenshot from Pom Poko (1994) Studio Ghibli. They were cool with this for kids.

I think some countries are just less prudish. Personally I let my kids watch it, better than seeing someone getting gutted or shot.

Nintendo probably started cracking down harder as they grew because of backlash from parents across the globe. Have to meet everyone's expectations.

Nintendo of America basically started the trend. NOA would censor games that were published directly by Nintendo themselves in Japan. Mother 2/Earthbound is one well-documented example.

But nowadays, Nintendo is a more global company, and so it seems that most of the newer titles they publish come pre-sanitized for a global audience to avoid the region-specific censorship they used to do.
