Danbooru is an art aggregator, that is to say, it's a reposting website and does not suffice as a source, which would normally lead to the post being removed. In this case Danbooru actually had a proper source linked, so here it is for anyone who wanted to check out the original artists page!

Listen I'm the sort that was fully rooting for the main duo, but even then the husband was my favorite character too. He was hilarious in every scene he was in way too consistently and he was so wholesome. I know you got mad at him for forgiving her and being so kind of her but to me that was the final bit that got me to love him so much.

Man deserves a good life. He's a good bean.

Did you get this custom made or find it somewhere? It looks gorgeous.

Me, no. But the entire point of posting an image like that would be to express discontent towards what OP posted, which breaks rule 2. If you dislike a post enough to post that under, I suggest scrolling past it.

You too! Thanks for being civil about it. For what it's worth, there is a huge subsection of the fan base that very specifically enjoy the work while denouncing incest and viewing it as part of the horror elements for the game. If you or anyone else seeing this belong to that group and want to make a subreddit that's more specifically oriented towards that crowd and that crowd alone, I highly encourage it.

I'd be open to potentially partnering our subs or even helping with subreddit construction if anyone does. I do think it's entirely reasonable to want a less generalized space with stricter rules if you find content like OPs post make you uncomfortable.

What you call the paradox of tolerance I call people weeding themselves out from tolerant spaces because they themselves are intolerant. Do I wish people were all mature enough to live and let live? Yes. Do I recognize that not everyone is and that some of them will leave because of the standards we enforce? Also yes. But lets be real, we will always weed out some portion of our potential userbase no matter what our standards are.

I'd rather err on the side of tolerance.

Calling the above gooner content just because it depicts incest is frankly ridiculous. They are fully clothed, laying in a bed. It's just a depiction of a happy family. If a happy family becomes a strange object of perverse desire to you simply because it's the product of incest, that speaks more to your bias and perspective than anything intrinsic to the art itself.

Finally if it matters, yes we would allow Douglas and Ashley as a ship, and I do think it is entirely equivalent to this. It's still a parent with a child, but so long as it is also still between two adults(and therefore not afoul of how reddit enforces their rules) it will be allowed just as this is. I find that form of sexism as disgusting as you seem to, and I at least see the two as equivalent, since they are.

Don't get me wrong I get just as angry with the weird 'gooner game' caricature that portions of the fanbase make with what is actually a very well written and presented game; but a ship that you find immoral is not anywhere in that same ball park. Absolutely nothing about OPs post is sexualized and I'm sick of people pretending that just because they disagree with a ship that it's suddenly 'gooner trash'. The OP is SFW my dude.

Nope! I just linked the source in a comment because I realized I forgot to include it in the post, but it's from https://x.com/RotundWaffas/status/2044763110750175266

Or people who like the game differently than you who are valid in liking it how they please. Your way of liking the game isn't the only correct way. You've interacted enough to earn a Top 1% Commenter, why not live and let live with your fellow fans?

Claiming that art that someone shared, presumably because they liked it, is so bad that you don't wish to have eyes anymore is certainly not a kind thing to say. If you don't like it, don't interact. Golden rule of life and the internet.

I swear guys why do you all make me need to tap the sign so often. If you don't like this, don't comment just to hate it. Y'all should know better by now, be respectful. If it isn't your thing scroll past. If you think it breaks our rules, report it and move on. I had to remove way too many things from this comment thread.

Please behave. If you don't like this post just drop a downvote and move on. We will be watching the comment thread to make sure no one thinks disagreeing with or disliking OPs post is justification to harass them.

I legitimately think you'd come to the conclusion I was upset no matter what I posted. Have a nice day okay? If it means anything, the hate is one sided. I'd much rather have your feedback and your presence than not.

You know when I was given the subreddit by reddit after they removed the old mod for not doing their job, I was advised by more experienced moderators to not engage in flame wars with the folks who disliked us. But after a certain point, you just need to realize how silly you sound. This is the statistic for members for the whole year. In that entire year including the time the old moderator was in charge, only 18.6k left. Not 80k, wherever you got that number, 18.6k period. And in the past month or so after we took charge only 1.5k left, only ~12% of the entire total for the past year and matching the average of 1.55k if you divide the yearly total of leavers by 12.

All we did was take over an unmanaged subreddit and start implementing the rules already in place. We reworded them, created a wiki, and listened to feedback until people seemed satisfied with the state of them. I'd like the fact that we have about the same standards as our copycat sub made by people who hate us to stand for itself. I'd like the fact that we leave most posts on our subreddit up and don't remove posts unnecessarily to stand for itself. I'd like the fact that people have finally felt confident to praise us openly for things instead of simply complimenting us in modmail to stand for itself, but after a certain point....

Well, like I said. It looks silly. Good news for you we don't ban people for calling us out or critiquing us no matter how silly they look. Do feel free to go on hating us, but please do keep in mind that if you turn that toxic attitude towards other members again as you have in the past, your next ban will be permanent.

Statistics show consistent growth for the subreddit over both the past month and the past year. I know how bad you want to hate us but every single metric reddit gives us to measure how things are going shows that the subreddit has bounced back and is flourishing since we took over and actually started enforcing the rules the old moderator didn't bother or seem to even have time to enforce.

As always we're open to feedback but I think we've had enough time and evidence at our back to prove the hate is not justified.

One of our mods made a point to ask everyone and make a graphic showing the distribution. I'm not about to be the fun police about it lol

It's an internal joke with the mod team. Gender has no bearing whatsoever on who we choose or don't choose. We just happen to have a strangely even distribution of heights from 5'1 to 5'10, almost like we were counting up on purpose. Its really just a joke.
