there was an update from the admins of lemmy.nsfw where language barriers got in the way and the wrong impression was made, which was quickly addressed by the instance’s other admin as well as edited by its’ original author.

this got people in this instance concerned until the edit was made, however in two threads about it on kbin social the anime PFPs came out to play and the head admin of dataterm was obligated to comment as well

the funniest part is, it really demonstrates the truth of stereotypes about people with anime loli PFPs. at least a couple of the commenters in those threads are going to end up on watchlists.

    ITT: people who don’t know that “loli” derives from the Nabokov novel “Lolita”, about a man who kidnaps and sexually abuses a 12 year old.

        He is a tenant, than marries the mother, than it is implied he kills her, now has legal custody over the girl, and takes her on a road trip.

        At least, that is my memory of how it played out.

    what a clusterfuck. after the beehaw bullshit it really looks like “defederation” is going to be the battlecry of the popcorn consumer, huh? well, maybe not so much “battlecry” as “call to the decadence couch” but whatever
