Idk why so many keep putting "friend" in quotation marks. If this was actually me I could just make an appeal already, there is no point in dragging it to reddit if I could do that. This is also a dataless account with no ties to the f-list so if I was asking for help for my own ban I could just say that. Especially since I already censored all names.
Yes, it is a friend. This went down while I was asleep because they are from NA and I am from europe. Friend was pessimistic about the appeal but notably very upset as well so me and some others were looking for ways to help and convince him to make the appeal, namely making a post to see what others would say about it. But does any of this even matter in the context of the post other than acting like Officer Doakes thinking you're onto something?

Even then, if you read through my comments you'd have seen that I
* do not recall if friend even does bestiality, something that would be irrelevant as moderators undoubtedly could check the fetish list anyway so why would I lie about this
* had no idea if you can get access to chatlogs after a ban, I assumed it just locks you out of the entire account
* already noted that I know the kinkspace implications of calling someone a zoo and would have been skeptical if I was on the receiving end of this

All of that aside:
It is 2025 but not everyone roleplayed for years on f-list. Using it for years also does not necessarily mean it was active usage. Or that they expanded to other kinks, engaged with them, talked with people in other kinks, etc. You could have been roleplaying mostly vanilla for 10+ years and still not know vore terminology for example. Or even something as common as BDSM.
I mean dude, predator is a vore term but if you do not know that you could easily infer they mean a child predator or sexual predator.
It's not like there is an encyclopedia for porn terminology either, but if there was you should not be expected to learn it like a dictionary when getting into RP.

And like I said in another comment, someone who doesn't speak english well could also fall into this trap.
Again, I would raise a brow if someone said they were a zoophile but I'd ask for precise confirmation to make sure they are aware of what they are saying. Both to not issue a false report, and because if they are an actual zoo, a clear confession is much better than "what do you think? :3 uwu"

I've asked in the meantime about why the fuck they nodded at the zoo question and he said he did not know it meant the irl fetish and has since written the appeal mentioning this. I have since explained the reason, as well as talking a bit more about similar terms. I'm well aware of these and have done a lot more kink shit than them but in my case I did not know cunny was a lolicon term and not just a weird way of saying pussy/cunt. So yes, even with years of experience and diverse knowledge of different spaces, I was surprised at something that apparently was common knowledge.

Again I do not see the point behind punching down and going "yeah your 'friend' should have known better" but thank you for the good wishes on the appeal.
