I used to be reasonably active there but over time it seemed to me that most members of the subreddit (and, the Facebook Sailor Moon Group too) are only into surface-level consummerism (mostly showing their merch) or tend to suffer from blind worshipping of the creative "genius" and be overly wary of anyone who dares to go against the grain. They seem to put Naoko Takeuchi (and the manga, by extension) on a pedestal as if she's above anything else, because poor stressed Naoko-hime can get away with anything, including hideous faces and proportions and confusing action scenes, because that's her style, because it's the author's view, because corporations bad, the manga it's how Sailor Moon was meant to be, because she's a woman and the anime was too shounen and so on and so on... It sounds like juvenile parrot talk to me.

This was on twitter as well. It seems people took that very seriously while it was obviously a joke but Naoko stans are now known for their subtelty I guess.
By the way, funny to see that some users here don't have what it takes to engage with posts they don't like, but run to Twitter to criticize said posts. :kiss:
I pointed out on Reddit it was obviously meant as a joke, but not only was I downvoted into oblivion, I was told "you can't say something vile and then say it's a joke, that's bot how it works".

Apparently, the moderators took your side and treated it as a joke apparently but................

^ But then the post title still remains there, hence Sailor Moon forums are still terrible. :quagmire:
............... they want the thread alive too for free dopamine. :googly:

Maybe we should extend a cordial re-invite to some of the members who were unduly pruned in the dark days of the forum :P
I don't think Jelly will return. Though Ms. Dream is now officially a partner on that sub-Reddit.

Didn't know there was a subreddit with stuff like this or did I forget?!?! Hmmm..
I just found it by accident. I do remember them posting they were hiring a mod but I just scrolled down immediately. I didn't even realize how serious things were just a week or 2 ago. I didn't even got to see the whole Twitter drama at all too.
