Time to clarify some things
First of all, you’ll notice there are fewer comments than before. I have gone through the entire five pages (at the time) and removed all the transphobic comments, replies to same, and a bunch of meta stuff that didn’t have much directly to do with the story itself. This was clearly long overdue.
Secondly, I want to make it clear that transphobic content is not acceptable here for much the same reason you don’t dump raw sewage into your drinking water supply. We here at Dynasty Scans take a very dim view of transphobic material, particularly in light of the fact that a significant number of our readers are trans themselves. This is in line with my overall commenting philosophy of making this a welcoming and fun place to discuss manga for as many of the members as we can.
As such, we have actions at our disposal to take against people who simply can’t keep it to themselves. For a simple blazing hot take like “I don’t think this is real yuri”, a temporary ban is appropriate, particularly given how everyone involved knows what a charged topic this is and how common people going after trans-positive media across the internet in general.
For a diatribe about real world trans women not being able to be lesbians due to some grade-school understanding of science and culture, we as a group who run this site see that as a direct personal attack against our trans members and staff. As such, it will result in a permanent ban, not just in this discussion but anywhere on the site.
As to the people involved in the discussion today, I have already taken all the actions I intend to. Nothing further needs to be done, go about your business.
I trust all of this requires no further explanation. Please do not reply to this post and keep things on topic from here on. Thank you for understanding.
