    Anime subs are flooded with pervs openly sexualizing children and calling for porn.

    So… Pretty much the same as before July 1st /s

      Jokes aside, I quickly scrolled the anime subs I used to frequent (by hot and then top daily and top weekly) and I didn’t really see noticeable change, maybe I missed a big discussion that happened during protests since I stopped using reddit since then, but I don’t really see what you described.

      And before the protests there was already the occasional pro loli post, of course it wasn’t a flood that’s why I went to check.

      Maybe it’s something present on smaller subs?

      Honestly this, I’m not hating on anime fans here but to pretend the overwhelming majority of people who consume anime content are not also massive weebs is dishonest.

        I mean, being a weeb is not synonymous with loli stuff, especially nowadays where anime and manga have become so mainstream.

        But I don’t believe even for a second the narrative of “now that the good guys are off, reddit has decayed to the point anime fans are clamouring for loli” they already were, since the beginning, it is a constant and unavoidable “issue” (in the sense of controversial) in anime communities, always was and probably always will be.

        Heck I remember one of the main mods of r/animemes posting loli on other subs, so it isn’t like the people that directed the subs had much problem with it, it was just part of the rules they had to enforce due to multiple reasons (people not wanting to see that, it being a meme community, reddit rules over all, etc)
