Wait, so pillowfort didn’t just announce that drawings of prepubescent characters aren’t allowed after people decided to migrate there from Tumblr (which is just bad timing), they actually banned someone for posting clearly marked loli without even telling them it was a bannable offense?
While I’d prefer that not be in the TOS of a site that capitalized on people running afoul of idiot censors, I wasn’t necessarily going to die on that hill. (Though I did think their tos sounded like it might ban, say, flashback scenes in a graphic novel depicting a character’s csa, and I think that seems... a bit lacking in nuance of so.)
But not letting someone know loli is banned and banning that person entirely rather than sending a heads up or just deleting the post in question?
Yeah, I’m less okay with that. Loli is not against US law; this person’s ignorance of the rules wasn’t about being an Illegal Thing Doer, but about... well, I could be wrong, but my guess is the mods seeing something they’d meant to ban but never mentioned and losing their shit.
Which I’d get if it was something obscure they hadn’t thought of that was clearly iffy, but if people are fleeing Tumblr, where antis yelling about “pedos” Are basically fandom herpes?
Not Very Thought Out.
