For those who don't know: Yandere Simulator is a "game" which has been in development for a decade where you play as a high school girl whose a "Yandere" (a Japanese trope for a crazy stalker/lover). You're in love with a boy and you have to kill your competition.
The developer recently got in hot water for grooming an underage girl (video covering the allegations) and then threatening her to silence her, and making her attack the person she'd confided in/had released the video and defend himself. He also doxxed her.
The official subreddit completely supports him. Visit r/Osana for any actual criticism/updates.
As I said in my comment, I didn’t know about the content of the game. I don’t mean to come across as such. I apologize for the misunderstanding, I don’t mean to defend the developer or the game or the content within it, I just wanted to info dump about the subject itself.
Now that's done, let's talk about the fact you moderate /r/NoahGetTheBoat on , a sad sad place where fash are roaming free and racism and transphobia are commonplace.
This user is clearly someone who LOVES Hanlon's Razor, so much in fact that they seem to want to stay ignorant about the topic they were engaging in just so they could play the fool. In short, you're talking with someone who subscribes to the "see no evil" theory of moderation, make of that what you will.
The racism and transphobia dropped majorly when I came on, up to and including instabans and heavily edited automod rules to remove 90% of the content that was previously being posted which broke the subs rules (including the aforementioned content, agenda posting, and more)
I left reddit a few months back, and I couldn’t tell you one way or another where things went after that.
I can’t claim I handled it all, of course. There was one other majorly active mod, though I won’t name them. And I don’t claim we were able to remove all of the content, since we could only remove what was reported or that we ourselves saw.
I’m happy to talk more on modding that community if you like. It was an experience, to say the least. The number of ways people got around the automod rules was infuriating.
Honestly the easiest part of my adult life has been not interacting with children who I am not related to. It's not hard, like fr. I don't think I've spoken to anyone under 18 in like 2 years.
I immediately assumed they were both a bigot and a creep (I mean, who the fuck defends a creepy pedophile stalker game they know nothing about even after you confirm it's one) but after their many responses I don't even know anymore, I suspect they're not, just someone that has reddit centrist brainworms to the extreme
As a result I feel a bit guilty piling on them too
I’m gonna give you all at least one hour to pile onto this persnickety rapscallion, folks. Maybe less, but I’m feeling generous tonight—I’m feeling generous. Don’t say I don’t give you nice things!
Dawg I don't do anime shit and have never heard of that game, but like you I had just read that the premise of said game is terrorizing (like literally torturing) high school girls. See, that's when I make the easy as fuck choice to not step in and reflexively defend the pedo game. The fact that you did is weird as shit.
I mean looking at your comments you're technically correct I guess. What was the purpose of coming to the defense of "yandre" though? The guy and his game seem to be if everyone else in the thread is to be believed, I'm not sure what defending him accomplishes.
